Blaming City Employees is easy to do when things go wrong, but it isn’t leadership. www.youtube.com/shorts/VeH9W...

These seem like very reasonable things to do, and will make getting around Calgary on public transit better by improving safety, increasing frequency of service, and building a connected City. Well done, @briantyyc.bsky.social @inamteja.bsky.social @hmcrae.bsky.social @alexwilliamsyyc.bsky.social

Building a Bold
Future
We need to build a transit system that keeps up with Calgary. That means:
• Building the entire Green Line - from south to north including restoring the downtown tunnel
• Connecting our airport to rail.
• Expanding MAX routes across the city
• Investing in smart upgrades like signal priority and real-time info to make service faster and more reliable.BRIAN

A Transit System that Respects the Rider
Better transit doesn't always mean new routes
- it means smarter service that works for riders.
• Boost frequency and reliability so riders aren't stuck waiting.
• Improve connections with better pathways, signage, and bike parking.
• Use real-time data to drive decisions and improve access across the city.BRIAN

Safety by Design
Transit should feel safe, day or night - for every rider, every route.
• Increase peace officer presence, improve lighting, and install more CCTV and help posts to deter crime and respond faster.
• Support transit operators with safety measures and mental health resources.
• Tackle root issues by linking safety, housing, and public health strategies - because safety starts before someone boards a bus.BRIAN

Make Using
Transit Easier
Let's make Calgary Transit easier, faster, and smarter for everyone.
• Boost frequency on LRT and MAX lines so riders never wait more than 10 minutes - 15 hours a day, 7 days a week.
• Expand real-time tracking and alerts so riders can plan with confidence, even during delays.
• Upgrade signage and station maps so getting around is simple and intuitive.

The Premier talks autonomy while ignoring treaty rights, trampling on cities, and pulling $2.1B from Calgary’s Green Line. Her renewables ban scared off $33B in investment. This isn’t strategy — it’s political theatre. #abpoli

Calgary is thriving — in tech, energy innovation, arts, and more. People move here for opportunity, not chaos. We succeed by building bridges, not walls. That’s Alberta’s real story: resilience, optimism, and community. #yyccc

Danielle Smith’s latest remarks are more of the same: divisive rhetoric, no real solutions. Instead of addressing Alberta’s challenges, she stokes separatist sentiment — and it’s Calgarians who pay the price. We need leadership, not distraction. #yyc #ableg #cdnpoli

Calgary scored a D+ in financial transparency - it's time for change. This is why last fall we led with Budget Choice. Calgarians deserve transparency and accountability for how City Hall is spending. The Calgary Party and @briantyyc.bsky.social is committed to turning that D+ into an A+.

Instead of delivering clear plans for growth, Council’s dysfunction is holding Calgary back. Meanwhile, Calgary welcomed nearly 100,000 new residents last year. We need clear priorities that align with growth — not endless political squabbles. #CalgaryPolitics

Calgary is struggling to keep up with demand for public recreation as many facilities age, others close, while the city's population climbs.

Alberta’s #Budget2025 should have prepared for this. Instead, it overlooked Calgary’s rapid growth and failed to provide the investments we need to attract and retain talent, while pushing property taxes even higher .

We’re thriving in tech and innovation in agrifood, energy and financial services – I’ve seen and helped those companies grow. But resilience and innovation won’t be enough this time. We need leadership that invests in Calgary’s future - in housing, infrastructure and transit.

Calgary workers and business will take a direct hit in the face of tariffs. The Canadian Chamber reports that we will be the second hardest hit city in Canada, with our energy sector taking the hardest hit. Calgarians have been smart in the last decade. We’ve taken steps to diversify our economy.

The backbone of Canada’s economy is built in its municipalities. Cities like Calgary drive economic growth, innovation, and trade—fueling both small and large businesses. In the face of this punitive and unnecessary trade war with the United States we must come together.

. With the defeat of amendments to the Local Area Plans - this council voted: against housing, against affordability, and against Calgarians. If Council won't vote for LAPs that legalize transit oriented developments, then the Calgary Party will.
