Transcribe →Senate Shake-Up Under Carney | Calgary News
4d ago00:01:44Tap to summarizePrime Minister Carney’s new Senate advisory board sparks debate as it hints at a partisan reshuffle—aimed at boosting Conservative representation after their numbers plummeted from over fifty to just twelve. While government senator Pierre Moreau insists the PM retains final appointment power and shuts down rumors of a Liberal caucus revival, he argues the Senate must mirror the Commons, especially with Conservatives holding over forty percent of the vote. Appointing figures like former MP Richard Martel—initially as an Independent—could signal a new era of political alignment. But critics warn this risks eroding Senate independence, while others see it as a natural evolution of tradition. The outcome remains uncertain as the Senate braces for a hybrid future.

4d ago00:01:49Tap to summarizeCalgary’s city council is poised to shake up its long-standing tradition of seating the Chief Administrative Officer right beside the mayor — a setup that’s been in place for nearly 40 years.

With the current CAO leaving in December 2026, the council is also considering how visual leadership dynamics might evolve — including potential future expansions of the council chamber to accommodate more councillors. The goal? To ensure the city’s administrative leadership reflects its evolving priorities and public expectations.
