@djkelly City Hall might want to look at their own practices instead of blaming rate payers.
From article
Because of opaque accounting standards, it is impossible for local taxpayers to figure out how much of their water fees are actually funding other things. The city budget
/2
Over the last decade, they froze water rates and siphoned more than $100 million a year in user fees from the water utility to put in general revenues. How convenient of @JeromyYYC to forget all that in his 'crap apocalypse' rants. He was there for it all. nationalpost.com/opinion/opi…

@Landonforward14 At last week’s Ward 8 budget meeting, I asked Councillor Schmidt why he voted against reviewing the line-item budget. He said he didn’t have time to sift through “millions of items” to find savings before the budget was finalized. Is this accurate?

No we don’t
They are counting our pensions as their asset.
Our pensions are not their asset. No other country does this, it dishonest accounting, and if you did it in the private sector, you’d be in jail. Our pensions are untouchable.

🤔 Remember the #WEScandal? Sophie Grégoire Trudeau's ambassador role was unpaid, but her flights, hotels and car service were covered.
Then in a spectacular boneheaded display, the Liberal government of the day, led by her (at that time) husband Justin Trudeau, subsequently signed an agreement worth up to $543.5 million with WE's foundation before it was cancelled amid the massive public backlash and controversy.
"Volunteer" didn't make the family connections irrelevant then, and it sure as hell doesn't now.
Yet… Diana Carney's "volunteer" appointment as Ocean Envoy by a minister in her Prime Minister husband's government, followed thirteen days later by her PM husband @MarkJCarney announcing $1.2 billion for ocean protection, gets fiercely defended by those same Liberals, all pointing to Diana Fox Carney's salary information NOBODY asked for! Somewhere CBC pundits are brainstorming how to convincingly blame Pierre for the whole mess.
Now, who remembers Anaida Poilievre's parliamentary career, which began before her marriage to Pierre, and attracted an onslaught of Liberals online voicing insinuations of favouritism, cronyism and nepotism during the last election campaign. Every "ism" in the cupboard that Liberal supporters could find was hurled at her.
But somehow, and this is borrowing logic from the 'Liberalverse', Diana gets appointed, and suddenly the liberal peanut gallery vocabulary shrinks to "volunteer," with nary an "ism" in sight.
Sweet mother of leftist insanity...🤦🏼♀️ The question is how the Prime Minister's wife got the appointment, not whether she gets a paycheque. You'd have to work quite hard to misunderstand something that simple, and yet here they are, finally putting in the effort and representing with the craziest of them.
So... it's a different prime minister, and a different wife, just serving up the same deluded expectation that Canadians are too stupid to notice and too easily impressed by style without substance to insist on integrity.

This is terrifying because it isn’t even close to a binary choice. The pipes won’t explode if we don’t overtax Calgarians.
Socialists always fall back on the same answer: give government more money and everything will be fine. My colleague doesn’t mention priority spending or core services once. Higher rates are presented as the only solution.
This is what we’re facing heading into budget, and why my fellow councillors and I came forward with a promise to do the actual work and cut non-core spending and fix the pipes.

Prime Minister @MarkJCarney called the by-elections. Then he called Trump.
Canadians do not need more theatre. They do not need another month-long circus, designed to distract from Liberal failures here at home.

Boss level move sharing a clip of a liberal criticizing the MP sharing the clip for sharing clips.
So I also shared the clip.
The Liberals are criticizing Conservatives for sharing clips from Heritage Committee.
Canada is a democracy and Canadians have a right to see what their elected representatives are saying and doing in Parliament.
So yes, I will continue sharing committee clips with Canadians. They deserve to see exactly what goes on in Parliament.

