CLC rating: Not supportable
Rating Comments: In May 2023, Calgary City Council (including Councillor Penner) voted 14 to 0 in favour of a Motion to censor the images of abortion's victims by forcing them to be concealed in envelopes prior to distribution, thus significantly impeding the efficacy of these pro-life educational materials. Ms. Penner was the Seconder of the Motion (see Votes tab).
In April 2021, prior to the Calgary municipal elections, then-Kourtney Branagan described herself as 'definitely not CLC's candidate of choice'. Later, in October 2021, just prior to being sworn in as a Calgary City Counillor, Kourtney announced on social media that she was reverting to using her maiden name, Penner, in light of her recent divorce.

| Motion: Regulating the Unsolicited Distribution of Graphic Images Depicting a Fetus Calgary City Council vote to censor the images of abortion's victims by forcing them to be concealed in envelopes bearing warning labels and the name of the pro-life advocacy group, all of which will add significantly to the cost and time involved in producing these pro-life educational materials. Each breach of these arbitrary strictures carries a $1,000 fine. This Motion will curtail and suppress the capacity of pro-life groups to freely inform the public about the atrocity of abortion and motivate people of good will to put an end to the abortion holocaust. Sadly, this free-speech-stifling Motion passed by a vote of 14 to 0 on May 9, 2023. |

Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Kourtney Penner on Apr. 23, 2021.
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| There has been a move in some municipal jurisdictions to pass bylaws which establish censorship zones, also called “bubble zones”, around abortion facilities. These unconstitutional censorship zones make it illegal to express peaceful pro-life speech, including silent prayer, on taxpayer-owned public sidewalks within the vicinity of abortion facilities and pharmacies which dispense abortion pills. If elected, would you vote to oppose such a censorship bylaw? | No Response |
| Do you acknowledge that human life begins at conception (fertilization)? | No Response |
