there's a housing crisis and we need more affordable housing and more housing now but not close to me and not that close together they should all be very large and very far apart and very far from me and there shouldn't be any more of it there should be less because it'll make my house worth more

I’m running for Mark Carney's Liberals in Calgary-Confederation.
I live here, work here, raise my kids here. I want to offer representation that understands the economy and the public interest and be an Alberta voice standing up for Canada at a challenging time. 🧵(1/X)

While I'm a big supporter of voting strategically in progressive ridings... the NDP are not the choice in Confed. The Liberal numbers will only improve once the candidate is announced tomorrow too.

Hogarth was an explicit anti bike lane candidate, there at the Bloor west announcements to kill them, quite visible. And she lost. Bike lanes are a settled issue in Toronto. In the last mayoral election the anti bike lane candidates lost.

Province: Your estimates are too high. We’ll tell you where to build and how. It’ll cost less
City: We’ve been at this for years. Show us your work?

Agree or disagree with Cllr Penner, she makes excellent points here!
At this point does anyone really think the province wants ANY train serving downtown Calgary??

The Green Line is the worst political football we could be playing with. A game that’s gone on way too long.
The province wants to extend the game yet again to get a win for themselves, not for Calgarians.

Watched #yyccc questions before going in-camera to talk Green Line. It's clear #abgov has put Calgary in an untenable situation.
Estimates are very early
No engagement
No indemnity from property owners
Little time to meet Fed $$ deadlines.
Province's actions will kill it. Calgarians lose.

A couple weeks ago, fake renderings of a development proposal in Calgary were countered with renderings from the applicant.👇
Today, imaginations run wild about what an elevated LRT downtown could look like - because the province won't share any details of their "plan".
