Episode Details

Calgarys Mayor, Jeromy Farkas, proposes a plebiscite on citys transfer payments to Alberta, comparing it to Albertas federal equalization issues. Options include adding a question to the 2029 municipal election or a standalone vote. Councillors have mixed views, with some supporting direct democracy and others preferring open conversations. The citys provincial property tax transfers have increased nearly 60%, prompting Farkas to push back on over taxation and under representation. No decision yet on pursuing the plebiscite, as council needs to settle on a clear question within city jurisdiction.
