With inflation soaring and population booming, the city’s expenses are outpacing revenue — made worse by rising property taxes from the province. Critical services like emergency medical response and low-income transit passes are now city-funded, with the province contributing only a fraction. This isn’t unique to Calgary — Alberta’s municipalities are collectively feeling the squeeze as higher-level governments make decisions that drain revenue and limit local income options, leaving cities stuck with outdated property tax models while residents expect their money to fund essential infrastructure.
