Dissolving the Municipal Land Corporation

Spending in the Arts
Larry advocates for revoking the Public Art Policy.
Lower Property Taxes
Larry advocates for drastically reducing property and business taxes, and “letting the business growth develop along consumer demand, not socialistic projections.”
The New Arena
Larry claims that the building of a new Arena can only be accomplished by ensuring drastic cutbacks in municipal spending and mandate drift and overreach. The lowering of property and utilities taxation will benefit all pro sports ventures in the City.

Fighting Revisionism
Larry advocates for education on the “dangers of false historical revisionism of Canada’s History.”

Meritocracy Over Equity

“All positions to be merit based only.”

Against the Carbon Tax
Larry advocates for refusing, as much as possible, all provincial and Federal funding based on “ill-defined Carbon Taxes, environmental penalties which are harmful to the oil and gas economy of Calgary.”
Against Green Urban Design
Larry advocates for repealing the “bankrupting and foolish, excessive urban designs of Imagine Calgary, The Municipal Development Plan, and the Calgary Transportation Plan”, restoring the “primacy of the automobile and truck to our mode of transportation”
Leadership
Governance philosophy & guiding principles
Cut Staffing by One-Third
Larry supports cutting city staff by one-third.
“City Hall is a Growth Planning Monstrosity afflicted with the equivalent of Gigantism. Unnecessary and distortion producing growth due to pituitary tumor producing overproduction of growth hormone.”
Leadership at City Hall
Larry advocates for scale-back on the ‘royalty language’ of design. “We should serve the taxpayer, not the excessive vision of a bankrupting, #Socialust regime. Drastically reduce the amount of time spent In-Camera from the public scrutiny. From the current 25% to a median 7%.”
Larry Heather, 67, was born in Vulcan, Alberta, and has been a resident of Calgary Southwest since 1956. Larry works in audio/visual transfers to new media and production of radio shows, and oral family/historical living histories. In the past he has had extensive experience in the logistics industry.
Utilizing his creative and management skills, Larry is a past board member of the Canadian Badlands Passion Play in Drumheller, where he continues in acting and behind the scenes maintenance for all 24 years of its history. Using his research, production, and presentation skills, Larry is a host of Gospel Road over the airwaves of southern Alberta for 11 years. It is here he enjoyed profiling many interesting Christian ministries and topics of relevant concern to those who believe the application of Judeo-Christian ethics to our society is integral to its survival.
In the last eight years, Larry has been doing volunteer research and website development for the William Aberhart Historical Foundation. The Foundation was initiated by the late Art Dixon, former Social Credit MLA and Speaker of the Alberta Legislature.
In combination with his Gospel Road radio shows, he has produced some 32 hours of radio shows on the William Aberhart legacy and the luminaries he mentored, including Ernest Charles Manning.
Larry has many interests and a love for reading, theatre, and movies. A lifelong learner, he holds a Bachelor of Religious Education from Briercrest Bible College, Sask., a Bachelor of Arts in Religion (Theatre Arts) from Rocky Mountain College, Calgary, and a graduate level Diploma of Christian Studies from Regent College, Vancouver. He has also graduated from the one-year programming course from CDI College Calgary and a web builder’s course at The Media Classroom.
Larry for many years was President of Christians Concerned For Life in Calgary, and organized and chaired the steering committee that birthed the Calgary Crisis Pregnancy Centre, now the Calgary Pregnancy Care Centre, following hundreds of film showings on the pro-life cause in Alberta churches. He has taken active runs in elections on the Public School Board, Provincial MLA and Federal MP levels, running for the Christian Heritage Party in Calgary West (1993), and Calgary Southwest (1997, 2004, 2006, & 2008) and the Calgary Midnapore byelection in 2017. He ran as an Independent in the 2011 & 2015 Federal Election against Prime Minister Stephen Harper, providing a ballot home for pro-life and traditional family supporters who hold these values as determinant of our country’s continued future.
His 2013 first time running for Mayor of Calgary was election race number 15, and in 2017, his 20th run.
