Well there's this, but there's also the urban sprawl problem. Since Calgary has a ridiculous amount of urban sprawl, the cost of infrastructure automatically goes up because you have to build further out (always costs more to build out than up). So if you wanna blame anyone for that, blame people who want to live in the suburbs. Until that changes, you can't maximize efficiency.
