Episode Synopsis

In this premiere episode, we sit down with two of the founders of Communities First, Sonya Sharp and Dan McLean, to talk about why a group of sitting councillors and new candidates decided it was time to shake things up at City Hall. From skyrocketing taxes and poor transparency to rushed decisions and a growing disconnect with everyday Calgarians, hear how frustration turned into action. We'll break down what it means to run as a municipal political party, how there's already been a party that's existed at City Hall these last few years, and why they believe better collaboration is possible. This isn't about ideology - it's about priorities. And it's about time.
