🔥 This isn't about zoning or bike lanes or pedestrian safety or anything else we elect our City Council to do. It's about respect (or complete disrespect) for local voters and communities. Wild.

🚍 We’re studying a new Bus Rapid Transit route along 162 Ave. S.W., and your input can help shape it! The route could connect to the Red Line and 52 St. BRT, making transit trips faster and more reliable. Have your say by October 16: engage.calgary.ca/162AveSetonB...

I’m not going to lie to you, Calgary. Our water pipes are in piss poor condition. After a ten-year freeze on bills, we have to increase our water rates to prevent another catastrophe and make our system safe and reliable.

Mayor of Calgary: "A very small minority of folks are so deranged on this, they assume Justin Trudeau is around. They'll blame him for everything from why we lose our socks in the dryer to why we sell hotdog buns in packages of 12 but we sell hotdogs in packages of 8. It's absolutely ridiculous."

Calgary City Council has taken a stand for a strong, united Canada. I joined Rosemary Barton to talk about why Councillor Yule and I brought forward our pro-Canada motion. Calgary has a lot to lose from separation and a lot to gain by sticking together.

We need to talk about what the Province is doing to our firefighters. Calgary is being shortchanged on healthcare, leaving firefighters to pick up the slack. They responded to 5,941 overdose calls in 7 months. Calgary is ready to work together. After seven years, we need the Province at the table.

A safer, stronger Calgary starts with getting the basics right. The new 2.4 km Sunnyside Flood Barrier is finished and ready to protect Sunnyside and Hillhurst from a 1-in-100 year flood. Since 2013, our flood work has cut Calgary’s flood risk by about 70%.

I ran for Mayor saying Calgary should lead a strong, united Canada. Now it's time to follow through. Separation threatens investment, jobs, and the confidence of newcomers who chose Calgary home. That's why I'm asking Council to stand up for Calgary's future within a strong Alberta and Canada.

This week, Council held our Indigenous Focus Meeting, 10 years after the White Goose Flying Report. We’ve made progress. But there is much more work ahead. I was gifted the Blackfoot name "Pitaasiksyinom," or "Black Eagle." I carry that name with serious gratitude and responsibility.

Trump's economic war could add nearly half a billion dollars to Calgary's costs, or equal to a 12-18% property tax increase in one year. Coun. Pantazopoulos brought forward a solution: return municipal tariff costs to the cities paying them. This is a fight Canada must face together.
