Calgary city hall is the most unpopular council in the city’s history.

Councillor Courtney Walcott wants city hall to look into spread of misinformation, disinformation and malinformation.

Walcott says false information is pushed by folks who don’t know the facts or who know what they’re saying is not true or who are purveyors of B.S. wanting to cause harm.

The reality is things are a mess at city hall and Calgary city council.

Dan McLean says this is all about “trying to silence opposing voices and cancel anybody who disagrees with them.” “If you don’t toe the party line, you must be lying.” McLean confirms city hall is “going to look outward not inward.” Councillor , will I be in on the list? “You’ll be in the Gulag ,” he says..
