Call it revenge of the nimbies.

What did city hall expect? That Calgarians would simply roll over and accept that neighbourhoods in which they’ve sunk deep roots to be so easily upended by a council decree, one fuelled by a toxic mix of arrogant social engineering and simple greed?

No. Those who pushed blanket rezoning across our city — allowing developers to disrupt stable, single-family neighbourhoods by erecting fourplexes, secondary suites and row houses — are about to feel the pushback.

Ironically, it’ll result in the opposite outcome most council members imagined when backing this rezoning malarkey after being bribed with cash from Ottawa, where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s regime invents one ruse after another to solve a housing shortage it helped engineer by allowing 1,270,000 newcomers into Canada during 2023 alone.

Did our prime minister think all those immigrants, guest workers, foreign students and Ukrainian refugees would simply sleep on the streets? But you know the answer to that: consequences........
