The Wildrose plan is to give the same amount of money (or a bit more) but eliminate the conditions. The plan is to provide consistent, stable, and predictable funding to the cities.
It seems like you are concerned that Nenshi will decide that C-Trains aren't as important as say bridges and will therefore redirect funding towards bridges, but the people of Calgary voted for their local government and I think that the local government is better positioned to decide funding priorities than say an MLA from Peace River.
One of the key Wildrose beliefs is that decisions should be made closer to where the people are and should not be centralized decisions if possible. By giving the money directly to the municipalities they are allowing the spending decisions to be made at that level.
