I will have to look into it more. I have it engrained in my mind that if the City raises property tax by 10%, then only 5% goes to the City.
I don't know if school taxes are the same in both cities.

That second part is definitely not true. If Calgary raises taxes by 6%, for example, that's municipal only. It has nothing to do with school taxes, which are set by the province, which tells the municipalities what they are and they just get added onto the tax bill (but are separately shown as school taxes).
