@Landonforward14 @chabot4ward10 Yes! 🙌

May 5th NOM #1 — Rescinding the Climate Emergency Declaration With @chabot4ward10, I’m putting forward this motion to immediately rescind Calgary’s 2021 symbolic “Climate Emergency” declaration. City Administration has confirmed it was primarily symbolic. We already have a strong, evidence-based strategy guiding real long-term decisions. If passed, Calgary would be the FIRST city in North America to do this. Time to end the symbolic gestures and get back to responsible, evidence-based governing. Full motion attached.

This is a weak argument. Epic fail. I must have missed the survey you sent to your constituents asking for feedback.

Time change!!!! Tomorrow, please join us at 12:30 pm on the @SNewmanPodcast for a conversation about National Security with the one and only @scoopercooper , and Ret. LCol. David Redman!

Mark Carney really wants to read your mail. Can’t seem to let it go.

1/ 🚨 BIG NEWS from one of the last living fathers of Canada’s Constitution: Brian Peckford — ex-NL Premier who helped patriate the Charter — says the Carney government is acting UNCONSTITUTIONALLY by asking the Supreme Court to gut the Notwithstanding Clause. Thread 👇

TIME CHANGE!!! COMING TO YOU LIVE TOMORROW AT 12:30pm :) Hang out with us on your lunch break! The link will be shared here then.

Watch until the end. Let me give you an analogy to what he is saying, You open a restaurant and in order to get a license to operate you have to share a percentage of your profit. How may people would open restaurants?

@DanWMcLean Appreciate your common sense vote.

I voted Against the Water Efficiency Plan because it called for Mandatory Permanent Restrictions for Calgarians. I said the City needs to get its own house in order regarding our leaky and broken water infrastructure before we Mandate when residents can water their lawns.

Well #yyccc epic fail today! BTW, when did you ask Calgarians about their priorities? Water restrictions, draining reserves, Olympics … I don’t see those on your list but some of you continue to push your own agendas. Why is that?

@CalgaryRecall Indeed. I am.

@RobWardCGY Appreciate our common sense councillors. Unlike mine in Ward6. @John4ward6

Today I voted against Calgary’s proposed Water Efficiency Plan. Let me be clear: I support responsible water use, protecting our rivers, and investing in long-term infrastructure resilience. But I could not support a plan that asks residents to permanently change their behaviour before City Hall fully addresses its own system failures. Right now, Calgary is losing approximately 115 million litres of treated water every single day through leaks in the system — roughly 42 billion litres per year. Based on the City’s own residential consumption figures, that is equivalent to the annual water use of more than 260,000 Calgary households. Fixing leaks and aging infrastructure must be the top priority. The City’s own advisory group acknowledged that Calgary’s water system remains in a precarious position until critical feedermain upgrades are completed, and that leak detection, repair, monitoring, and preventative upgrades need to be prioritized. I also remain concerned about:
• vague timelines and unclear performance targets for reducing water loss,
• a history of approved infrastructure projects being delayed or rolled forward year after year,
• the fairness and practicality of proposed tiered water rates,
• and the possibility that permanent restrictions on residents become normalized while the City continues to struggle with core infrastructure delivery. Calgarians stepped up during the water main crisis. People conserved water when it truly mattered, and I believe voluntary conservation during emergencies makes sense. But permanent behavioural restrictions and additional costs on residents should not come before measurable accountability from the City on fixing the infrastructure it already owns. My position is simple:
Get the basics right first.
Fix the leaks.
Repair and replace aging infrastructure.
Improve accountability and transparency.
Then evaluate what additional measures are truly necessary. That is why I voted no today.

Why @John4ward6? Unacceptable. Fix the leakage first and then educate. We are not stupid.

Join Mitch Sylvester at Elections Alberta’s office on May 4 at 12:30 PM as the petitions are officially handed in. This is a major moment for Alberta’s future. Show up. Stand together. Let them see the strength behind this movement.

“Democracy Dies in Darkness”. Just 5 minutes after a vote late last night that saw Liberals seize control of Committees (incl. Ethics), they moved a motion on a document production order about Carney’s conflicts to darkness. North Korea, Russia, China level stuff here! #cdnpoli

@considerthisyyc @ShallowSharon @CindyScott17868 @Landonforward14 City of Calgary wants to impose restrictions & penalties on Calgarians for using a service they pay for. It is notable, after 2 catastrophic watermain breaks, not a single person lost their job, & $4.1 billion we paid for water infrastructure was diverted into general revenue.

How many more reasons are needed for every eligible voter in Alberta to understand we need to get out of Confederation?

An Elbows Up! tax on Alberta oil and gas would immediately become the single stupidest thing any Canadian PM has ever done. He can’t be thinking that … can he? Might as well include Quebec hydro in the mix and just nuke the country all at once. He’s right that Canadians should be able to share in resource extractions. And they can, by buying shares in resource companies (which anyone with a pension is already doing indirectly, or was before Carney’s colleagues started pressuring them to divest from Canadian oil and gas).

Now we know why Carney kept BillC69. He can now hold the energy and resource industry hostage - if you want to get around these massive regulations you gotta pay a windfall or profit tax. And this is how he is going to fund this $25 billion sovereign wealth fund. It will get majority of Canadian support and crush the western provinces. @ABDanielleSmith just found out that she did a deal with the devil.
