I only got about 1/2 way through of the most recent ones but I was bouyed by the fact that it seemed to be about 50/50 pro and against. I do find it interesting that the City makes that much money of off a dozen parking spots and that was the main thrust of the story. Calgary really is all about the money apparently.
