@JanisIrwin How many high school students won’t be able to get to school now? I’m sure @demetriosnAB has data on how many K-12 students currently use low-income transit passes in order to access education, right? Right?
Cost of UCP study for yesterday’s rail announcement: $9M Money that the UCP pulled from low-income transit pass program today: $6M Looks like low income Albertans are paying for the rail study. My Polish grandmother would have called this “robbing Peter to pay Paul.”
Not cool UCP, not cool.
Lorne Dach, Alberta NDP Transportation Critic, issued the following statement in response to the UCP pulling funding from transit subsidy programs: “The UCP’s decision to defund the City of Calgary and the City of Edmonton’s transit subsidy programs is extremely cruel. We are in…

Just when you think the @Alberta_UCP couldn't be any worse, they prove you wrong. This is cruel and short sighted. They should be working to improve public transit and make it more affordable, not taking away funding for those who need affordable transportation the most.

This pass saves some of YEG’s poorest citizens a life-changing $65 or $50/mo These are ppl that are food insecure, working part time minzwage jobs w/no benefits and/or on support programs that do not cover basic needs But let’s worry about capital gains the rich have to pay

The cruelty is the point.
The single most impactful thing we did in 11 years was this pass. I have cried hearing the stories of how it changed the lives of poorer people in our community. And it was cost effective! (for Calgary, 1/20 the price of the Turkish Tylenol, half of the cost of the pension plan…

The UCP: plenty of extra money for their $400,000 a year friends on boards to get raises, but can’t afford to help low income folks with the cost of the bus to work. #AbLeg

Ordered my sign 👍 I also thank @JanisIrwin for being one of few MLAs to strongly voice opposition to the UCP killing funding for ADLC. ADLC employed ~130 & provided vital support for schools, outreaches, & 1000s of rural students. ADLC Budget/yr? 0.17 Tylenots 🙄

A long term plan for commuter rail is good, but it’s also a shiny thing that the UCP are waving to try and distract from Bill 20 and the attack on local democracy. Stay focused, Alberta.
Alberta Municipalities President @CptGandam minced no words today in condemning Bill 20… “Bill 20 is an attempt by the government to centralize, strengthen and tighten (Smith’s) hold on power” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
