## Resource

Calgary councilor Landon Johnston leaked confidential budget docs, claiming it was for public good—and now wants the province to audit city’s secret meetings. After a special mayor’s meeting debated whether to bar him from future private sessions (a move legally off-limits), Premier Danielle Smith jumped in, calling closed-door city council meetings “a bad habit.” She argues transparency should be total—like provincial politics—suggesting pre-briefs instead of secrecy, so decisions are made openly, not behind closed doors.
