2026/07/29

Calgary councillors are set to get a major budget boost next year—with ward budgets jumping over 20% to nearly $455K, aiming to hit just under $500K by 2030. Supporters say it’s needed to handle population growth, inflation, and rising demands in busier wards, while critics call it hypocritical, arguing current budgets are sufficient and question the timing amid calls for city-wide savings. The city clerk backs the move, saying it’s cheaper than expanding council, which would bring higher

A new revenue-sharing deal for the Gordie Howe International Bridge has sparked political chaos: for 15 years, Canada will funnel 50% of bridge profits to the U.S. in a fund controlled by Washington — a move triggered by Trump’s earlier blockade over perceived unfairness.
