I am thinking they are using the funny numbers to compare a 500k home in Calgary to say like Winnipeg where the house in Winnipeg would likely be twice as nice but the price is the same.

We may have among the lowest residential property tax bills, but residential property taxes alone aren't a good comparison because every city structures fees differently. In CGY for example we charge a property tax and a seperate business tax which is pretty rare. Its good optics for homeowners though.
There's a basket of things usually provided by the city that we sit middle of the roadish on. We're probably going to be bottom of the barrel-ish after this year.
