4. Halt the Green Line, Arena and Calgary Municipal Land Corporation's expanding and renovation projects.Why?
   • Green Line

   (1) No one needs to claim Pro-LRT because no one can be Anti-LRT

   (2) Green Line 1st stage false allegations

   i) 65k Ridership? 15k

   ii) 30k tons of GGE saved? Not from other than buses

   iii) $5.5b cost? $7.65b

   iv) Total cost? $13b

   v) Connect to airport? Never

   vi) 20,000 jobs? 70% to Europe for tunnel

   

   • Arena

   (1) There's no room for any fair deal of the Arena. The regressive nature of Property Tax deemed a bail out by the City contrary to the principle of fairness of our system.

   (2) Should the law leave room, I will abolish this Arena Deal and the likes

   

5. Lower crime rate, restore Police Pride. Hold up 10% CPS budget and bind it with crime rate reversely, push for community policing.More
