The transient population doesn't care about the city. They want their money and then they will leave. I'm glad that the tide appears to be turning somewhat with projects like the Peace Bridge, East Village, BOW tower, new library, and music center. The crying that surrounds these projects though is disheartening. Time to regain our swagger and aim high.

Don't confuse lack of support for CalgaryNEXT with lack of support for grand city-defining projects. Personally, I would love to see something of high-calibre that aims to be way better than what a mid-size Canadian city should expect.
The problem is that CalgaryNEXT is not that.
