@JenniferWyness You have betrayed the trust of those you represent in #Ward2 by voting in favour of this ridiculous overstepping upzoning. I will enthusiastically and actively campaign to make sure you don’t keep your job. #yyc #yyccv

My team and I are fairly certain the Liberals will attempt to further cook the books today in their immigration levels plan.
The question is how.
Will they (and they've done all these things before):
4%Not show new PRs
14%Reclassify temps as PRs
13%Sneaky new stream
69%Just flat out mislead

Farka$ suggests provincial education tax relief will reduce the overall property-tax increase, without committing to reducing Calgary’s own municipal taxes or spending.
Is Council planning to use provincial tax relief to cushion its

Anyone looking for an accountant job in Toronto?
@KPMG_Canada in Toronto is claiming they cannot not find Canadian workers to fill 15 accounting jobs.
Do you think there aren't 15 out of work Canadian accountants in Toronto? Mark Carney does. ⬇️
KPMG is trying to hire 15 foreign accountants in downtown Toronto at $80,000+ each.
In four days, Mark Carney will let corporations hire high wage occupations from abroad without even trying to hire a Canadian first.
Toronto’s unemployment rate is sitting at 7% with youth unemployment at 17%. KPMG should be hiring and training Canadians, not getting a free pass to bypass local workers.

Farkas owes Calgary taxpayers an explanation for voting against greater scrutiny of City spending.
Farkas and 7 councillors voted against obtaining transaction-level spending records for all 25 City business units before budget deliberations.

Council has spoken.
We are heading into budget with one hand tied behind our back.
Today’s simple motion for transaction-level spending records across all 25 business units will not be released before budget (so Council could see patterns and prioritize before locking the multi-year budget).
Last November, Cllr. Ward’s amendment for a modest 2.4% cut across 5 administrative departments ($9.5M) was defeated after Admin said it wasn’t advisable. It took me 11 months to get line-by-line actuals for just 3 of those units. Clear non-priority spending was obvious and was well above the proposed 2.4%.
DEFEATED 9-6.
Against: Farkas, Pantazopoulos, Clark, Kelly, Schmidt, Yule, Dhaliwal, Chabot
For: Jamieson, McLean, Wyness, Tyers, Ward, Johnston
Taxpayers deserved the full picture. Sorry I failed.

After 11 months of requests, I’m bringing an urgent motion tomorrow for detailed City spending records (transaction-level actuals) for Council and staff.
I exhausted every option to get this without extra cost or direction. Admin says tomorrow is the last day they can prep it before budget starts.
Cost: up to $100k (one-time). $150k/year going forward.
Delivery in PDF, not Excel.
This is not micromanaging Administration. It’s giving Council the ability to see spending patterns, ask better questions, and direct limited dollars to our highest priorities before we lock in the next four-year budget.

City Hall is making it increasingly unaffordable for Calgarians to remain in their homes or even afford essential water services.
On October 27, Farkas voted AGAINST obtaining transaction-level spending records for all 25 City business units before

Carney’s view of standing up for Canada appears to be making speeches and taking international trips, not fixing our own domestic policies that hurt us.

David Eby didn’t honour or value the majority mandate voters gave him less than 2 years ago. He could have been Premier until October 2028. He threw it away and played a cynical political game by calling this election. Frustrated voters in a bad economy called ‘bullshit’.
Susan Livingston-Fankhauser retweeted
I'm not sad to say that Eby is out.
His track record was horrible. BC needed better and he gave voters the chance to have better by calling an extremely early election.
"I'll be offering my resignation as premier. Obviously."
@Dave_Eby confirms he is stepping down as Premier and BC NDP leader following his election loss to @LDoerkson's BC Conservatives.

I'm not sure how David Cochrane could have asked Smith this question the way he did.
Maybe ask it a different way but...
UPC and CPC are not the same party, not even affiliated.
The NDP is one national federation. One organization.
If he doesn't know that...why is he on air?

Premier Smith embarrasses the NDP/Liberal spokesperson Cochrane.

Michelle Rempel Garner says Liberals brought in "too many immigrants too fast" as Canadians line up for scarce jobs and wait 20+ hours in ERs. Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab insists the reforms "are working."

A man serving LIFE for sexually assaulting & strangling one woman to death,
and beating a 15 yr old girl so badly she is now blind, brain damaged & a quadriplegic,
has been SITTING in McGill law classes since August.
More than half his classmates are women.
None of them were told.
Many now say they feel unsafe.
When the school finally pulled him, pending a safety review, the Law Students' Association fought to put him BACK IN THE ROOM.
A room full of future lawyers & potentially judges, looked at a predator and a room full of frightened women,
AND PICKED THE PREDATOR!

I am in QP.
We, Conservatives, just asked the government why they gave a $12,000,000 contract to an American company rather than the Canadian Commissionaires who had a similar bid.
Minister Wayne Long just said, “we stand by this decision”.
Unreal.
Hire Canadians. Period.

Mark Carney DENIES there is a cost of living crisis.
He claims affordability is the best it’s been in a decade.

Calgary taxpayers face rising utility bills while Water Services advertises a temp non-frontline Application Analyst costing up to $169K + benefits.
Hey, Mayor Jeromy: Why another position? Can’t existing staff do the work? Where’s the cost justification?

Liberal mass immigration has contributed to depressed wages, high rents, and massive healthcare wait times.
Conservatives will remove non-citizens who have no legal right to be here.
Conservatives will sharply cut immigration so we can hire, train and house Canadians first.

Surreal attacks on our thoughtful nation-leading Premier. She allowed the vote. She asked for 9 yes votes and one “let’s stay” vote. And delivered!!
Thank you @ABDanielleSmith
Thank you, Alberta!
I’m very pleased to see the initial results from Elections Alberta show widespread support for remaining in Canada. Albertans have voted for a stronger Alberta in a united Canada.
Thank you to all Albertans who took time to vote on these critically important referendum questions.
Tomorrow evening, October 20, I will address Albertans live at 6:45 p.m. to discuss the results of all referendum questions for which results are available, and where our province goes from here.
