Huh, guess we were all supposed to take something different from that.  |
This is just spin for the cancellation because the City made clear it's intention to pursue the province for the $850M cost of the wind down of the Green Line. The UCP are giving themselves a "out" saying this and they have no intention of funding the thing unless the city falls in line with provincial alignment demands. Dreeshan wants to shift the entire cost of the project cancellation back onto the city. The longer article and quotes seem to align with this. Dreeshen and the UCP MAGA are slime.

With more than $1.3 billion spent on the Green Line to date, the wind-down costs would increase the total price tag to over $2.1 billion, despite not a single kilometre of track being laid.
City officials said they would seek to be “made whole” by the province for those costs, but Dreeshen said he doesn’t see “why Alberta taxpayers should be asked to pay for decade-long mismanagements and decisions” made by past mayors and city councils.
