Yet my services are exactly the same, or worse, than before. Many city staff enjoy two or more pension payments. Nenshi is the highest paid mayor in all of Canada.

This isn’t true for operations.
Operational spending has been held at pop growth plus inflation so you would expect services to remain relatively constant. (All numbers posted in the municipal election thread). Where we have seen tax increases is from the Capital Spending side.
So it isn’t a question of if services have improved or gotten worse. It’s was the West LRT, Green Line, Library, etc worse the tax increases to fund them.
