## Resource

Calgary’s mayor and premier are locked in a heated battle over transparency at City Hall, as council members push back against frequent closed-door meetings—accusing them of hiding critical decisions from the public. Premier Danielle Smith insists major debates must happen in open sessions before votes, while councilor Landon Johnston, who leaked a confidential budget hinting at a steep tax hike, is now demanding provincial review of outdated rules that allow too much private policymaking. The province has confirmed it’s reviewing both Johnston’s letter and one from the city council, signaling this isn’t just a local squabble—it’s a growing national conversation about government accountability.
