Then blame the leadership and not the citizens....that's the real answer.
Some of the nonsense on here is amazing.
"hey the guys on the radio disagreed with what i wanted for reasons i hate, so i am never listening to them again or buying products from their advertisers"!!
As petty as it gets and truly juvenile.
Calgarians did not reject anything more than a really bad plan that was even more poorly presented.
