There’s an ominous feeling surrounding our city’s latest grandiose plan: replacing its fleet of transit buses with all-electric vehicles. But...
So it begins. Yes, it’s a trickle today, but a much bigger trickle than a year ago. There are consequences for city council’s decisions and...
Some days you wonder if certain members of city council aren’t from Calgary at all. Maybe they’ve recently arrived from Mars. It could help...
Can we at least agree Premier Danielle Smith isn’t responsible for the tragic death of a young Calgarian, caught by a falling tree while fighting...
How big of a financial armageddon will Calgary’s Green Line prove? So huge that the excuses are already being rolled out, despite not a single...
Responsibility. It’s a simple word, yet one likely to bring convulsions at Calgary City Hall. That’s because it’s not among those vague,...
How does a great city fall apart? Bit by bit, then all at once. Calgary is a great city. Not like New York, Paris or London, of course. People...
Maybe Climate Emergency City wasn’t so bad after all. At least it didn’t cost us $5.8 million. Jyoti Gondek came up with that rather interesting...
Alberta has a retirement message ready to roll for Justin Trudeau when he inevitably bows to pressure and quits as prime minister. This year, our...
When it came down to it, the NDP’s decision to gamble on Naheed Nenshi wasn’t even close. The vote making him the new head honcho was a landslide....
It’s one thing to believe your ship is unsinkable. It’s entirely another for the captain to keep declaring it so while passengers scramble into...
Just because Jyoti Gondek is the most unpopular Calgary mayor in living memory doesn’t mean she’s political toast. Maybe the reason Gondek shows...
He did warn us. We should credit Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that much, at least. In 2013, when the new leader of the federal Liberal party was...
The phoney war is done. Politically, it’s similar to that eerie winter calm following the outbreak of the Second World War in the fall of 1939:...
A surefire way to spot a politician feeling the heat is when they start disparaging the very idea of popularity. One clue in uncovering this...
Letter delivery peaked in 2006 and has been in free fall ever since

Nobody enjoys being slapped twice in the face, but it beats getting a third backhander across your rapidly reddening cheek. Sadly, Calgarians...
A few years ago, at the pandemic’s height, some commentators waxed lyrical about how Canadians were abandoning Alberta. The reason behind this...
Just because a single Calgarian out of every 50 is fully behind what our council’s been up to lately, doesn’t mean the current mayor and...
