As the UCP does a victory lap over housing in Alberta, UCP aligned councillors on #yyccc are getting ready to repeal blanket rezoning, even though it's been one of the key policy pieces that's made it all possible. Yet not a peep out of the UCP asking them to reconsider.

Is building #greenlineyyc an important #yycvote topic for you? Do you care whether the next stage of construction helps expand the line into north #yyc or doubles down on the southeast? Do you have strong opinions on how the train gets through downtown? Here's what the mayoral candidates said:

Still undecided on your #yycvote for mayor? Want something to talk about at the Thanksgiving table? We're happy to report strong support from candidates on the #greenlineyyc vision & increasing funding to transit in Budget 2026. There's differing opinions on downtown & Stage 2:

Calgary's next #yyccc election is Oct 20. A key ballot box question will be whether we continue to move forward on transit, housing & 5A infrastructure or if we're dragged back in time. It's why we're sharing MoreNeighbours' #yycvote call to action:

Pleased to see #greenlineyyc, regional rail & active transportation modes feature prominently in the @calgarychamber.bsky.social election platform. Calgarians needs to elect candidates who will use their time on #yyccc to ensure Green Line is built north AND south & downtown is built right.

DYK that despite the population of #yyc growing by over 400,000 people between 2015 & 2023, downtown traffic volume has actually gone done? It's obvious the UCP & Minister Devin Dreeshen don't know that, but less traffic is what investing in alternatives like #yycbike lanes & transit is all about

It's election season. In the past 2 days, over $2.5 Billion in new transit funding has been announced across the country. Opponents love to say #greenlineyyc will never be built beyond the Stage 1 plan, however the money's out there. We just need to actually start building something first

There's an easy way for DanielleSmith & Devin Dreeshen to kick off construction of #greenlineyyc. They just have to #StandByThePlan. If they really believe elevated is lower risk & lower cost than tunnels, agree to share the risk with #yyccc. Otherwise they're selling snake oil to Calgarians.
