Four Councillors - Sharp, Chabot, McLean, and Wong - will put forward a Motion to rescind the City’s 2021 “climate emergency” declaration, arguing it has driven major spending without clear accountability or measurable benefits. They point out that climate-related costs are spread across departments, making it difficult for Council and taxpayers to see the full scope of expenses. Current budgets include tens of millions in annual climate spending, with more than $200 million in additional projects planned for 2026. The Councillors also argue that one of the original justifications for the declaration, access to federal funds, is no longer possible due to new provincial legislation. Their proposal calls for a comprehensive value-for-money audit of all climate-related expenditures since 2021, covering both operating and capital spending. The audit would evaluate whether outcomes align with municipal responsibilities, identify inefficiencies, and recommend improvements. Results would be presented publicly during the November 2025 budget adjustments, giving Calgarians a clearer picture of climate spending.

“We want to build more EVs in Canada. We need to because we know that’s where basically the world is heading, and we want to make sure that we are able to compete with also Chinese EVs,” Joly said during a press conference in Montreal on Sept. 8.
Joly’s comments come after Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Sept. 5 that the implementation of the federal EV mandate would not start with 2026 model year vehicles as initially planned. He also announced an immediate 60-day review of the program.
Carney said the policy will be delayed as automakers are already facing financial pressures due to U.S. tariffs.
In her comments on Sept.8, Joly also mentioned the...
A trainer in one of my Patreon pages wrote this about University studies directed at the Veterinary field but it applies to every field. It made so much sense and I am going to use it.
"One of the many reasons that I give very little weight to any university study is that many start off with a biased opinion, and the study is attempting to prove that bias. From the beginning, the study is skewed, and the results are useless".
