Today, I brought forward an amendment to request a full report on discretionary expenses for directors and above - but, of course, it didn't pass. This wasn't about pointing fingers; it was about accountability. When trips to places like the Banff Springs Hotel or $4,000 stays at luxury conferences... show more

Thank @SonyaSharpYYC for trying to bring transparency to the city council. This proves just how much some on the City Council fears that, and how much they disrespect tax paying Calgarians.

It is sad state of affairs, all of Calgary should be ashamed of the Administration and the hateful 8

Of course it didn’t pass….the hateful 8 and the ring leader are colluding to waste tax payer money

The one that really got me was $300 for chocolate expensed at the same time as a $1000/night stay at the Banff Springs Hotel. How dare they, when Calgarians weren't allowed to even turn on their garden hoses for five hot, smokey summer months!

Maybe the issue of pensions has come up but I haven't seen it. There are some 2,200 city employees who get a second and third pension. These cost around $15,000,000 per year. They need to be eliminated... completely. Why hasn't this been discussed?

Why don’t you publish who voted against this?

Sonya Sharp1 year ago

Hi Steve, the members of Council that voted against my motion were Mayor Gondek, Councillors Carra, Penner, Mian, Pootmans, Dhaliwal, Demong, Walcott and Spencer.

I was disgusted that this didn't pass. Most every single work trip I've been on usually included a small report or presentation to my boss on what my learnings were + how their investment will benefit the company. Admin needs an overhaul.

Accountability? Never ever will happen. Thankfully an election is coming.

leader hyeongjun 🥺🥺 💬 when do you realize that your friend has become a grown-up? dongpyo: hyeongjun sometimes reaches out to me when he has a lot on his mind or having a hard time. so when we talk about those things at that time, or when we talk while eating meat together, seeing how deeply he thinks about his group and how much he worries about how he can move forward in a better direction makes me think “wow he has really grown up”. it makes me realize again that we’re no longer 18 year old kids anymore. hyeongjun: when i think about being a grown-up, it’s not about becoming an adult. i think it means being able to take responsibility. responsibility for the position you’re in. like now that i’ve become a leader, i think about what kind of responsibility i can take on as a leader? and for the members to follow/listen to me when i say something, i also have to do ‘that well’ myself (to be an example). that’s the reason i think about things like this a lot.

I asked for the LONG BILL to be read at length today. Not to stall. Not for politics. But because what’s happening in this building is being buried, and the people of Colorado deserve time to SEE it. We’ve heard nonstop speeches about “protecting victims.” But as a victim of sexual harassment inside this Capitol, I was denied justice. No transparency. No accountability. Instead? It was buried. And the moment I stood up to say it from the well… Majority Leadership moved to shut it down. The Majority Leader rushed to lay the bill over—using a rule most people have never even heard of. Silenced. Again. Let that sink in. They will preach about victims— but when it’s one of their own? They shut it down. They bury it. They move on. So yes, I’m slowing this process down. Because this isn’t just about a $46 BILLION budget being rushed through in hours. It’s about a culture that protects itself instead of protecting victims. Colorado deserves honesty. Colorado deserves transparency. And victims deserve to be heard, not silenced.

Trump: "'Sir, could I have a little breakfast so we could discuss this bill?' You know, like a perfect bill, like voter ID or something. But Bill didn't have to be too great to do it. He said, 'Can we maybe have a little breakfast at the White House, sir? 'Cause I can get there, but I'm just not there.' 'Come on over for breakfast, Bill.' You know? I got a lot of them too. I have about nine of them. But these are the people we love. These are the people we love."

Homeowners face an average 5.5% tax increase next year—and for condo owners, it’s an even steeper 10.5%. I couldn’t support another increase in taxes. Instead of delivering real relief for families and businesses, the budget approved by the majority of #yyccc yesterday prioritizes bureaucracy over solutions. Alongside four of my colleagues, I brought forward several amendments to cut unnecessary spending—like reducing the $6.5M executive leadership budget and holding senior management accountable for extravagant travel expenses. Unfortunately, these were rejected. Calgarians deserve transparency. To fix this broken process, I proposed re-establishing the Finance and Budget Committee to ensure every dollar is accounted for and scrutinized. Again, the majority of this Council didn't want to roll up their sleeves and do this work. While I supported funding to keep the Inglewood Pool open, waiving patio fees for small businesses, and investing in critical services like public safety and infrastructure, Calgarians still want The City to do more with less while The City does less with more. I’ll continue fighting for responsible spending and transparent leadership. Calgarians deserve better. This isn’t over.

