How can Danielle Smith claim to barely know the man at the center of the CorruptCare scandal when she's had dinner at his house, met with him multiple times, and her closest advisors include five members of his family?

Glad it was defeated… but wow. This is just beyond comprehension. So much cruelty. For what?!
After much debate, Ward's amendment to cut a $2M increase to support implementing the housing strategy was defeated 7-8 with Couns. Ward, Johnston, Jamieson, Tyers, Chabot, Wyness and McLean voting in favour.

I own a warm home and a car and will benefit from this budget. Calgary’s most vulnerable will be challenged by this change, and it will be used as an excuse to round up our houseless population. Was a plan to get them into warm homes discussed?
Shameful.

I have no patience for misinformation. It’s incompetence.
Obviously new pipelines set us backwards and increase emissions thus, increasing our negative impact on climate change.

Following Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin's refusal to say whether or not a new pipeline would contribute to climate change yesterday, that makes two major figures in Carney's government who have been unsure about the environmental impact of a new pipeline to export oil to be burned overseas.

Scapegoating children and immigrants. For their failures.

A little hint at Ward 6 Coun. John Pantazopoulos’s amendments. He says he wants to cut the proposed 3.6% property tax increase to zero in this adjustment.

If we lose HAF money, anyone know if these new conversions would lose that money or are they already funded federally?

So many of these individuals voting to remove important things just to lower our tax increase. Like are you actually kidding me? Many kids can’t attend local schools, so they need bussing. They no longer get yellow buses in middle school. Glad it was defeated but wow.
Elimination of free transit for kids 6-12 is defeated 8-7 with just Couns Ward, Johnston, Pantazopoulos, Jamieson, Chabot, McLean and Mayor Farkas voting in favour.

Why do we even have a regulator if they prioritize the whims of sitting government over you know, REGULATIONS.

The regulator in charge of environmental enforcement in Canada's main oil-producing province bent to pressure from the provincial government and oil companies to eliminate a limit on natural gas flaring as Canadian oil production increased, according to documents seen by Reuters.

I can’t for the life of me understand why anyone’s number one focus would be lower taxes. And it won’t last. One year of less of an increase?
