I'm not the politician here, so I really couldn't give a damn if I'm making a beer and popcorn reference - I'm stating we don't know all the facts, so why jump to conclusions? I'm not the one being hasty here.
You elect your officials to office, with many...MANY avenues of communication open to you. Council priorities were set by the concerns of Calgarians, which in turn was the basis for each three-year budget. How you can argue that the City doesn't listen is beyond me.
What do you want them to do - take you out for dinner, pass all your suggestions on as bills, and follow up three times a week?
Your expectations are bizarre. You keep keep saying the City doesn't listen, but then you still haven't stated whether you've voted, whether you've tried to voice your opinion...Nothing.
Your angle is seriously flawed IMO; like a kid who wants attention but refuses to say a word.
BTW, the City has said "no" to far more project proposals than they have said yes. If the City wasn't listening to the voices of Calgarians, the hike would be A LOT higher.
