I relish the next electoral boundaries review taking the last remaining power from her extremist base!

Do they want Sohi to win re-election? Because if they keep pulling all this and he keeps being more vocal, that's going to be his (and by extension a large chunk of council's) path forward on this.

Clearly not targeted
At this rate, we can see the UCP playbook, offload responsibilities to the two major cities, allow them to take the political hit to bring in more UCP aligned councils (based on political parties of course). TAPYEG coming out swinging, and now this?

UCP is completely dumb. Right wing municipal parties are falling over themselves to split the vote. Marlaina cutting funds to low income urbanites. She has no friends left.

UCP yesterday - announce future train plans
UCP today - defund program to support using the train
On form for the premier.

She thinks throngs of conservatives are chomping to rallies and elections. Where are they? I see no one left holding her coattails!

Even Keith Gerein is seeing the pattern:

If they keep this up they'll give this mayor and council a plank for re-election. I get that their focus is probably getting rid of Gondek and a chunk of Calgary's city council, but I would laugh and cackle if this whole shtick backfired on them. Aside from UCP diehards, a lot of people saw this for what it is (which is refreshing for once).

A high speed rail link would most benefit our future-million-person-populated city of Red Deer, driving growth to a more cooperative municipality.

Haha! That's right! I never thought of that! That the whole reasoning behind this multi-Billion dollar train that NOBODY EVER will take is to get Red Deer's population to that unicorn-esque number of 1 MILLION inbred-Trump-esque-UCP Voters!

...who will then vote NDP. Did you see the Red Deer NDP results in 2023? They were pretty close!

A sliver of good news at least

What a joke though if you read the story - or just the quote below the headline.
Government says 'it is clear that the cities are not able to pay for their full programs'
It should be : "UCP continues to throw their cities under the bus!"

Update on municipal low-income transit pass program: Minister Nixon
May 01, 2024 Media inquiriesMinister of Seniors, Community and Social Services Jason Nixon issued the following statement after speaking with Calgary and Edmonton mayors:
“Alberta’s government understands the need to support low-income Albertans. That’s why we provide direct transit subsidies to Albertans on income support and AISH in communities across the province, including Calgary and Edmonton.
“Calgary and Edmonton also run their own transit program, which the province subsidizes.
“Following conversations with the two largest cities, it is clear that the cities are not able to pay for their full programs at this time. As a result, Alberta’s government will continue to extend this funding to the cities and work with them to ensure their low-income transit program continues to be funded in the future.”
