This is absolutely the case with the Calgary Affordable Housing Task Force reccomendations. Just because “affordable housing” is in the title does not mean the recommendations would make housing as a whole more affordable.
You could smell the absolute desperation from woke Calgary councilor Kourtney Penner who tried to preemptively head off attempts from the council to restrict the actions of the bureaucrats at city hall. Penner claimed that if Calgary city council voted to reverse the decision of city hall bureaucrats it would be “colonialism and racism.”
While ignoring crime for well over a year, Gondek saw it as far more pressing for her to call a municipal “climate emergency,” attack the police for moving illegal homeless encampments, and of course, pass a bylaw preventing people from protesting drag queen story hour events.
Kent Manning was charged and is awaiting trial on March 28 for allegedly “trespassing” and “resisting arrest” after attending a pancake breakfast open to the public, and briefly heckling Justin Trudeau before being pushed by a plainclothes police officer, and later arrested by the RCMP.
The Calgary Police Service can already barely keep up with the rise in crime, and Gondek continues to misappropriate police resources to enforce increasingly foolish bylaws. Coming up soon police and bylaw officers may also start wasting their time making sure businesses are not using plastic bags…

It seems unthinkable that anyone in the year 2021 would be foolish enough to continue making it more expensive to live in Calgary while downtown is facing an office vacancy rate of 30 percent, but to politicians supported by Big Union money, it’s a no-brainer.
Craig Chandler a councilor candidate for Calgary Ward 12 while door-knocking around the mostly conservative area should be getting a good response from residents, but going towards the 2021 Calgary municipal election the positive response has been more akin to an overwhelming flood not comparable to the previous election years.
Yesterday outside of Calgary’s City Hall the members of Street Church were preparing for an all too familiar fight against the will of the city’s public officials. The leader of Street Church, Artur Pawlowski, has been providing the necessities of life for the most vulnerable in Calgary for over 21 years. During this time […]
