Braid: UCP could stop safe drug supply but they'd rather blame city hall

by · Calgary Herald

Premier Danielle Smith’s government is very clear about who rules the cities.

The UCP does. Every municipal council knows it.

Smith brought in a law prohibiting municipalities from dealing directly with Ottawa. The province can now fire elected councillors and cancel municipal bylaws.

The premier and her ministers halted city hall’s Green Line by withdrawing funding, then took over design of the truncated project.
