She’s not putting the separatist question to referendum but has just introduced a bill that’s making it orders of magnitude easier for separatist enthusiasts to do just that. This is what we call duplicity- the act of being deceitful by pretending to have one set of intentions while secretly acting on another

Danielle Smith says she won't be the one putting a separation refendum on the ballot, but if that's a question that comes up via citizien driven initiative, it will go to a vote.

The elevated Green Line alignment insisted upon by the Province now exceeds the cost of the tunneled downtown alignment from Sheppard to Eau Claire. courtneywalcott.com/council_approv…

Councillor McLean and I fought to keep the Green Line alive last fall, and again in January. Cancelling it would've cost Calgarians at least $850M in contract penalties, wasted $1.4B already spent, lost billions in funding from other orders of government, and wiped out 1,000 local jobs. Is it perfect? No. But we’d rather lay track than waste taxpayer dollars on nothing.  Pending approval from the provincial and federal governments, the next steps will be breaking ground in the south this year, plus starting to engage with business owners and residents downtown to refine the plan. After more than a decade of debate, and some questionable decisions from past Councils (like buying cars before laying track), it’s time to shift from talk to action. #yyccc #GreenLineYYC

When you stack up their voting record, Councillors Sonya Sharp and Dan McLean are putting Billionaires First. The UCP's puppet municipal political party is here to steamroll over local democracy and put billionaires first. BillionairesFirst.ca

"The province has forced the city to support a worse project that is shorter and more expensive than the one that was already underway. They’ve cut corners and placed the financial burden solely on the people of Calgary." calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…

For those trying to understand the incompetence of the UCP Government here's the gist of what happened today: The Province told City Council to vote for the more expensive $7.5-billion "Dreeshen Drawing" or lose $3-billion in provincial and federal funding.

🔫Calgary's real estate and development industry has put the finishing bullet in the disastrous Dreeshen-Smith elevated Green Line alignment: 📄"We feel it would be reckless to support the proposed elevated solution in the Beltline and Downtown" ❌Nobody supports it.
