But I have little to no faith in how the city is currently run with willy nilly spending, bad ideas, and a council that doesn't listen to the public at all.

"Willy nilly spending"
How much did this event cost Calgary taxpayers? I'm guessing not very much (if anything).
"bad ideas"
That's your opinion. If this thread is any indication, the Bow River Flow event was a polarizing issue, with people have strong feelings on both sides. You might consider it a bad idea, but many others enjoyed it.
"council that doesn't listen to the public at all"
How do you know that a majority of the people living in Druh Farrell's ward,
those who are most directly affected by this were opposed to the Memorial closure? For all we know, she was acutely listening to the will of her constituents who wanted to see this event happen. It seems to me that the people who are complaining the loudest don't even live in the area and probably wouldn't even use Memorial on a lazy summer Sunday afternoon anyway.
