15/07/2024

IN BOTH PARAGRAPH AND POINT FORM, BELOW IS OUTLINED MY SOCIAL CONTRACT WITH THE CITIZENRY OF CALGARY. IT IS MY DESIRE THAT YOU READ THROUGH THIS PROPOSAL AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, GIVE YOUR COVETED AND NECESSARY FEEDBACK. WE, BOTH INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY, ARE ENTITLED TO AND POISED FOR AN EMERGING AND THOROUGHLY PREFERABLE PARADIGM.
LET'S DO THIS, CALGARY.
IN THE MIDST OF A GLOBAL 'EVENT HORIZON', THERE IS EVERY NECESSITY FOR TRANSPARENT LEADERSHIP. IT IS A FORM OF PUBLIC SERVITUDE THAT PUTS THE CITIZEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF ALL GOVERNMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS. THIS CONCEPT IS ANYTHING BUT NOUVEAU. FROM SOCRATES TO THOMAS PAINE, THE PRINCIPLE OF DEMOCRACY(PEOPLE RULE) IS AS ESTABLISHED AS WE, THE HUMAN SPECIES IS, ALTHOUGH WE HAVE LIVED LONG UNDER THE SEPARATION OF CITIZEN AND PUBLIC SERVANT, THE CONTINUOUS AND COMMON NATURE OF THIS MISCONCEPTION DOES NOT MAKE IT RIGHT.
WHERE ONE CITIZEN WANTS ONE THING AND ANOTHER SOMETHING DIFFERENT, WE HAVE WANDERED SO FAR AWAY FROM PROPER MODALITIES OF GOVERNANCE AS TO MAKE THE REPARATION OF TRUST AN ABSOLUTE AND UNEQUIVOCAL FIRST PRIORITY. BEFORE THE AMELIORATION OF ALL ILLS, THE CITIZENRY MUST BELIEVE THAT WHO THEY DIRECT TO DO THE 'WILL OF THE PEOPLE', POSSESSES THE INTENTION, BENEFICENCE AND CERTAINTY OF CHARACTER TO PRODUCE THE RESULT.
FAR ABOVE ANY CONCEPT I MAY SUBMIT ARE THE NEEDS, ASPIRATIONS AND DESIRES OF THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE COLLECTIVE. IT IS ONLY THROUGH YOUR DECLARATIONS, ASSERTIONS AND OUTCRIES THAT I STRATEGIZE TOWARD ANY RESULT. IT IS IN SUBORDINATION TO ALL NECESSARY CONSIDERATIONS LISTED AND AT THE ACCOUNTABILITY OF EVERY CIVIC INDIVIDUAL THAT I ACT. SELF-INTEREST AND CAREERISM ARE ANTITHETICAL TO GOVERNANCE. IT IS IN CONSIDERATION OF THESE BOUNDARIES THAT I SOCIALLY CONTRACT WITH THE PEOPLE OF CALGARY.
IN PRAGMATIC TERMS WHAT THIS INITIALLY MEANS IS AS FOLLOWS:
1. UPON TAKING OFFICE I WILL IMMEDIATELY CUT MY SALARY TO THAT OF $209,000 PER YEAR (MAYORAL YEARLY WAGE CIRCA 2022), MINUS 5%. TOTAL SALARY FIXED FOR A 4 YEAR TERM AT $198,550
2. EVERY SECOND FRIDAY OF THE MONTH I WILL HOLD A TOWNHALL AT CANADA OLYMPIC PLAZA (INDOOR VENUE FOR INCLEMENT WEATHER) FOR THE EXPLICIT PURPOSE TO HEAR FROM ALL CALGARIANS, TO LISTEN INTENTLY TO THEIR CONCERNS AND TO DIALOGUE, DEBATE AND DISCUSS ISSUES DIRECTLY FACED BY THE CITIZENRY,
3. ESTABLISH, BY QUADRANT OR DISTRICT, THE SAME TOWNHALL FORMAT MENTIONED IN POINT TWO AND FOR THE SAME PURPOSES,
4. REPORT DIRECTLY AT THESE TOWNHALLS AND TO THE CITIZENRY WHAT TRANSPIRES WITHIN THE WALLS OF CITY HALL, WHETHER ADVANTAGEOUS OR DETRIMENTAL TO THE PUNDITRY,
5, ADDRESS RAPACIOUS CORPORATE AGENDAS IN ART, AND COMMERCE THAT DO NOT SERVE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE,
6. SOCIALLY CONTRACT WITH BOTH THE CITIZENRY AND A CORE GROUP OF ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNERS, THAT SHOULD I WAIVER IN ANY EGREGIOUS RESPECT TO WHATI HAVE CONTRACTED HERE, TO IMMEDIATELY WITHDRAW FROM OFFICE,
iF THERE HAS EVER BEEN A TIME FOR TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY, OPENNESS, ACCESSIBILITY, INTEGRITY, HUMANITY, TRUST AND NUANCE, THAT MOMENT HAS NOW ARRIVED.
I AM CONVINCED THAT WITHIN CALGARY EXISTS ALL INTELLECT, AGENCY, DETERMINATION, PARTICIPATION, SPIRIT AND ACTION. IN THE SAME MANNER THAT I EXECUTE AND LIVE UP TO THE SOCIAL CONTRACT LISTED ABOVE, IT IS MY FIRM BELIEF CALGARY, THAT YOU WILL HONOR YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE ALL GOVERNANCE IS CARRIED OUT ACCORDING TO YOUR WILL.
SINCERELY,

DAY 1 OF THE CAMPAIGN - LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE, CALGARY!!

