I really don't see how anyone can be against this. This is an innovative idea to fund badly needed upgrades to infrastructure.

I voted for Nenshi to cut spending and to improve fiscal efficiency, not to increase taxes. For the size of Calgary, implementing a 1% tax will cost us a lot of money per capita. Yeah, you might not notice the difference but 1% on after tax spending is more than 1%.
Also, who's to say the 1% will stay at 1%? If Nenshi can't reign in the spending, I'll vote for someone who could next time.
