NEW COLUMN. Mayor Gondek and her crew don't want Calgarians to have a real voice. When they go to the taxpayer ATM they're punching the buttons. Gondek, council pals give Calgarians the shaft again calgaryherald.com/opinion/column… via @calgaryherald #yyc #yyccc #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli
I don’t understand. I thought Albertans believed in the sanctity of property rights? If I want to put a couple of townhouses on my lot instead of a single house, why is it anybody else’s business, it’s my property? Isn’t property rights what conservatives always argue? What do you want some socialist nanny state dictating everybody’s property use? #cdnpoli
@sunrickbell @calgaryherald A council with real contempt for its citizens. In a class of its own. Their sensei will be proud
@sunrickbell @calgaryherald So Rick, when you go the partisan ATM, are you punching buttons too… Or how does that work?!?
@sunrickbell @calgaryherald Now do the UCP with our CPP. Or the APP, or renewables, or Coal mining the Rockies….
@sunrickbell @calgaryherald Elcections have consequences …make a change at the next election!!! #yyc #abpoli #ableg
@sunrickbell @calgaryherald You’re biased (again) & it still looks to me as if Calgary mayor is trying to pull her city into modern times. I wrote before about the bag fee - Vancouver & local munis started it here in 2019. Here’s a sturdy canvas bag which can be used over & over $2
@sunrickbell @calgaryherald They were elected to do a job Rick. If every time there was a tough decision to make it was deferred to a plebiscite nothing would ever be accomplished. All the political posturing and bluster is getting pretty tired.Its as if you weren't aware we have elections to make choices.
@sunrickbell @calgaryherald Both the author of the plebiscite motion (Mclean) & the second (Chabot) voted to ignore the results of the last plebiscite (Fluoride). They have no credibility when they claim to respect plebiscites. This was nothing but a gatekeeper stall tactic.
@sunrickbell @calgaryherald What is really going on, is that the only voice in Alberta, is Smith's. She lied to us to get elected and she is coming for our pension, among other things. We're being shafted all right, from the wasteful spender Smith.
