Blaming city employees is easy to do when things go wrong - but its definitely not leadership.

Building a Bold
Future
We need to build a transit system that keeps up with Calgary. That means:
โ€ข Building the entire Green Line - from south to north including restoring the downtown tunnel
โ€ข Connecting our airport to rail.
โ€ข Expanding MAX routes across the city
โ€ข Investing in smart upgrades like signal priority and real-time info to make service faster and more reliable.

A Transit System that Respects the Rider
Better transit doesn't always mean new routes
- it means smarter service that works for riders.
โ€ข Boost frequency and reliability so riders aren't stuck waiting.
โ€ข Improve connections with better pathways, signage, and bike parking.
โ€ข Use real-time data to drive decisions and improve access across the city.

Safety by Design
Transit should feel safe, day or night - for every rider, every route.
โ€ข Increase peace officer presence, improve lighting, and install more CCTV and help posts to deter crime and respond faster.
โ€ข Support transit operators with safety measures and mental health resources.
โ€ข Tackle root issues by linking safety, housing, and public health strategies - because safety starts before someone boards a bus.

Transit Easier
Let's make Calgary Transit easier, faster, and smarter for everyone.
โ€ข Boost frequency on LRT and MAX lines so riders never wait more than 10 minutes - 15 hours a day, 7 days a week.
โ€ข Expand real-time tracking and alerts so riders can plan with confidence, even during delays.
โ€ข Upgrade signage and station maps so getting around is simple and intuitive.

These seem like very reasonable things to do, and will make getting around Calgary on public transit better by improving safety, increasing frequency of service, and building a connected

"While Calgarians face real challengesโ€”rising costs, housing strain, and crumbling infrastructureโ€”Danielle Smith is busy talking about banning books. Calgary needs leadership that focuses on solutions, not sideshows" - @briantyyc.bsky.social

As Mayor, Iโ€™ll fight for Calgaryโ€™s fair share โ€” with credibility, cooperation, and real plans. Letโ€™s build a Calgary (and Canada) weโ€™re proud of โ€” one that leads with vision, not fear. #thecalgaryparty #yyc2025

The Premier talks autonomy while ignoring treaty rights, trampling on cities, and pulling $2.1B from Calgaryโ€™s Green Line. Her renewables ban scared off $33B in investment. This isnโ€™t strategy โ€” itโ€™s political theatre. #abpoli

Calgary is thriving โ€” in tech, energy innovation, arts, and more. People move here for opportunity, not chaos. We succeed by building bridges, not walls. Thatโ€™s Albertaโ€™s real story: resilience, optimism, and community. #yyccc

Danielle Smithโ€™s latest remarks are more of the same: divisive rhetoric, no real solutions. Instead of addressing Albertaโ€™s challenges, she stokes separatist sentiment โ€” and itโ€™s Calgarians who pay the price. We need leadership, not distraction. #yyc #ableg #cdnpoli

Calgary scored a D+ in financial transparency - it's time for change. This is why last fall we led with Budget Choice. Calgarians deserve transparency and accountability for how City Hall is spending. The Calgary Party and @briantyyc.bsky.social is committed to turning that D+ into an A+.

Calgary deserves better โ€” and weโ€™re ready to build it.

For too long, Calgary City Hall has been stuck in gridlock โ€” endless bickering, missed opportunities, and a failure to deliver on what Calgarians need most.

That's why @briantyyc.bsky.social is stepping up - to be your next Mayor, and build a Calgary that works.

I am proud to lead a movement thatโ€™s focused on building a Calgary that works for everyone. The Calgary Party is about teamwork, fresh ideas, and delivering results โ€” and together, we can get Calgary back on track.

โœ… Invest in smart infrastructure
โœ… Support thoughtful housing development
โœ… Build a city that works for residents and businesses

Instead of delivering clear plans for growth, Councilโ€™s dysfunction is holding Calgary back. Meanwhile, Calgary welcomed nearly 100,000 new residents last year.

We need clear priorities that align with growth โ€” not endless political squabbles. #CalgaryPolitics

How Canada Wins: With public recreation 'falling behind' in Calgary, how do we keep up? Calgary is struggling to keep up with demand for public recreation as many facilities age, others close, while the city's population climbs.

Calgaryโ€™s rec facilities havenโ€™t kept up with our growth. GamePLAN is a chance to change thatโ€”smart investments & P3s can stretch tax dollars, reduce risk & build world-class infrastructure. Not just about sportsโ€”itโ€™s about our cityโ€™s future Letโ€™s get it done. #YYC

Albertaโ€™s #Budget2025 should have prepared for this. Instead, it overlooked Calgaryโ€™s rapid growth and failed to provide the investments we need to attract and retain talent, while pushing property taxes even higher .

Weโ€™re thriving in tech and innovation in agrifood, energy and financial services โ€“ Iโ€™ve seen and helped those companies grow. But resilience and innovation wonโ€™t be enough this time. We need leadership that invests in Calgaryโ€™s future - in housing, infrastructure and transit.

Calgary workers and business will take a direct hit in the face of tariffs. The Canadian Chamber reports that we will be the second hardest hit city in Canada, with our energy sector taking the hardest hit. Calgarians have been smart in the last decade. Weโ€™ve taken steps to diversify our economy.

The backbone of Canadaโ€™s economy is built in its municipalities. Cities like Calgary drive economic growth, innovation, and tradeโ€”fueling both small and large businesses. In the face of this punitive and unnecessary trade war with the United States we must come together.
