This is a vanity project for a very vain man in my opinion. My opinion may be wrong, but let tax payers decide where our money is going, especially when it will be something that costs us for the rest of our lives.

So you don't feel our democratically elected representatives can be trusted as a whole to make a choice for Calgary, even though they were recently elected to make choices for their constituents? What's your line on when they should get the public to vote on something outside of the general elections held every four years?

This is seriously the most tired opinion of the 2010s, in my opinion. You want something I don't, so clearly you're a dirty renter who doesn't pay taxes? Should I send you a picture of my taxes to confirm my eligibility to have an opinion on these matters?
