This quote from the article is questionable to me. Let's say the city finds a way to spend this $87bn and take the actions they're putting forward here.
How do we even know that those actions taken by Calgary are going to save us from all of the issues they're looking to address here?

“We know that the cost of inaction is actually a lot of upfront costs and a lot of costs to Calgarians through climate change events, through major storms and forest fires. We also have to talk about the impact to the cost of living,” said Penner. “How do we invest to save, and not just to save money but to save lives and livelihoods?”
