Do I want better snow clearing for the same amount of money or less money? Yes. Now with this extreme weather is to over-react and for an explosion of city pay rates, contracting and many other things to deal with notarized extremes. Just look at Montreal as a prime example.

Now were dragging Nenshi into this? What does he have to do with anything!?
I'm sorry but a 5-10cm snowfall in Calgary is not extreme. I guess we have to agree to disagree there, but we do get snow here. I'm not suggesting the roads ought to be bare and dry, but to have main roads plowed and ready for people to head home isn't asking for too much.
The city had a snow removal survey completed this summer and the results were great. I think they should redo that now that the empathy gap doesn't exist and get some legit results because I doubt everyone is thrilled with it at this point.
