Summary
Councilman Landon Johnston leaked a preliminary budget showing Calgarians could face a 20% property tax jump in 2027, sparking a firestorm over transparency vs. confidentiality. While Johnston defended the leak as necessary to break council’s secrecy, Mayor Farkas called it a “wish list” and stressed the figures are unapproved. Other council members echoed Farkas, urging restraint and even calling for a code of conduct. The full budget won’t be released until November 10 — but the debate is already heating up, forcing tough questions about fiscal responsibility and public trust.
