TFW $2 billion hits different once you find out it's measured in trees. #yyc #yyccc

Cllr @mykeatkinson.bsky.social was quick to correct the misinformation! R-CG has MORE tree requirements than RC-1 and RC-2. It also requires a landscaping plan, where the lower density land uses do not.

Cllr Jamieson says in IPC today that "density is the enemy of tree canopy". #yyc #yyccc

In spite of @jeromyyyc.bsky.social's claim that local area plans are the way to go (instead of citywide R-CG rezoning), he still voted against 4 planning applications that the City's own planners recommended approving as consistent with the community's local area/area redevelopment plan. #yyccc

Here's what the most expensive decision making body in Calgary is doing with our taxpayer dollars. All because some councillors can't bring their own water bottles - something we expect from every kindergarten child. #yyc #yyccc

Cllr Chabot, says he wants data consolidated "into one portal… as opposed to trying to navigate a whole bunch of different reports." While sitting in front of a gigantic binder of papers. Why are people who aren't going to be here for the climate wars making decisions for us who are? #yyc #yyccc

Cllr Jamieson: "It's time we focus City Hall on delivering reliable infrastructure, safe for communities, and value for the taxpayer." And that's why we spent over $6000/hr talking about spending $25k to deliver water bottles to your office. #yyx #yyccc

Cllr Rob Ward: "Every dollar raised privately is a dollar that the city doesn't need to spend." However, I guess that doesn't apply to the $25k it's going to cost taxpayers to deliver him water bottles. #yyc #yyccc
