I have read that train wreck of a website and the general theme is they want the tax and spenders out, and responsible candidates in.
However, I wonder if that reconciles with spending 1.3+ on CalgaryNEXT, or subsidies to rich developers? Probably. As we have seen fiscal hawks sure can twist higher debt as a good thing to help "stimulate the economy".
For example, "The $250 million for a library should be scrapped. It is tax and spend at its finest. Now what we should do is hand it over to the Flames. They bring an intangible amount to the local economy. Like think of all the beer sales and stuff. What has a library done for us? Psssh can't even buy beer there!"
