Edmonton police confirmed Saturday that Ward 9 Coun. Gian-Carlo Carra faces a charge of mischief under $5,000 in regards to a road rage incident that took place in Calgary on April 2.

That centred on an incident Carra said he had with a driver who he claimed nearly hit him and his dog Izzy while he was in a crosswalk, leading to a verbal altercation between Carra and the driver.

Edmonton police investigated the incident as Carra was a member of the Calgary Police Commission at the time, a role he has since resigned from."In April of 2022, the Calgary Police Service requested the EPS conduct an impartial and independent investigation into an incident involving Calgary City Councillor Gian-Carlo Carra. The councillor is also a former member of the Calgary Police Commission.

"The matter was assigned to a detective from the Investigative Response Section in Edmonton and a comprehensive investigation followed. The completed investigation was reviewed by the Legal Advisors Section of the EPS and then subsequently reviewed by the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service. "On Dec. 9, 2022, Mr. Carra was criminally charged with mischief under $5,000 relating to the incident that occurred on April 2, 2022.""When we received a complaint about the incident, we reached out to the Edmonton Police Service and requested they lead the investigation. This was done in the interest of transparency and independence, given the fact the situation involved an elected official, who at the time was also serving on the Calgary Police Commission.

"As this was not our investigation, and because it is now before the courts, we are unable to comment further."

Good to see Edmonton and Calgary police finally show up for such a small obvious set up after years of letting thousands of convoy bros run rampant in their cities and doing nothing about it.

And an apology in July for failing to disclose

Pattern of bullying and mendacity just ask women on council (not the mayor as she ‘needs’ him for votes) or any citizen disagreeing with him. Anger mgmt often goes hand in hand with drinking. Bet they didn’t think to give him a breathalyzer mid day. Just sayin as that rage?

Did he get beat up ?

Ahh, the tolerant and accepting left wing shows it’s true colours. Disagree with the left and you’re met with rage.

He needs to resign.

What a great city council

Pretty sure he didn't rage at a 6'4' oil rig roustabout.

Ha! Fantastic!

Unlike Chu, Carra will now have a criminal record. I fully expect yyccc and Gondek to do everything in their power to have him removed as a councillor. Seems fitting, no?

This council is an embarrassing joke

rexglacer Guess where the investigation into the sole Alberta Liberal MP went? Yep… liberal_party

damn, this guy did a speech for my urban studies class at u of c

He should resign. What about lying about real estate investments that he voted to benefit? Due is toxic.

We can be proud of this Duge bag

What?! A social Democrat who loses his temper and can't keep it in check. Color me surprised

😆😆😆

Looking forward to the details.

I’m calling for his immediate resignation. I only do that because if it was you or me he’d do just that. Mean spirited prick he is.

Is anyone surprised?

Good , Carlo is the worst counselor and a real POS he is a criminal and should be dealt with, without mercy

My guess he was mad a car didn't stop so he let it pass very close to enhance his 'danger' justifying kicking the car and then freaking out. Seems like something he would do.

Where is the media outrage that he resign If he was conservative they would be going nuts. CBCCalgary DonBraid

Kool👌 what ever happed to his duplex debacle. Mayor seems pretty quiet. 😂🤣😂

The media should post the videos of Carra raging at community meetings. He is well known by his constituents as a bully. He uses his position to intimidate people. The mayor should remove him from all committees!

Arrest Sean Chu!

So, a ward 9 Counsellor plus a roll on the Calgary Police Commission? yeah, no conflict of interest there. Though the one with the sudden leaked Chu documents to CTV News just got a lot clearer.

Will he take the advice he gave Chu and resign?

strike 2. next he’s out

Now maybe the videos of Carra raging at Community meetings will be made public.

Is there a single person in politics that isn't corrupt? Oh yeah how about Art Pawlowski leader of the Independence party of Alberta. There is only 1 vote in May folks!

Rachael Notley is next

Awesome Let see how many more this kind of person would be like this
