From Common Sense Calgary:
We won!
Yesterday, Calgary Council officially repealed Calgary’s climate emergency.
And you, our Common Sense Calgary supporters, played a huge role in making that happen.
Common Sense Calgary was the very first organization to sound the alarm about the climate emergency.
Almost immediately after former Mayor Jyoti Gondek was elected in 2021, she announced that her number one priority would be declaring a “climate emergency”.
It was an action she certainly didn't campaign on, but then, immediately after the election, it appeared.
Common Sense Calgary drew attention to this deception, we highlighted the insane $87 billion cost, and we warned it would become the political justification for massive spending, higher taxes, more regulations, and ideological activism at City Hall.
And we were right.
The declaration became the foundation for Calgary’s net-zero agenda, including transitioning all vehicles to zero-emission vehicles, mandating net-zero construction, redesigning transportation around transit and active mobility, and using taxes, fees, levies, and surcharges to help pay for it all.
Common Sense Calgary fought back from the very beginning.
We launched petitions.
We raised awareness.
We challenged the narrative being pushed at City Hall.
And now, with your help, that work has paid off.
Council voted 10-5 to repeal the climate emergency declaration.
Councillors Kim Tyers, Jennifer Wyness, John Pantazopoulos, Harrison Clark, Andre Chabot, Rob Ward, Mike Jamieson, Dan McLean, Landon Johnston, and Mayor Jeromy Farkas all voted to end the declaration.
Councillors DJ Kelly, Nathaniel Schmidt, Myke Atkinson, Raj Dhaliwal, and Andrew Yule voted against removing it.
This victory did not happen overnight.
Just last year, a similar attempt to repeal the declaration failed.
But we kept pushing.
During last year's election, we interviewed Council candidates and informed Calgarians about where their candidates stood on key issues like taxes, spending, accountability, and ideological policies like this one.
And, armed with that information, on election day, voters elected a Council far more willing to challenge the agenda that has dominated City Hall for years.
Of course, there's much more to do.
The City's broader climate strategy still exists.
The activists and bureaucrats behind these policies are still at City Hall.
And there will be many more fights ahead over taxes, spending, transit, housing, and ideological activism in local government.
But today proves something important:
Speaking out is important.
Elections matter.
And organizations willing to challenge the political consensus can make a real difference.

“Canada is walking into extremely dangerous territory and most people do not understand the implications because governments always package surveillance laws as “public safety.”
That is how this begins every single time historically. They sell fear first, then quietly expand state power behind the scenes while claiming only criminals should worry.”

This is exactly what I have warned about regarding the transition toward CBDCs, digital IDs, centralized payment systems, and cashless societies. Once governments gain the technical ability to monitor communications, financial transactions, ...
I am PRETTY fricken sick of FN land acknowledgements and it’s time that all the dippers started doing tax payer acknowledgements for the funds they receive from hard working Albertans to support their organization. This would include Municipal meetings, Provincial and Federal meetings including the Leg and Parliament, school functions, grant presentations, EVERY FN event and any other event that gets money from the Government to run. I am going to send letters out to all these organizations and tell them it needs to happen since without the hard working taxpayer, they would cease to exist. Screw the FN land acknowledgments, it’s time those stopped.
