Something I would like too see addressed is how efficient does are city operate. I am involved in snow clearing and it seems too me that I am doing pretty much 3 times the amount compared too the city for less cost.
Also…this interesting point…..what happens if we ever get really high interest rates. If will break most homeowners, like in Calgary in the 80′s. Real estate would collapse and the cities budget will be in tough spot. Thanks.

Re: Interest Rates
Yup, Tim, it has been suggested that Harper (and probably to a lesser extent Brad Wall, even though Brad may think more like Harper than Harper) is helping to suppress interest rates to appeal to property owners. This strategy can work for a while, but the market has a way of catching up and then rebounding after an artificial manipulation like that. Think of the recent events in USA as an example, and then ask yourself: “Do we need that here?” I, for one, think not. Just because things were done one way in the USA does not necessarily mean they should be done the same way here.
