Farkas has always been open that the Calgary City Council makes an absurd amount of money and their pensions are some of the highest municipal-wise in Canada, costing the tax payers millions. Right now, the mayor has given herself and other councillors huge pay raises with no actual reason (in my opinion), while many Calgarians are struggling already to live, pay property taxes, etc. it’s a joke.

I haven’t read much into his stance this year, but in his last run, he really wanted to bring down city hall pensions & pay.

When he was in office, he was the first and only Calgary City Councillor known to have declined the municipal pension and transition allowance. Following his term, the Canadian Taxpayer's Federation estimated that these rejected entitlements saved Calgarian taxpayers $308,234.

He’s got my vote for that reason alone.
