@CoryBMorgan Why is 24 green in golden, but 22 for Calgary is red?

Global boiling!!!! We're all going to die!!! Tonight's CTV weather map has gone full lava!!!

@MikeJamiesonYYC Should use current fare as the "peak" rate, and offer lower rates for evenings and weekends to encourage more use. Also have zones for distance for train as well. With max being current fare. Again in effort to move cars from road.

At Infrastructure and Planning Committee, I asked about proposed principles to change transit fares based on time of day and distance. Longer trip or rush hour = potentially higher fares. I voted no. What are your thoughts? #yyc #yyccc #yycpoli #calgary #transit #calgarytransit

@JeromyYYC Fare gates also allow for variable pricing. For example during stampede to promote not drinking and driving could lower the price. Same for new years ect. Or lower rates on weekends, higher in rush hour.

@JeromyYYC Scrap it unless we go to a closed system. With a closed system with floor to ceiling gates, using tap in and tap out could still have free fare zone, or even expand it. Or do variable fare based on distance by stops.

I want to hear from you. Should Calgary City Council scrap, keep, or expand the downtown LRT Free Fare Zone? #yyccc

Cool story. So this is going to go fucking nowhere as they had months to gather this and only 6% of total Alberta population signed it. Cannot wait for these fucking idiots to just go away.

@DanWMcLean You need to step down from Council. No other career or job allows you to announce you are actively looking for a different job. When Sohi did it in Edmonton as mayor I called BS, and even thought I support you, you need to step down.

Why I’m seeking the Calgary Shaw UCP Nomination⬇️ facebook.com/share/v/17WjhT…

If I was actively and openly looking for a new job my current employer would terminate my employment. It was wrong with Sohi did this while Mayor of Edmonton, it's wrong when @DanWMcLean does it to.

@DanWMcLean So are you stepping down as a Councillor? Seems wrong to collect the cheque while your focus is elsewhere. Same as when Edmonton former mayor did it.

@JoshuaDotFang 100% agree. People have no idea what someone can make in sales. Your OTE vs years of experience is arguably highest in any big company. As for Startup for Real MBA, agree, experience will trump school any day of the week.

@Forehead723 I think sales and working at a startup are both great paths 1. Sales for a comp perspective is super underrated 2. Startups for a “real life MBA”

Consulting isn’t the training ground it used to be. Go do this

Canadian MPs, who earn less than the CAO of Calgary, only get 6 months severance. 16 months is excessive by any standard.

@CdnAngel1970 I'm guessing his contract was poorly written by the city and as a result then are in a position where if they fire him the legal fees would be more.

@Forehead723 Unfortunately, he's still in until December, AND he gets 16 months of severance when he does go. He should've been FIRED and walked out the door long ago!

About fucking time. I assume this "departure" is to avoid an HR mess, but you love to see shitty admin that do a shitty job get "departed".

City of Calgary Announces Leadership Transition and Launch of CAO Recruitment April 29, 2026 Calgary — The City of Calgary is beginning a structured leadership transition for its senior administrative team and launching a recruitment process for its next Chief Administrative Officer (CAO). City Council and current CAO David Duckworth have mutually agreed to begin a planned leadership transition from The City. CAO Duckworth’s last day will be December 1, 2026. If a successor is identified earlier, Mr. Duckworth will support a smooth transition in an advisory capacity. Chief Operating Officer Stuart Dalgleish has also announced his retirement, with his final day on June 12, 2026. Mayor Jeromy Farkas thanked both leaders for their service. “Stuart and David have both made important contributions to this organization and to The City. I want to thank them for their leadership during a period of significant work and change,” said Mayor Farkas. “This is a steady and planned leadership transition. Calgary is entering a new phase of growth, and we are taking this step to ensure our organization is well-positioned for the work ahead.” David Duckworth, Chief Administrative Officer, said: “Public service has been central to my career, and it has been an honour to serve Calgarians and work alongside Calgary’s dedicated public servants. I truly believe this is a natural time for this transition, as the organization enters its next phase. I remain focused on continuity, a smooth handover, and leaving the organization well positioned to serve Calgarians for generations to come.” Stuart Dalgleish, Chief Operating Officer, said: “My 37 years at The City have been more than a career – they’ve reflected a personal calling and proud commitment to public service. I am grateful to the people and teams, whether internal or external to The City, with whom I have had the privilege of working with and serving Calgarians together, and from whom I was fortunate to learn and become a better person. I’m confident our City team is well positioned to work towards an always bright and better future for Calgary.” The transition comes at a time of significant progress across The City, including major infrastructure work to strengthen Calgary’s water system, ongoing service delivery, and continued management of complex operational challenges. Calgary is approaching a milestone of two million residents and is entering a new four-year Council term. This transition is intended to align leadership with the city’s growth and long-term priorities. City services will continue without disruption. A clear interim leadership structure is in place to ensure continuity. Council will conduct a comprehensive recruitment process for the next CAO. The search will focus on identifying a leader with experience managing growth, delivering major infrastructure, and leading a high-performing municipal organization. Further updates will be provided as the recruitment process progresses.

@BasedMikeLee She obviously misspoke and meant DuPonte

FYI: Accounting firms don’t pollute

When I asked the independent panel if we have had sufficient funding to maintain our water infrastructure their answer was, “yes”. When I asked where that money went rather than to our water infrastructure they told me it went to general revenue and could not say exactly what it went to. We had the money, it just wasn’t managed properly.

F1 World Champion Nigel Mansell has dismissed Stefano Domenicali's claims that drivers lifted and coasted in the tubro era of the 1980's ❌

Another failed one term councillor offers yet another dumb statement.

@cityofcalgary @calgarytransit @DanWMcLean Worth a look
