Edmonton Must Get Back To Basics
What is the job of a municipal government?
Many Edmontonians are asking this very question.
Recent debacles with electric buses, bike lanes, and Councillor raises put core services into the spotlight.
People are questioning just what the City is doing with our tax dollars.
Despite rising property taxes, complaints about services like snow removal, pothole repairs, basic maintenance, and infrastructure persist.
Clearly, there is an urgent need for a shift in priorities at City Hall.
Since the inception of Common Sense Edmonton, we’ve been screaming from the rooftops for a return to prioritizing core services.
It's time for City Hall to listen.
Edmontonians deserve reliable, efficient, and uninterrupted access to essential services that support their daily lives.
Prioritizing the maintenance and improvement of core infrastructure and services, such as water, sanitation, and roads, is the essential job of City Hall.
In fact, it should be the only job of City Hall.
Core services form the backbone of a functional and thriving city.
We must end non-essential projects that don’t directly benefit the majority of residents.
Our resources should be allocated where they are needed most, ensuring every dollar spent makes a real difference in our community.
Residents deserve to know their taxes are being used effectively and responsibly, with a clear focus on only the necessities.
No more chaos.
No more pet projects.
No more misplaced priorities.
It’s time for City Hall to get back to basics.
Join us in demanding City Hall accept that Edmonton Must Get Back To Basics.

P.S. I take transit to work 5 days/week and the buses just keep getting later and later. What is the point of having a posted schedule if you never keep it????
