OH, and it is worth noting that for parking lots on the edge of the city a very high percentage of people parking there super early in the morning are NOT Calgarians. They are the leeches that live in Cochrane, Airdrie, LAngdon, Okotokes, etc that do not pay a penny in property taxes yet use Calgary's roads, transit, snow clearing, road maintenance, PARKING spaces, etc.

If you want to be mad be mad at them. The city talked about setting up toll booths entering into the city and no one supported that idea either.

This stuff isn't free. We already have lower taxes (income taxes and property taxes) than most anyone in Canada -- despite the complaining I hear (or perhaps BECAUSE of the complaining? lol).
