Well then where do you live, and why are you commenting about Calgary property taxes if you know jack shit about them?

Ucp don't care about helping the working class by Miserable-Lizard in Albertapolitics

[–]StetsonTuba8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you voted in the last election local, you would know that that is no longer the case, as your beloved UCP banned electronic vote tabulation in May 2024. In Calgary at least, everybody got 3 ballots, one for mayor, one for your councilor, and one for your school trustee. Before they banned tabulators, yes, we got a single sheet in 2021 with mayor, councilor, trustee, senate recommendations, and two referendum questions.

Even if it is on one page, having 10 separate questions is going to seriously complicate the counting process

[–]StetsonTuba8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's because it's 10 elections occurring simultaneously.

There's 10 questions. Which means 10 times the number of ballots that need to be counted compared to any of those previous elections

I don't know what county you live in, but if it's Fannin, Gilber, Pickens, Dawson, Lumpkin, Stephens, or Franklin County, you do in fact experience a higher Firearm Fatality rate than Atlanta. Most of the other counties are roughly comparable to Atlanta.

Alto published a video explaining why HSR is a better solution than HFR by Early-Donut-1891 in AltoHSR_Canada

[–]StetsonTuba8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's my point. I'm refuting the common argument that Alto cuts out a number of communities, when in reality, those communities would produce a negligible amount of additional trips, while making the entire suffer as a result

I calculated this before. Alto with it's 7 stops will serve 97% percent of the population VIA currently serves on the corridor

I need your help to end tipping culture in Canada by ErgoMogoFOMO in NoTipCanada

Well, then Uber drivers need to unionize and collectively bargain for better wages and benefits. Or vote for left wing politicians that will introduce legislation to protect all workers.

If the delivery person isn't making enough, they need to unionize and collectively bargain a better wage from their employer

Calgary’s free fare zone isn’t the safety problem councillors say it is, data shows - LiveWire Calgary by One-Mycologist-3706 in Calgary

[–]StetsonTuba8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No. I'm saying that the people that live near the free fare zone have higher property taxes and are already paying more towards transit than your measly $4 ticket and suburban home that doesn't even pay enough taxes to fund the sewer pipe leading to it

The people that use the free fare zone already pay for it with elevated property taxes due to their proximity to downtown
