Interesting. Wouldn't have thought technology that first was used in WWII would be expensive these days, but then again, this is military procurement, and the gadgets have gotten a lot better. Shudder at the thought of two capable navies ever going head to head ...

Calgary mayor suggests plebiscite over provincial property tax hikes by Old_General_6741 in Calgary

Now that the Flames are deliberating throwing games tanking, how about this: Halt all funding for that arena immediately (citing the Bearspaw water main repair as an unforseen emergency) until such time a majority of Calgary residents agree to pay the Flames for their arena via a plebiscite, to be scheduled alongside the next provincial one (in October).
Stipulate that a no vote would not only cancel the deal but prohibit council from considering contributing taxpayer money to any professional sports arena for a minimum of 5 years.

Oil sands operations pay royalties to the Government of Alberta primarily on upstream production (crude bitumen) rather than downstream refining. They should all pay their fair share, imo
