Keep this in mind. 50 to 30km/h is a 40% decrease, which means a min 40% INCREASE in time. Would you like to spend +40% more time on the roads? And 40% more emissions increase too! To the Green & anti-car advocates, you can’t “suck & blow at the same time”.

Mayor Nenshi says there ought to be public art at the Green Line stations and there won't be a garden in downtown stations.

100% agree. Nenshi tried to gerrymander by asking to take Sandstone out of Ward4. After I called him out of his gerrymandering, he claimed that he didn’t know I was living in Sandstone. Glad that no council members believed him. Do you?

A vast majority of Calgarians — more than 93 per cent surveyed — feel that the city is a safe place to live, are satisfied with CPS services and are confident in CPS’ ability to maintain safety.
At CADA AGM, crazy that city has increased the funding to Arts from $6M in 18 to $12M this yr & city only suggested $400K+ cut. How much do you think we should ask Arts funding to cut to meet the $60M goal? 30% 50%?
