Defund Calgary Council

On Wednesday, 4th November, Council voted 9-5 to defund the Calgary Police by $20 million.

You can see how your Councillor voted here:

Now if Council was actually cutting wasteful spending within the Police budget then maybe we could get behind this.

But yesterday's vote wasn't even to cut spending, it was to simply transfer $20 million from the Police budget to fund more of Council's activist pet projects.

Calgary Council has completely lost the plot and is no longer representing the majority of Calgarians.

Calgary's 2021 budget will be discussed later in November

Let's Defund Calgary Council, not Calgary Police.

Please sign our petition to Council and then share the petition with your friends, family, co-workers, and every Calgarian, so that our voices can finally be heard by this Council.

If anyone thinks the police being defunded is a realistic solution to anything, perhaps they really should be defunded.

Most on council are like a bull with teets. Utterly useless.

Defunding the police is absolutely stupid. Matters like this should be up to the public to vote as well. This could negatively and directly affect so many people not to mention the job losses. Wake up people!!

The police service is the crucial

Service for all law obedient and security expecting taxpayers , City Consolers are not, they are just burden on the system.

City Council works for the people of Calgary, not the other way round.

I strongly object to what I see is a knee-jerk reaction without a specific plan. I have no doubt the costs to fix this ill-planned move will far exceed any potential benefits and take a long time to repair. This tells me that leadership training for council is sadly needed.
