It took David Eby only 3 years to turn a $6 billion budget surplus into an $11 billion deficit.

What have British Columbians gotten in return for this $17 billion "investment" of their tax dollars?

Thousands dead waiting for healthcare. 16,000 more dead from overdose. Crowded schools that lack sufficient supports. Private & public land rights in jeopardy. Forestry sector decimated. Projects that would grow our economy stalled as jobs are sent overseas.

We all deserve better than this incompetent NDP government that blames everyone except themselves.

It’s an ⁦@albertaNDP⁩ strike more than anything.

Unreal destruction of our province. I spoke with several teachers last week. Hugely frustrated but they cannot object. As the ATA and ⁦@albertaNDP⁩ are collaborating to screw Alberta. Fact. https://t.co/SzYqaVnR8x

Kudos to @GlobalCalgary for only showing one half of the story forcing teachers back to work tonight! Some teachers can’t afford to keep not working and some voted in agreement with the offer #yousuck #onesided

[Byron Wickerson @backspin18]

Cutbacks I guess! Can definitely tell @GlobalCalgary is not local anymore. Weekend News and News at 11 is unwatchable

@KellyHrudey is the best analyst/commentator in the game. I’m a huge Kings fan from Calgary and grew up watching Hrudey, Gretzky, Robitaille, Kurri, Blake. I hand printed the box score in a binder from the Herald when I was young. Being a time zone ahead made that tough sometimes

WHAT A START FOR THE @YANKEES!!!

@flairairlines you suck. No communication to passengers about delayed flight. First and last time flying with you

[Byron Wickerson @backspin18]

Instead on @JyotiGondek complaining about running out of water, maybe this repair should have been done in early November before the ground freezes. @cityofcalgary #insane #outtolunch #firegondek

[Byron Wickerson @backspin18]

Kudos to @cityofcalgary councillors and management for their inept ability to ensure infrastructure is structurally in good shape. How does a city of this size not have tests and parameters that can detect faults in water mains. Someone should be fired #gongshow @JyotiGondek

[Byron Wickerson @backspin18]

@GlobalCalgary @paul_dunphy this looks bad. Heading straight for #Airdrie

[Martyupnorth®- Unacceptable Fact Checker @Martyupnorth]

Vote carefully in the NDP leadership race. Nenshi mismanaged Calgary's infrastructure for nearly a decade, focusing on art and bike lanes instead of water lines.

[** W. Brett Wilson ** @WBrettWilson]

Explain why testing of this line wasn’t done before the major failure?? You just found 5 more repairs that are urgent. Why now? And not a year or even a few months ago?

[Cory Morgan @CoryBMorgan]

The city of Calgary needed 11 people to paint a green box on a road a few years ago.

Is it that shocking they can't manage to fix a water line break in a reasonable period?

This mess has been a long time coming.

[Cory Morgan @CoryBMorgan]

Decades of mayors & city councils have been pissing around with vanity projects & crap while neglecting their prime mandates such as road maintenance, policing & WATER services.

Now Calgary is in a literal state of emergency.

Just imagine if he got to be the premier.

Nenshi could neglect a whole new raft of essential services while pursuing woke policies.

[** W. Brett Wilson ** @WBrettWilson]

Calgary water restrictions to last up to five weeks longer as repairs drag

Why was our supply piping not inspected annually? Instead of waiting for bust up #1… https://t.co/BJgAKPXMhb

[Keean Bexte @TheRealKeean]

BREAKING: The Calgary Stampede may have no water after two decades of Nenshi and Gondek mismanaging the city. They spent BILLIONS on a train line that may never get built and neglected the only water pipe that feeds the entire city. MORONS. This is a crisis of incompetence.

@GolfChannel time to get rid of @chambleebrandel. Can’t even watch this coverage of the PGA. #brutal #biased
