A damning new report shows Naheed Nenshi was warned about Calgary’s water system as mayor, but he hid the report from council.
Then the system failed, and Calgarians are still paying. If he couldn’t be trusted with Calgary’s water, how can we trust him to run the province?

More Albertans will soon have faster access to care closer to home.
Today Minister Adriana LaGrange @AdrianaLaGrange announced $39 million to plan and secure land for 9 new urgent care centres across Alberta. Once open, they will more than double our urgent care network from 6 to 15 centres and could divert up to 300,000 emergency visits every year.
The new centres are planned for west and south Edmonton, the Stony Plain and Spruce Grove area, east Calgary, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Cold Lake, Fort McMurray and Sylvan Lake.
That means shorter waits, less pressure on our emergency rooms and the right care in the right place when families need it most.
Triage doctors are now working in six Alberta ERs, with more on the way by the end of the month. A big improvement for patients.

Shortly after becoming the highest-paid mayor in Canada, Naheed Nenshi received recommendations on Calgary's water utility. He ignored them. He hid them. And now, Calgarians are paying the price.
Calgary families continue to suffer through water rationing and higher water utility costs.
Meanwhile, Naheed Nenshi refuses to take responsibility for the findings of an independent report showing the former Calgary mayor and current Alberta NDP leader was warned about the risks to the city's water system but ignored them and hid the report’s recommendations from his Calgary council colleagues.
The results have been disastrous.
Calgarians and Albertans deserve competent leadership that prioritizes core infrastructure over vanity projects and waste.
The warnings were sitting on Naheed Nenshi’s desk years before the water mains broke, and Calgarians have been paying the price ever since.

🚪 Clover Bar Ranch, Sherwood Park: HUGE UCP door-knocking team, multiple polls crushed and fantastic feedback at the doors! 🙌🏻
People upset with Nenshi over his water pipeline failure scandal and what he’s hiding from Albertans. 😡
The Final Countdown has begun! 🔥✊🏻
MORGAN: "Nenshi wanted to attend ribbon cuttings for new libraries and public art installations, and he spent millions chasing an Olympic bid that Calgarians rejected. He didn’t want to sully himself with the business of maintaining roads, dealing with public disorder, or garbage collection. Water pipes? Those are boring. In fact, he didn’t even want them addressed."

This is what Calgarians got from 11 years of Naheed Nenshi.
After years of water system failures, flooding and property damage, a new independent report raises serious questions about what the former mayor of Calgary, and Alberta NDP leader Naheed Nenshi knew and what he did about it.
Nenshi was briefed on the concerns, yet the warnings never made it to city council.
Years later, Calgarians are dealing with the disastrous Bearspaw water main failures, not once, but twice.
Residents were forced to boil their water and ration their water use. Meanwhile, the man who led Calgary for 11 years has blamed everyone but himself.
Now, Calgary families are facing water bills projected to DOUBLE over the next three years, exceeding $200 per month.
Nenshi wants to lead Alberta. He can’t even keep water running for Calgarians.
“While municipalities across Canada were upgrading aging infrastructure and planning for the future, Nenshi kept kicking critical projects down the road and failed to spend money that had already been approved for the job."

BREAKING: Calgary was warned about serious problems with its water utility nearly a decade before two major water main failures, but a new report finds Naheed Nenshi’s administration deliberately withheld five key reform recommendations from city council.
Why were councillors kept in the dark?

“Calgarians paid the price for his failures. They got higher water rates, aging infrastructure, and many of the same problems experts warned about nearly a decade earlier,” said de Jonge.
As mayor, Naheed Nenshi hid recommendations on Calgary’s crumbling water infrastructure from council. Fixing the pipes wasn’t a priority. Raising taxes and funding vanity projects was.
That’s the kind of NDP-style neglect and mismanagement Albertans can expect from Nenshi and the Alberta NDP.

Albertans shouldn’t get hit with surprise fees or jacked-up prices on concert and sports ticket resales.

The Alberta NDP continues to spread misinformation and undermine the credibility of the Independent Advisory Panel who released the new electoral boundaries.
Using the last election’s popular vote results, the new boundaries would give the NDP +3 more seats and the UCP +1.
If someone tried to gerrymander, they did a terrible job…

Campus should be a place where students can think freely and debate. That's what Bill 38 is about.
If passed, Bill 38 would:
✅ Protect free speech by keeping universities and colleges neutral on political and social issues outside their mandate, while protecting academic freedom
✅ Make tuition predictable, with maximum tuition amounts for programs and increases capped at two per cent for current domestic students in 2027-28
✅ Set clear, consistent conduct standards so every student is treated fairly
✅ Cut red tape for specialized engineering and geoscience professionals
Our universities and colleges should teach students how to think, not what to think. Alberta will protect that freedom and keep a great education within reach for everyone.

Alberta's aviation industry is taking off.
De Havilland is adding a second production line for its new water bombers at its plant in Wheatland County, just east of Calgary, bringing about 1,200 jobs with it. These are the planes that will fight wildfires around the world, including five built right here for Alberta.
Add in WestJet, Lufthansa Technik and CAE all expanding in Calgary, and it's clear the world sees what we already know. Alberta is the place to build, fly and maintain the aircraft of the future.

I agree with this decision completely. The people of Ukraine have suffered immeasurably from Vladimir Putin’s illegal war. Alberta is now home to 70k Ukrainian evacuees who remain unable to return home because of Russia’s invasion of their country. We in Alberta stand with them.