It's time to cut through the bullshit about the Cowboys tent. Stampede succeeds because Calgarians welcome millions of people into our city. That goodwill matters. A few operators do not get to treat neighbours like garbage and damage the reputation of an event that belongs to all of us. By now you've seen the coordinated smear campaign from out-of-town politicians. They think you're stupid and want you to believe that we're somehow cancelling Stampede by asking the big tents to use the same rules in place at Coachella, Lollapooloza and all the other world class festivals. That's the first piece of bullshit. We're not talking about Stampede at all. We're talking about a few off-site tents that have been treating their neighbors like garbage. Here's the truth. In the last few years, the tents were given a special exemption way above and beyond what was in place up until about 2019. People living near these tents were told to call 311 and wait. Their windows shook and broke. Their shelves rattled. Music ran on weeknights until 2 or 3 a.m. They dealt with property damage, public disorder, and excessive intoxication outside their homes. Thousands of Calgarians raised their concerns. And just like when we repealed blanket rezoning, the city chose to listen to the people rather than answer to the money. The second piece of bullshit is that Calgary's rules suck compared to everywhere else. In fact, the changes are modest. There's no change on weekends. But on weeknights, concerts now need to wrap up by 1230am. Even with this change, it means that Calgary still allows outdoor music later than anywhere else in North America. The third piece of bullshit is that this was done last minute. This wasn't a last minute change. The big tents knew in February that their exemption was under review. Cowboys was told again in May. Their exemption depended on managing noise, safety, and impacts on nearby residents. They did not meet that standard. But what isn't bullshit is that as your mayor I'm fighting for you. I want you to know that a permit is not a licence to bully a neighbourhood. It is not a profit guarantee. I was elected to stand up for Calgarians, not to take orders from wealthy donors, lobbyists, or politicians protecting their friends. I am more than happy to seek compromise and work with operators who respect Calgarians. But I answer to the nurse on an early shift, the parent getting kids ready for school, and the worker who needs sleep. So no. We are not cancelling Stampede. We are protecting it. Stampede succeeds because Calgarians welcome millions of people into our city. That goodwill matters. A few operators do not get to damage the reputation of an event that belongs to all of us. If you want to do business in Calgary, respect the people who live next door.

🐺: i'm sending encouragement to anyone who's going through a rough patch or feeling lost, these are just periods; when it happens, take a little time to rest and reflect on why you feel this way: "do i need a break, or do i need to switch to something else that i want to do?" we must ask for advice 🐺: actually, it's not like i don't trust my own thoughts or anything like that, but as we keep growing up, we can always listen to other people's thoughts and share ideas with one another. It becomes something for us to reflect on; because at the end of the day, we're the ones who get to choose which path we'll take, what we like, and what we want to do; it's just about seeing new perspectives from others and applying them to our lives // He doesn't know, but i needed these words so much #ZeePruk ♡

Czech President Petr Pavel Petr Pavel about the Russian drone attack on Odesa during his visit: "We had left Odesa by train about 20 minutes before the first explosions were heard. It was not pushed by this incident. We were there in a planned time frame, so it was just a coincidence. But what I take out of it is that one has to be truly cynical when declaring the will to have a peace negotiation or negotiations on a ceasefire and, at the same time, launch a massive attack on civilian infrastructure. It's extremely difficult to deal with such a party. And that's why I believe that we have to clearly point to these events to demonstrate how Russia approaches these talks and with what kind of responsibility. And we have to be very cautious about any potential agreement."

