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.

We know Albertans want more certainty when it comes to costs. That's why we're freezing education property tax rates and making post-secondary tuition more predictable for students and families, while protecting free expression on campus.

I’m just gonna leave these Nenshi quotes here for all you to digest and understand what type of guy he is.
“They know I was named the best mayor in the world.”
“When you say to the average person in this coffee shop: ‘Hey, that’s old Mayor Nenshi,’ they will say: ‘We miss you.’”
And my fave: “They (the UCP) are scared of me”
Yup, totally terrified…
NEW. Nenshi fires back! The interview. calgaryherald.com/opinion/co… via @calgaryherald #ableg #Alberta #yyc

Nenshi says he can fix hospitals but can’t get the toilets to flush 🚽 🤔
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.

Watching @nenshi fall apart in front of the cameras and lecture reporters after completely mishandling Calgary’s water main issues is truly something.
Who’s media training this guy? Must be @JSJamato

NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi was aware of serious issues with Calgary’s water system during his time as mayor but chose not to fix them. Instead, he pursued vanity projects while keeping his council and Calgarians in the dark. Now, Calgarians are left dealing with the consequences.
Rural Albertans know that roads and water systems are essential to our communities. If Nenshi couldn't get the basics right in Calgary, why should Albertans trust him to lead the province?

Wow.
Nenshi’s office ignored warnings before water main failures, report finds
He called a reporter’s interpretation “spin of the utmost.”

Today's report on Calgary's water is absolutely devastating for Nenshi.
In January, he blamed City Staff for everything, claiming he and Council were never told.
It turns out he was told and his office debated it, but he never told Council.
So now, he says he doesn't remember.

Nenshi knew of key water main recommendations that didn't make it to council, says provincial report calgaryherald.com/news/calga…
David Egan retweeted
Nenshi hid information from Calgary City council about the problems with Calgary’s water utility…and then underfunded infrastructure repairs in favour of his vanity projects (blue ring, Bowfort Towers, etc)
And now Calgarians get 3 minute showers and higher water bills.
Oh and it’s Grey Cup week - so that should go over well. Well done Mister Mayor!

As a former city councillor, I would have been very concerned if a Mayor did not share a report about risks to water main infrastructure. Especially if that infrastructure later failed, twice.
Inspector Goldie’s report is worth a read.

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.

BREAKING: Nenshi’s office ignored dire warnings that caused Calgary water chaos. When water main issues were put on Nenshi's desk, he shrugged, and deliberately withheld information from city council. The NDP leader should resign.

Nenshi charging $500 a head to attend his coffee parties is hilarious…
Man of the people!
