They might have have to stop whinnying as they'd learn that Calgary has one of the lowest property tax rates among Canadian municipalities. In a descending list of the largest 25 I believe we are in the bottom five, and among the Big 6 we have the second lowest rates (Calgary Economic Development, 2008). We're not starting to be overtaxed but rather starting to be taxed according to our wants and needs.
