Comment on Cities, Taxes and Transfers by Andrew

Thanks the comment Bill. I always thought it was funny that in the numerous condemnations of the Peace Bridge, I heard very few mentions of the fact that it was paid for using provincial funding.

Personally, I'd like to see the province hand over some of their taxation powers directly to cities to give city councils more flexibility to directly fund what infrastructure projects are needed and cut down on the redundancy and waste inherent in transfer systems.

Interesting Andrew that you are able to tie the city politicians' bad decision to build the $25Mln “bridge-to -nowhere-useful” to the provincial granting system. On the hustings in Calgary-SE, I'm finding that when we suggest that more tax points are transferred to the municipalities, the people often get nervous that it will be eaten up on more bureaucracy; over-generous wage/benefit deals; or lower priority pet projects like Bronco's west LRT. It will be interesting to watch how Mayor Nenshi stick handles these issues over the next year to regain citizens' confidence in their city council & administration.

Iceland’s de facto bankruptcy—its currency (the krona) is kaput, its debt is 850 percent of G.D.P., its people are hoarding food and cash and blowing up their new Range Rovers for the insurance

Naheed Nenshi is the only candidate in the final three wanting to be the mayor of calgary with a University degree.. Rick thinks grade 12 is enough academic traing for mayor and Barb thinks a two year technical diploma is sufficient. Naheed is a harvard graduate with a business degree background. What does common sense tell the electorate?
