Today, we mark Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass.
On November 9, 1938, Jewish homes, businesses and synagogues were attacked across Nazi Germany and Austria. Thousands were arrested and sent to concentration camps.
Kristallnacht was an act of profound evil. It showed the terrible consequences of allowing hatred to grow unchecked.
The Holocaust did not begin with the death camps. It began with antisemitism. It began with the dehumanization of Jewish people. It began with the belief that some human lives were worth less than others.
History reminds us that evil grows when good people remain silent. Hatred becomes more dangerous when we look the other way.
Today, we remember the victims and honour the survivors. We stand with Calgary's Jewish community against antisemitism in all its forms.
Calgary must be a leader in confronting antisemitism and standing against hatred. We must be a city where Jewish families feel safe. Where people are free to practise their faith and live openly without fear.
We have a moral responsibility to confront evil wherever it appears. That responsibility belongs to all of us.

Remember, Nenshi's entire defence is that the report says there's no evidence that he DELIBERATELY withheld the information from Council.
*I didn't DELIBERATELY fuck up as Mayor" would make a great campaign slogan for the NDP!
Calgary families continue to suffer through water rationing and higher water utility costs.
Meanwhile, Naheed Nenshi refuses to take responsibility for the findings of an independent report showing the former Calgary mayor and current Alberta NDP leader was warned about the risks to the city's water system but ignored them and hid the report’s recommendations from his Calgary council colleagues.
The results have been disastrous.
Calgarians and Albertans deserve competent leadership that prioritizes core infrastructure over vanity projects and waste.

There is no doubt that the liberals are purposely destroying Canada because nobody can the that stupid. The liberals are using the Cloward-Piven strategy to bring Canadians to their knees, the next step to communism.

To offset the water utility rate increase we have a few options:
Calgary’s water bill is set to jump about 74% by 2030. The first increase lands January 1.
A typical home pays $119 a month today. By 2030 that is $207.
Why? Water is supposed to pay for itself through rates. But the typical bill was $111 in 2016 and still $111 in 2024. The system kept aging. Now the City says it needs $6.5 billion in capital work.
Here is the part most people do not know. Every year the City (by council direction) takes money out of your water bill and moves it into general revenue. It is called a return on equity. It is $132 million this year. Under this plan it grows to $276 million by 2030. That is about $870 million over four years.
That transfer is part of the increase itself. It makes up 3.3 points of the 19.9% yearly hike on drinking water. It makes up 3.8 points of the 15.2% on wastewater.
One option is to end that transfer and leave the money in the water system. That would shrink the rate increase and ensure more money goes to water infrastructure.
It is not free. There are two costs.
First, general revenue drops by the same amount. Council would have to find cuts to cover it, or raise property taxes instead.
Second, the City’s borrowing limit is tied to its revenue. Less revenue means less room to borrow. And we are already getting close to that limit.
Calgarians deserve to see that choice laid out plainly before the budget vote.

Here's one small example. TMX. The feds and BC NDP effectively blocked KM from building it at one third the cost. Would have required no tax $$. Instead the Liberals blew $35 billion on a $12 billion project. That's $23 billion that could have been saved. One project.
It’s so reassuring to know that my tax dollars were probably used to fund overseas terrorist organizations and the Trudeau/Carney liberals just strike tvfrom the books, but if you’re a Canadian citizen, they will hunt you to your grave to get it back. ctvnews.ca/canada/article/ot…

If you voted for Trudeau because he legalized Marijuana and are under 30, congratulations. You voted for never being able to own a house or have a job but hey, you can get stoned. Youngsters shouldn’t vote

Driven by net migration, not the “baby boom” growth within 🇨🇦 added as seen in the 1950’s
The Liberal move to flood the 🇨🇦 as substitute to encourage economic growth, stands as the greatest period of net migration in last 100 years

Not parody.
This was Trudeau before he was PM. The two women journalists can barely hold it together listening to this.
Just think, Oxford University, recently made this actor a Distinguished Fellow and member of the World Leaders Circle at the Blavatnik School of Government. How can anyone take that institution seriously anymore?

When folks tell me they are not interested in politics, I say: My grand dad was not interested in war either.
He went twice so we could have a better life and we have had. Thanks to all of our veterans!
We love you!

Can someone please explain to me why we need more than 135,000 more immigrants before the end of the year when theres no jobs for them?

Mark Carney's plan is to bring in 2.2 million immigrants over the next 3 years AND end homelessness
...while we are 4 million homes short, per his own housing agency.

Notice how Calgary's water issue is always brought to greater attention as the restrictions seem to happen during high profile events.
The first during Stampede, the latest during Grey Cup being hosted here.
Gondek, Farkas and they both can thank Nenshi.
It is and the bleeding heart woke. Liberals don’t even see it. Just remember as Canada goes down this shitter you don’t have to stay in Canada you can leave and that is definitely my plan. Liberals can destroy Canada, but they can’t make me stay here.

He subscribes to Sharia law.
