Here's what fall's federal budget is promising for Albertans

Here's a look at what's in the federal budget for Alberta, starting with some major provincial undertakings. The budget reaffirms Ottawa's pledge to accelerate three key projects, a high-speed railway between Calgary and Edmonton, the Pacific Link pipeline to the B.C. coast, and Pathways Plus, a large-scale carbon capture and storage program. Another priority for Ottawa, making more water bombers in Canada. To that end, the budget confirms a pledge made earlier this week. As much as $2.5 billion in financing for De Havilland, the budget says the money will support thousands of jobs in Wheatland County, where the company is located. The Wainwright tragedy is also in the new budget. The government is pledging $25 million to support the affected members, their families and local communities. Another $3 million will support the Wainwright Military Family Resource Center. Here in Calgary, Ottawa is promising to support the expansion of the Silver Springs Community Center. That didn't impress Calgary's mayor, who called the budget laughable. To see the only mention of the city of Calgary whatsoever to be maybe a million or two million dollar project, an expansion to an already existing community association facility, quite disappointed, especially when we consider that we're facing a near 50 billion dollar infrastructure deficit over the next 10 years. Farkas said the other pressing issue for the city is tariff relief. He said if Calgary has to absorb those costs, it may need to increase property taxes by 20%. Terry Trembath, CBC News, Calgary.
