SAVE Public UnCalgary Common Sensible Art Lanes
@uncalgary
Citizens who want taxes so low we can't afford anything, so many cars we can't drive anywhere, and so much art we become blinded by beauty.











@uncalgary @JenniferWyness Thanks for sharing a private conversation I just had with @jasmine_mian during budget debates...your connection is tight. Yes, China uses thousands of electric buses, but they were not deemed suitable for Canadian transit standards and our environment when reviewed in 2019.





Mothballing the city's battery-powered buses from the now bankrupt supplier will slow the planned expansion of transit services for thousands of Austin commuters, who are using CapMetro at some of the highest levels since the pandemic. l8r.it/7zSf

✂️Sharp pushing harsh austerity cuts Cllr Sharp, who infamously spearheaded the $831M public subsidy to build a new arena for billionaires, is leading a group of councillors in a push for harsh austerity cuts to help pay for 4 new sprawl developments. projectcalgary.org/sharp_pushes_a…


Yesterday, Council defeated my motion to cut $2.5 million from the top of The City's organizational chart. This isn’t how responsible organizations operate. Businesses and other boards of directors across Calgary streamline leadership to ensure efficiency and accountability. Why should City Hall be any different? In February, we gave clear direction to Administration to find efficiencies so we could reinvest in critical services Calgarians rely on. The results? Minimal savings and no real change. This motion wasn’t about overstepping our role but about holding Administration accountable and using our exclusive budgetary power to lead by example. Calgarians are tightening their belts and doing more with less. It’s past time City Hall did the same. I won’t stop advocating for better leadership, smarter spending, and a #yyccc that respects your hard-earned dollars.