28/06/2024

IT IS SIMPLE AND IT IS TIME, CA;LGARY. SIGN THE PETITION AND LET'S GET SOME SEMBLANCE OF POERT BACK INTO OUR OWN HANDS!! I believe this newest subterfuge by Arts Commons is simply too important to ignore. Therefore, I have begun a petition for this 'Monument to the Managerial Class' to immediately cease their established objective. It should be duly noted that with only the slightest research, the full expense of #270,000,000 falls squarely on the city (taxpayer) and something called the CMLC community? Until they are prepared to sit down with the greater Artistic class of Calgary, Alberta; our sovereign space for creation and culture, give an account of their plans, actions and wholesale benefits to the Artistic class, we, the curated and masterful citizens will allow them no quarter.

$75 Million dollars granted to another ‘monument to the Professional Managerial Class’(PMC), Arts Commons (Common to whom?). Below is my response to the latest existential blow to US, the Artistic class. My question is, ‘Calgary, when will you have had enough’? Additionally, I will be releasing my exposé on rampant civic ‘fckry’ by charity organizations and this pathetic and parasitical PMC. WATCH THE FULL FCKNG EPISODE, CALGARY!!

Cynical or skeptical. Either should, without distress, be applied in this case. From NMC, a charity organization with a 2/5 star rating, to this other monument of the PMC known as arts commons, the Artistic class are being asphyxiated by NGO’s that have seized the arteries of government funding. These are funds that could go directly into the hands of Artists, their creations and the toward the sustainability of cultural artifacts such as The Blues Can, Mikey’s, etc.. Further and with the input of the Artistic class, a class that is not being petitioned in regard to the dissolution of Culture for the sake of consumeristic, vapid entertainment, we could be experiencing a far greater monetary, psychic, creative and social dimension. It’s about leadership and of that, we have none. I’m being looked at with a palpable suspicion, with observable machinations of intimidation by NMC, Andrew Mosker, CADA, the Musicians association, Young Presidents Organization, the WEF and insolent civic ‘philanthropists’ for bringing to light these very issues. As paranoid as that may sound, I possess all the receipts to prove the case. What we desperately lack in this horribly governed city is accountable leadership, with its countenance fixed perpetually on the demos. Were that to happen in Ernest, we may gradually infuse the tremendous Artists in this two-dimensional city with all the agency, vitality, conviction, financial strength and creative spirit that is required to make better environmental conditions that at present belong to the privileged, the sycophant and those that, although in the recesses of their being may say, ‘fk the man’, are too psychologically deficient to speak it. Again, it comes back to leadership and who has the intestinal fortitude to take up the mantle!

COMING SOON ON CSI (COMMON SENSE INVESTIGATED) THE MANAGERIAL MAZE TO MISERY: THE NGO HAS GOT TO GO

28/05/2024

Most of you, it may be assumed, are unaware of the current proposal of our 'illustrious' Arts commons (common to whom?). I leave you with my response to this further example of managerial class/bourgeois/polite society cronyism. A type of corporate rapacity that undermines every Calgarian's civic rights to free access of spaces deemed open by the 'Sycophants of City Hall'. The current proposal, insomuch as I am aware, will see Canada Olympic Plaza, you know, that place where free assembly, the free enjoyment of music and art, a true 'Common' bastion for sharing thoughts and ideas, where kids can splash and revel on a glorious sunny day, take over the greatest square footage of that hallowed space for none other than self-interest and capital gain. Now, you may say. 'who cares. It's going to bring tourism dollars and add more banal and non-thought-provoking architecture to a city holistically lacking in any meaningful culture (remember, culture is created by the masses, entertainment by the few... sic oligarchy). Should this be your view then, allow me this minor admonishment. Please don't let me hear or read any of your posts about American politics, or the overwhelming evils of the bad orange man. If you have no desire to fix what is in your own back yard then, in my estimation, you do not deserve any better than the Canadian equivalent of what you despise in an others yard. Time to move, time to groove and for the love of a god, stop signaling virtue and actually get some!

My Response:
Think about it. In theory, Olympic Plaza is a free, outdoor space dedicated for the civic population. Arts commons (common to whom?) is a gentrified, antiseptic monument to the managerial class. It provides very little value to the civic artist and instead, sells it commodified entertainment to the bourgeois class or, simpler said, to those that can afford it. Once again, we arrive at the same overarching question. Whether to put into the hands of public/private partnership, what otherwise belongs by nature and right, to the people alone. We keep acknowledging and speaking to problems and at every turn, continue applying the same ineffective at best and rapacious at worst, metric. How about, other than tourism dollars and some misplaced sense of pride (sic narcissism), we, the actual people say such an uncivilized, proletariat phrase like ‘f**k you’! How about you will not, EVER, build over what actually is common to all Calgarians. In addition, if you do not engage, to a far greater extent, the Artistic class in this city and provide opportunities to civic Artists, all funding will cease, you will fail and the present population will instead, fashion differently a thing that is representative for the people and by their hand. It is quite a story we have told ourselves. One of subservience, warped ideology and the selling of man’s natural rights for a mess of pottage or, maybe, just maybe, a seat at the table. Very, very sad. If all I have written strikes you as unimaginable, romantic or absurd then, you are firstly and in all pragmatic terms, whom the cinematic spectacle, The Matrix, was designed for. Secondly, you have no desire for creative thought or expression. And third the future, should it come to fruition, will remember you none. It is time to start thinking and constructing for the sake of others. To be creative in thought, in governance, in the not-so-grand politic and the practical wellbeing of all men and women. Now, that’s a conversation worth having!