She’s on a British Airways flight and they’re handing out bottled water. She says the tops are difficult to open and has asked the flight attendant to help open them before. This time when she asked, the flight attendant looked at her like she was crazy or a child so, of course, she had to post about it. Who is the Karen here? The flight attendant for not helping or this influencer for posting about it?? 🤔

With yet another water main break on Bowness Road, Calgarians are again asking if we have the infrastructure to support density increases from blanket rezoning. I’ve raised concerns about this before, calling for a full infrastructure review before adding higher density, but the majority of #yyccc rejected that. Now, we’re starting to see the consequences. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about what's going to happen this summer as temperatures rise, when we see an even higher demand. Residents deserve a say in what happens in their communities. Blanket rezoning was pushed through too fast, and trust was broken. At the same time, it's important to remember that there are 98 actions in Calgary's housing strategy and blanket rezoning is just one of them. We would still be making progress in increasing our housing supply if blanket rezoning was never approved. Building trust with Calgarians starts with elected officials listening to communities. Not sidelining them.

Nick Saban - Responsibility as Coaches "Leadership is all about helping someone for their benefit. If you're helping them for your benefit, that's manipulation." "If you just think drawing up plays, running pass patterns, playing defenses, playing Cover 7, Cover 4 and running this blitz or that blitz and that's about winning... It's about getting the players to buy in to the accountability that it takes for them to be successful & for them to be accountable to the other players on the team."

I'd love to tell you actually, but it's not up–it's not a big deal... so obviously it's something that I know about and it's not a problem at all." He almost said "but it's not up to me".

Tony Fadell reveals the difference between Steve Jobs and every other “a**hole” CEO "There are two delineations. Why do I feel this person is an a**hole? Are they motivated by their ego or are they motivated by their mission, something they're trying to do in service of something else?" "Steve against the team going, we need glass instead of plastic on the front face of the iPhone. We're like god, you know. He pushed us because he didn't know all the details but he could see in our minds that we're like yeah, we could probably do it" "When it's ego motivated, you're clear they're just trying to get up in the ranks, push people down, shove people aside. The other one is someone who's so attentive to detail and unrelenting that they're trying to get the right things for the customer or in service of their mission" "It reminds me of kids growing up, when your parents push you to make you grow beyond your boundaries. It's not bullying. It's not about demeaning. It's about either pushing you to another part of the mission that needs to get done or it's about critiquing your work but not judging you"

This may come as a surprise to you (it was for me when I found out), but we can’t legally use FISA authorities to “wiretap” the Mexican drug cartel affiliates or the Chinese companies that make precursors for fentanyl. We are missing an enormous amount of information about supply chains, money laundering, trafficking, and production - all because the law isn’t updated to deal with this new fentanyl problem. So today I offered an amendment to change that. It was very simple, only one sentence. It would simply allow us to apply for warrants to wiretap these cartel organizations operating overseas. It was NOT attached to any other legislation or “poison pills” that would give anyone a reasonable excuse to vote against it. No brainer right? Luckily it passed. It will likely become law. It will help stop these thugs and save American lives. Who would be against that? Well, it turns out about 83 Republicans and 69 Democrats are against collecting intelligence on cartels or their Chinese partners. Ironically, many of these members talk a really tough talk about cartels. They talk about “fighting them.” How do you fight an enemy you can’t even collect intelligence on? But when given a simple choice, they chose NOT to take the first step necessary to actually be “tough” against murderous cartels and their buddies in China. The reasons I got? It “expanded” surveillance. No, it updates the list of FOREIGN targets in FOREIGN lands that we can apply for a warrant to target. Am I surprised? Pissed? Maybe. Definitely disappointed. I’m tired of seeing people up here say one thing and do another. It’s exhausting. They might be against the FISA program (that’s a whole other debate), but against collecting intelligence on cartels? Seriously? They had the chance to vote against the FISA bill (which they did) but still support the amendment to target cartels if they had wanted to. They were separate votes. The amendments always come first. Sorry, but you need to hear this. You need to know the truth about what goes on up here. You need to know that those 83 Republicans aligned with the far-left progressives to try and take down this amendment. I count many of them as friends and partners, even if we don’t always agree. So I was astonished by this result. But it passed. Thank God. I can go home and tell the parents of fentanyl victims that we are fighting for them, and actually taking action. But if you hear the Nay votes talking tough about the cartels, make them explain why they voted to protect El Chapo, Chinese companies making precursors, or money launderers in Mexico. Ask them why they don’t want us to spy on them *even with a warrant.* (yes! This amendment actually just allows us to APPLY for a warrant!!!) I was tempted to list their names here. I won’t. I’m not trying to get you to swarm their offices. But I’m not going to sugarcoat the truth either. You can look up vote records easily by googling “house roll call votes Bill Number: H.

