Calgary's been a lazy town this way for as long as I've been voting.

Bronco is the new wrinkle though. Council has always been a yearbook club all grown up, but at least there was some give and take. Bronco crushes opposition. Remember too, that the entire management strucure at city hall was overhauled to make it more business-like just before Bronco took office. He turfed the CEO and others and went back to a subservient, micormanaging model. Maybe some of those folks were not suitable, I really don't know, but the model should never have gone back, and you can bet everyone new is friendly to mayor dave.

People are just starting to see it.
