^I mean, she could have done SOMETHING for Edmonton but she wants to get the Calgary vote back. It's been evident.
Still, $270 for access fees is nuts!

It helps when they get things like the demolition of their arena covered by the province or cleaning and maintenance of Deerfoot Trail while we pay for those equivalents among others on our own.

Ugh, the eagerness and speed at which they put this together is gross. I don't care how good their platform is, no way am I voting for anyone aligned with them.
Platform Announcement
TAPYEG, Edmonton’s municipal political party, has announced its first four platform statement. Positioned as the municipal political party for city builders, TAPYEG has been working hard to mobilize those that will shape the future of Edmonton.
TAPYEG has shared its first four platform statements today on Real Talk with Ryan Jespersen.
“What we shared today goes straight to the centre of what is on the minds of city builders in Edmonton right now. These four platform statements speak to our values and our style of leadership. We are idea-driven and action-orientated.” Said Jeffrey Hansen-Carlson, President of TAPYEG.
The four platform statements are:
- Value for Your Tax Investment
- Peace and Order in Communities
- A Reboot with the Province
- The Department of Ideas
Details on each of these policy statements can be found at: www.tapyeg.ca
“The responsibility we have as the first municipal political party in Edmonton is not lost on us. We are committed to build our party into a vehicle to inspire people who otherwise are not interest in City Hall to get engaged and make a difference. That is how we will form the next municipal government in Edmonton.” Hansen-Carlson said.
Cut taxes and fund police. Makes sense. Nickel back? Only tell missing is incoherently saying “common sense” every third line in lieu of data backed opinions.

The City should not treat the province with disdain. TAPYEG believes that if the City becomes excellent at delivering its core services and can ensure peace and order in all communities the province will become a more engaged, positive, and enabling partner committed to address the serious social concerns shared by all Edmontonians today. To reboot Edmonton's relationship with the province, TAPYEG will:
- Host a monthly live-streamed fire-side chat with the mayor and premier together to discuss matters important to Edmontonians
This exact same phrase is the main reason they shouldn't be considered as a serious option. It's a complete, and I mean a complete lack of knowledge (willfully or maliciously) of how the province has treated municipalities over the last 4-5 years.Ugh.
Delaying renewal is the worst idea. It’s such a good system and is badly needed. It was the result of neglect, so let’s not go back into neglecting.The combined tax increase for the next four years is 27%. That's $558m annually. Province should pay it's fair share, but $14m annually isn't going to fix a $5B/year public corporation. It's just deflecting the issues facing our city.
And none of that increase is actual infrastructure spending. It's all operational. On top of that, we have Councillors that want to delay Neighbourhood Renewal.
