Since 2014, and increasingly after its 2022 full-scale invasion, Russia has unlawfully detained thousands of Ukrainian civilians.
Arrested for teaching their language, defending their beliefs, and reporting the truth, they are not forgotten.

We are proud Albertans. We are proud Canadians. And Calgary is stronger as part of a united Canada. Thank you to my Council colleagues for supporting this motion and sending a clear message about Calgary’s future.
Canada stands with Ukraine, now and always.
Now, we’re forging a new partnership. To equip the Canadian Armed Forces with new drone capabilities. To create good jobs. And to arm Ukraine with the equipment they need to secure a just and lasting peace.

On behalf of the City of Calgary, I am proud to welcome President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and First Lady Olena Zelenska to our city.
Calgary has deep ties to Ukraine and a vibrant Ukrainian community that has helped shape our city for generations.
As Ukrainians continue to defend their country and endure the terrible human cost of war, Calgary stands with them and with the hope for a just and lasting peace.
We are honoured to welcome you to Calgary.
Слава Україні!
You've probably seen some interesting discussions about the budget lately.
So, there’s no time like the present to get back to basics and discuss the facts.
I’ll be sharing information about how Calgary’s budget process works and how residents can help shape it 1/

Our job is to separate needs from wants.
As reported in the media, the number is what you get when you take every department request, every proposed program, every spending increase, every want and every wish, every downloaded responsibility from the provincial government, add them all together.
That’s a wish list, not a tax increase.
#Russia hides behind claims that there is no complete list of deported Ukrainian children. Meanwhile, Russia limits access to records and prevents verification in temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

This is why the US-Canada trade negotiations collapsed.
The US wanted to have control over the trade deals Canada was making around the world.
Furthermore, they wanted to use Canada (Canada's resources) as a leverage for their own deal and diplomatic activities around the world.
All while still restricting and tariffing Canada's access to the US economy.
If this was the case as Mark Carney claims, I fully support walking away from these negotiations. It's completely ludicrous and irrational.
I put together the key moments he explains it.
My full-length documentary hits the big screen Sept. 16 for one night only! Four years after walking 4,300 km from Mexico to Canada in 172 days, I’m thrilled to share the full adventure, with every dollar raised supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters. Tickets: https://t.co/ovUcPYwXXg
I'm glad to see this set of recommendations from @CDHoweInstitute on child-care in Canada. I'd also be remiss if I didn't point out that @cardusca has been saying a version of this from the very beginning. I hope that with two major Canadian think-tanks on board, a broader consensus on fixing Canada's childcare system can be found.
The best ideas for Calgary don't only come from City Hall. They come from Calgarians who step up. Applications are now open for City Boards, Commissions, and Committees. Learn more and apply by September 1 at https://t.co/QFS2M7qhjC.
The decisions made at City Hall affect your taxes, your neighbourhood, and your quality of life. Last night, Council voted to begin work on Calgary's first lobbyist registry, an important step toward more open and accountable government.
Edmonton, we're on our way. Tomorrow morning, Calgary emergency crews will arrive to help with disaster recovery after recent devastating storms. We're sending specialized crews and equipment to clear dangerous trees, remove debris, and help our neighbours recover.
Like so many across our city, our officers, civilian staff and partners are feeling the weight of Parker’s absence. Our thoughts are with Parker, his family and everyone who cares about him.
I want to thank our officers, partners and the countless Calgarians who have come together to support the search. The efforts to share information, spread the word and work together have been nothing short of inspiring.
The search continues, and we ask everyone to follow CPS official channels for updates and to follow the guidance we've shared to assist with search efforts. Download the Missing Children Society of Canada rescu app on your phone to view missing children cases nationwide, leave anonymous tips and receive alerts when a child goes missing in your area.
Please stay safe, take care of yourselves and each other. Thank you for standing with us as we work to bring Parker home.
If you're being paid to influence a major City decision, Calgarians deserve to know. Calgary has grown up as a city, and it's time our transparency rules caught up. That's why, with Councillors Atkinson, Clark, and Schmidt, we are bringing forward a motion to pursue a lobbyist registry.
If you’ve ever asked “what’s up with that vacant land at Westbrook CTrain Station?” then we’ve got some exciting news.
A new era for this site is on the horizon and now is your chance to tell us what you want to see.