The NDP spent $370,000 on luxury car leases for bureaucrats. Then redacted the makes and models when asked. Luxury cars for senior officials that already make six-figure salaries and work from home. At a time when they're cutting funding for children with autism and forcing British Columbians to tighten their belts, this government should lead by example and scrap these perks. #bcpoli

🇺🇦🇷🇺Ukrainian President Zelensky on Vladimir Putin: We are enemies. I can't trust the person who killed so many people in Ukraine and who began a full-scale invasion against my nation. He attacked all our civilians, infrastructure, people, schools, etc. We answered to them, but not on civilians. Everybody knows about it. I think he understands who I am, and I understand who he is. And that's why I will not trust him. It's not about trust. It's about to decide how to end the war. I'm not sure that our teams can really decide on the question of the land. Of course, it's up to our people in any way. At the end, it's up to our people to accept the peace deal or not. Not up to anybody in the world. It doesn't depend on the strong country or strong leader or not. No, it's up to the Ukrainian people.

🇺🇦🇷🇺Ukrainian President Zelensky on Vladimir Putin: We are enemies. I can't trust the person who killed so many people in Ukraine and who began a full-scale invasion against my nation. He attacked all our civilians, infrastructure, people, schools, etc. We answered to them, but not on civilians. Everybody knows about it. I think he understands who I am, and I understand who he is. And that's why I will not trust him. It's not about trust. It's about to decide how to end the war. I'm not sure that our teams can really decide on the question of the land.

Jay Bilas shares what accountability really means and why most people get it wrong. "People think accountability means blame. It doesn't mean blame." "Accountability means holding yourselves to the standard that you guys deem to be important." Blame looks backward - accountability looks forward. "If it's important, then you'll point out to a teammate when he's not doing the right thing, or when he's not doing it to the best of his ability." "And if one of your teammates points it out to you that, 'Hey, you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing' - you're not gonna say, 'Well, how about you?'" "You're gonna say, 'You're right,' and you're gonna do it...that's what accountability means." Accountability isn't about calling people out. It's about calling people up. It's caring enough to hold each other to the standard. And then being humble enough to receive it. That's what great teams do.

a month ago I spoke about why people were bidding $ASTEROID at $180 million marketcap fast forward to today, the fact that ASTEROID is confirmed to be the mascot of SpaceX, and it's still sub $80 mill marketcap, is truly just insane to me it just goes to show how much the market has changed this coin went to $200 mill based on pure speculation, but now that it's confirmed it's still down 70% FROM ALL TIME HIGH when Elon eventually posts about this, which is what everyone seems to be waiting for, it's going to go to $300 mill or potentially even higher it's just a matter of when he eventually decides to speak on it

Faker: I’m actually not the leader type. I wasn’t the leader type back then either. Like I mentioned earlier, I used to just play games at home, I mostly just played games at home and didn’t enjoy going out or socializing, and becoming a leader was even more not the case for me. Faker: But now I’ve been living as a gamer for almost 13 years, about 13 years as a pro gamer and there are times when it (leadership) becomes necessary in pro life. So once I realized that, I felt that for our team to win, if I want to win, I need to support my teammates and help them perform better. Faker: From there, I started thinking about what it takes to be a leader so I’ve been reading some books about it.... Yes, I’ve read about five or six books related to leadership. I also spent a lot of time thinking about how I could help my teammates improve. Along the way, I acted on these ideas and reflected on them. I learned a lot about what it takes to do even more for my teammates.
