Summary
Calgary’s city council is rethinking how it asks for federal funding, shifting from a scattergun approach of hundreds of projects worth nearly a billion dollars to a sharper, more strategic focus. Councillor Dan McLean suggests learning from Edmonton’s playbook—zeroing in on one major project at a time to boost approval odds. Mayor Jeromy Farkas backs the idea, spotlighting the Blue Line LRT extension to the airport as a top candidate that aligns with both provincial and federal priorities. This focused strategy could streamline requests and secure critical funding for infrastructure that delivers long-term savings and growth.
