The Greenline is a critical infrastructure project for Calgary and Alberta. The Alberta government has been “calling” for people to move to Alberta. The Greenline will help address the transportation issues of our growing population, while providing over 20,000 jobs, addressing traffic congestion and pollution. This project is too important for the citizens of Alberta to let it fail. Join us in calling on the provincial government to put people before politics and be financially responsible with our money. 

In addition, good governance and fiscal responsibility are values held by most Calgarians and Albertans. Allowing the Greenline to die will cost taxpayers $2.1 billion in committed costs, plus estimates of up to $2 billion in legal liabilities. $4 billion of taxpayer money for no return on our investment. Letting the Greenline die will also mean turning away from $1.5 billion of Federal investment in our city, province, and $1.5 billion in investment in our city by our province. A total loss of $7 billion dollars for our city is a price that is too high for anyone in political leadership to accept. 

We are calling on all levels of government to find a solution to make the Greenline work in a way that is fiscally responsible and exercises good governance and serves the citizens of Calgary and Alberta
