Looks like buddy is trying to come up with ways to overcome a $1.4B infrastructure budget shortfall.

I'm thinking we need to raise a few more bucks to pay for another civic election and take another vote on whether we want our social media darling mayor around anymore.

Other than staying up for 48 hours during the floods and gay rights marching he is pretty unimpressive.

Well he seems pretty artsy and stuff....likes bike paths and seems to have this vision of turning a prairie city into Copenhagen overnight.

He needs to understand what Calgary is and what it is not.

I love when people refer to another person as "buddy". All those years of education right out the window.

Get ready for 1% 'temporary' sales tax that will never be taken away because they will budget for it. And a 18.50 raise in 'administration' fees from Enmax. So now it will be double the amount to administer the gas to you than to buy the gas in the first place.

First toll roads on Deerfoot, then toll roads on memorial, then toll roads on mcleod. Then toll roads on the cycle track. Toll roads should be illegal and politicians who propose them need to be arrested and charged.

I'm running the mother's day 10k and there's this doofus running back and forth across the road. A bunch of people trying to pass and he cuts off everyone, I finally sneak by when he zigs left and I go right. I look at him like who's this dumb dumb, oh it's the mayor.

He needs to understand what Calgary is and what it is not.
1. In what way is a bike path artsy?
2. What's wrong with art?
3. What is Calgary?
4. What is Calgary not?
5. Have you considered that Calgary might be more than one thing?
