I'm loathe to quote a Rick Bell article, but Ididn't mind this one.
Some interesting comments from the Boss of Plowing in Calgary (aka Mr Plow)
Quote:
He says only about one-in-four Calgarians would pay more in taxes.
The discussion turns to comparing levels of snow service to cuts of meat.
"Perhaps the silent majority ordered hamburger and is willing to take hamburger."
So we have ourselves a stalemate. Who wants to pay what and where do we get it.

I'd be willing to bet 50% of people don't want to pay more taxes but think the City has fat in it's budget somewhere to pay for more snow removal.
Ask the Citizens to pay more taxes for plowing and watch them scurry like roaches in the light....
