this commentary makes sense to me. I'd love to see a list a government projects in this province over the last 5 to 10 yrs and one column of data could have the budgeted price and the second could have the actual and I'd assume that one average the over-run was probably in the 25% range - but that is a WAG.

Perhaps this has been dealt with somewhere else, but does anyone have any insight into how exactly the plebescite will work. If 40% of calgarians vote, and the vote is split 50/50 - then what? what if the vote is 70/30 one way or the other. Or how about 52/48 one way.

how do you deal with the large group that did not vote? do you just ignore them and work with the votes that were cast?