UNFOLDING! PART ONE!
What is unfolding in Canada is not politics. It is not reform. It is a hostile takeover by global forces using one of the most sophisticated and destructive plans ever devised to collapse a free society from within.
The plan is referred to as the Cloward-Piven Strategy. The man they have chosen to complete this agenda is Mark Carney.
Mark Carney was not elected. He was selected. His loyalty is not to the Canadian people. It is to the World Economic Forum (WEF), the United Nations (UN), the Bank for International Settlements, and other unelected global institutions that aim to erase national sovereignty and individual freedom.
(Cloward Piven Strategy in definition: The strategy aims to utilize "militant anti-poverty groups" to facilitate a "political crisis" by overloading the welfare system via an increase in welfare claims, forcing the creation of a system of guaranteed minimum income and "redistributing income through the federal government.")
In 1966, Columbia University professors Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven developed an eight-point strategy to collapse a free nation from within intentionally. Their idea was to overwhelm the system through massive economic and social destabilization so that citizens would beg for authoritarian control in exchange for survival. This strategy has now been adapted and weaponized by global financial elites and is being applied to Canada right now.
If you have never heard of the Cloward-Piven Strategy, it does not matter. It is already being implemented for you. You are not imagining the chaos. It is designed to demoralize you, to confuse you, and to make you submit.
Mark Carney is the chosen executor. Below are the eight points of the Cloward-Piven Strategy, along with concrete actions Carney has taken to implement each one.
1. Overload and bankrupt the welfare system
In 2020, during the COVID-19 lockdowns, Carney publicly supported massive government stimulus spending, including the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB), which gave more than eight million Canadians free money with no strings attached. This program cost over 81 billion Canadian dollars. Carney, in a July 2020 speech to the London School of Economics, called these types of stimulus packages "essential tools for transition" and praised the role of public finance in "accelerating the shift to stakeholder capitalism."
The Canadian COVID-19 lockdowns were not about public health. They were all about creating permanent dependency. The more individuals rely on government support, the more control the government has. Canada’s debt has now reached more than 1.5 trillion dollars. The system is being driven toward bankruptcy by design.
2. Raise the cost of living until survival becomes the only focus
In February 2021, Carney co-authored a report for the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero, where he pushed for removing capital from carbon-based industries and redirecting it into climate-compliant investments. The direct outcome of this has been a reduction in oil and gas supply, spiking prices across the board.
In July 2022, Carney’s climate agenda began affecting Canadian energy producers when major banks stopped issuing loans to oil and gas firms unless they complied with net-zero targets. With fuel prices soaring, Canadians now face historic inflation. Food banks across the country report record demand. In Canada, the cost of groceries has increased from March 2020 to March 2025, approximately 30.2 percent in total.
Carney knows these policies crush the middle class. That is the point. When individuals struggle to feed their families or fill their gas tanks, they stop resisting.
3. Defund and destabilize law enforcement
On June 8, 2020, just days after the death of George Floyd in the United States, Carney wrote an op-ed in the Globe and Mail endorsing social movements that called for defunding police.

This is a must read article folks. We can't let this happen.
'What is unfolding in Canada is not politics. It is not reform. It is a hostile takeover by global forces using one of the most sophisticated and destructive plans ever devised to collapse a free society from within.'
It's a long read, but lays out EVERYTHING Mark Carney is doing.
EVERY Canadian needs to read this. View article

Farka$ & the $pender$ will spend Calgarians out of their homes, using wide-margin Council votes to pursue their ever-expanding wish list. Affordability was a campaign promise. Higher taxes, utility rates and spending are their delivery.
I think that’s should be a meme.🤔

Each time you hear Carney say “In a more dangerous and divided world,” know that it’s an age-old fear mongering tactic so that you don’t question when he:
1) introduces new laws to limit more of your freedoms
2) spends more of your tax money on government bureaucracies
3) spends more of your tax money outside Canada
It’s that simple folks. Hopefully you recognize the pattern next time he does it.

I have put together every single screenshot I could find from the PMO documents where Carney has said “In a dangerous and divided world”
Every yellow highlight you see is him saying or using that line.
Out of 123 press releases, statements, videos & speeches he said it 146 times!
This is a high res jpeg, so you can zoom in and see each one.
I’d say him using that line on Canadians has gone too far.

Where is spending restraint at Calgary City Hall?
Taxpayers face steep tax and utility hikes while the Green Line recruits another permanent manager at up to 189K/yr, with duties including hiring more staff.
What’s Council done to prove this cost is necessary, not duplicative?

I wonder if Mayor Jeromy considers Transit Event Planners an essential service over water. These are the kinds of things that surface when line item detail is scrutinized.
City of Calgary is paying up to $89K / yr for a Transit Event Planner to plan internal employee events.
The party continues at City Hall while Calgarians get tax increases and utility hikes.
What are you doing to cut your spending #yyccc?
