So in line with Rick Bell’s column of April 18, the Metropolis is spending $4.8 million to rebrand our metropolis because the blue sky capital of Canada. Again in 2013, the Metropolis spent $471K of taxpayers’ dough to erect a large blue ring on an overpass on 96 Ave. within the N.E. What’s with this metropolis’s fixation with the color blue? What a waste of taxpayers’ cash. Once more. There isn’t a want to advertise the color blue on this metropolis. I feel most Calgarians have a continual case of the blues simply eager about how a lot cash is constantly wasted by their out-of-touch councillors and municipal bureaucrats. I feel it’s turning into exceedingly troublesome to see our blue skies by way of the overcast ineptitude emanating on most days from Metropolis Corridor.

Doesn’t add up
So Calgary has an additional $238 million so as to add to their already inflated surplus! But, we Calgarians get the shaft with an almost-8% property tax enhance. There’s something extraordinarily unsuitable with that image: Every kind of cash in metropolis coffers, however metropolis providers like filling potholes, repairing bus shelters with no glass, working three-car LRTs into four-car platforms go by the wayside. I’ve about had sufficient of Gondek and the Hateful Eight in her circus, time to empty the swamp.

The Large Bribe
The extremely anticipated federal price range has now been tabled by Christia Freeland, however not earlier than bits and items of it had been already introduced by Trudeau himself in his Canada-wide vote-buying photo-op tour at taxpayers expense, producing a carbon footprint the scale of Mt. Everest. That is the Liberals’ new technique to current a price range and bribe gullible Canadians with their very own cash whereas they plunge this nation additional into unthinkable debt. How lengthy can this charade proceed?

Wealth-care query
PM Trudeau mentioned: “this price range is to redistribute wealth in Canada.” Has Justin Trudeau redistributed his wealth, but? I giggle when rich socialists need to redistribute wealth, however it’s by no means their very own. It’s at all times another person’s.
