As for the $100 per year; it was an approximation of there being 500,000 households in Calgary splitting a $50M budget.
In any case; a city like Winnipeg spends way more than Calgary because they have to; the snow will not "just melt" like it does here. And if it gets left behind it just accumulates. My point remains; if people want extra services like they get in other cities are they also willing to pay for those sevices?
