I wonder if there's been any serious consideration to adding more Councilors?

It would be a tough sell because they're not cheap, and each one has a support staff too, but it's weird that Calgary has had the same number of City Councilors since 1976. The city's population has nearly tripled since then.

In that same time, both Provincially and Federally, the number of ridings in Calgary has doubled.
