@richardwarnica Lobbying is about leveraging connections. She writes an op ed for Paul Vickers. It is clearly untrue. She sends it to her influential network. They get value from easy anti-Farkas soundbites, and Cowboys gets value out of the support.
@pdrobertson You must be mixing up the 190,000 visitors per day to the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede with the 4500 person Cowboys tent. It is lobbying and it worked very well. It was a good run but people have a right to sleep.
@richardwarnica She certainly has the ear of prominent conservatives, and it was weird that so many politicians piled on after Paul Vickers op ed piece.
@richardwarnica She's been busy. Overplayed her hand and outed a bunch of bought and paid for conservative voices, ignoring their values like property rights and law and order.
@peteremcc@richardwarnica He doesn't currently does not require her services as a campaign manager but I'm sure they answer each other's phone calls. Its an important connection.
@JeromyYYC In the weeks leading up to the event, organizers heavily promoted $99 single-day tickets and ran frequent "deal" text campaigns to stimulate stagnant demand. Then Kane Brown got hit by a golf ball (ouch!) and had to cancel.
@andrewrsorkin The influencer game is maturing. More human competition plus AI-generated influencers are a thing. People are literally killing themselves for attention.
@RobWardCGY β₯οΈThanks for supporting Calgarians right to sleep! It will be difficult to impose/enforce any decibel-based noise levels; however, strictly enforcing noise curfews with fines (like The City of Indio does for Coachella) is important.
