@BjCocksworthIII@RTwerdoclib How can it deprive someone of their birthright to vote? Voting is a right of citizens, so requiring proof just affirms that right.
Maybe if @JeromyYYC spent more time focusing on how city hall can cut useless expenditures rather than posting about PROVINCIAL politics, we wouldn't see a 74% increase in water bills and 15% increase in property taxes!
🚨🚨 SEALED UNTIL 2028: City Council locks out taxpayers as advance polls open.
While advance voting for the referendum started this morning, City Council held an in-camera meeting on relations with the provincial government—slapping a secrecy order on the discussion until October 2028.
Comment "GAG" below and I will send you the private investigative dossier detailing today’s committee agenda and the confidential item breakdown.
@JeromyYYC Why should Calgarians continue to pay for this burden, we already pay enough in taxes in fact double than Vancouver using an effective rate. City council needs to step up and figure out how they can cut costs and service basic needs without raising taxes.
@JackieLogjammin@MH_For_MP@JeromyYYC Spending time and resources, making videos about a stupid referendum vote that will obviously not pass instead of finding ways to reduce spending in other areas. When your house is tight on money you cut costs, thats what council should do. Not beg for more money for citizens.
FROM $119 TO $207 A MONTH:
City Hall's massive 74% water bill explosion.
City financial filings confirm Calgary's average monthly water bill will jump by 74% to over $207 a month by 2030—taking an extra $1,056 a year from your family while Council plots a 15% property tax hike.

@KenBoessenkool He is actually very un transparent, holds majority of his meetings behind closed doors and tried to get a councillor in trouble for leaking tax document’s requesting 20% tax hikes. The very opposite of straightforward
Alberta had NDP government kicked them out. Then BC kept theirs. Same pattern for both provinces: hike taxes, grow the public payroll, blow the surplus, then call the wreckage “investment.” That’s why you don’t vote NDP in Alberta. You already have the receipt.
If you lose your income, you don’t spend more. You cut to the essentials.
The NDP did the opposite during Alberta’s oil crash: they raised taxes, increased spending, and ran massive deficits.
