@Sploxx2775689@calgaryherald What if we understood the difference between capital projects & how those budgets can be used vs operating and maintenance budgets. Would that help?
@AdamMacVicar Clearly there are disconnects underground & with comms. They need to pivot & figure out how to expedite plans for system redundancy so we don’t have further issues as well as recognize their msg is failing & conservation will not be achieved to level that is “required”.
@Jaxpuddy@DonBraid No. Outrage is appropriate. Critical infrastructure neglected and willfully so. A LOT of money is collected via fees on water bills monthly under guise of funding maintenance & growth. Audit needed. You should be mad about water AND arena.
@calgaryherald@DonBraid He should be running for provincial spot. So many of these muni candidates want to address prov issues that aren’t within their mandate. Taxpayers don’t need to pay twice for services neither are going to offer
@THERESASMI34612@demetriosnAB And now is AI helping to solve those issues? Most new teachers don’t make it past 5 years in profession cause of issues above…but I’m sure robots & algorithms will help. 👌
@THERESASMI34612@demetriosnAB “I don’t have kids in school anymore” - anybody that’s been in a school/classroom recently knows exactly why deal was rejected. “Complexities” = kids that aren’t toilet trained, severe behavioral disorders, ESL, nvmd actual LDs. YYC/YEG charged xtra ed tax, where is it going?
@RickBellwrites@calgaryherald Cool. I’ll just send 1 of kids from my kid’s class to have their daily meltdown where they destroy shit in class while others evacuate, over 2 the Leg. She & her staff can just leave until he’s “regulated” & then clean up after him. sure glad YYC paying extra ed tax 4 nothing!
@cspotweet She can gaslight like no other. Charging YYC & Edm more Ed tax & for what? My kids classes are bigger than ever, with more disruptive & challenging kids than ever. It not just about money. AB kids deserve better classroom conditions. How much did her office carpet cost again?
@RickBellwrites@calgaryherald All that money spent on her makeover and communications upgrade and she still can’t figure out it’s not HOW but WHAT her message is that is the problem. Cmon YYC, we can do better for council next time around
@ABDanielleSmith Or maybe, address class sizes, behavioral placements & that 3000 new hires isn’t even one per school. Also why are YYC & YEG only paying increased Ed taxes to get subpar resources? Keep trying to pretend it’s about salaries tho. Maybe get the tyleNOT $$ back and fix schools
@jjhutton @Sheldon4Ward4 U R all over these posts saying the same thing- you overlook/dismiss that many ppl bought in places to avoid this exact thing. Ppl did make a choice, it got taken from them & they are allowed to be resentful about it. Certainty/choice shouldn’t be weighted to the developers
@kreativekerri@KybrdWrrr I think Carter has defected to Thiessen though…so she might be in tough this time. Personal opinions on him aside, he seems to be able to get ppl elected. After having to resign from JG’s office, he might also be motivated to do what he can to unseat her too.
@DBChampion1 This is so brutal and unacceptable. So sorry you’re having to deal with this. Plunking giant structures without any regard to the neighbouring lots should not be allowed. This city council and admin needs to be gone.
@lucemsequimur1 I still don’t understand how a dev that size is going to fit the lot. Already such a busy corner. Looks like a for sale sign up on opposite street down from daycare. Hope it stays out of developer hands, it’s not on a corner & any redev will be out of context too. 🥲
So does #yyccc & their admin friends just overlook property maintenance requirements after DPs have been issued? Developers win again. If I had foxtail growing on my lawn, I would be fined. It’s on city invasive weed list 🤨#developersownYYC
Alberta has the most measles cases in North America on a per-capita basis, worrying experts who say summer events could push case counts even higher. https://t.co/IE4No95M4Q
@armstrong_88795 @meredithoneil@eupaulaprado Shocking. A user acct with numbers following the name chiming in. If you add up all the “number acct” related to antis, does it add up to what taxpayers paid for this prosecutorial farce? 🤔
