Stupid Money Wasting Ideas of Calgary

These days if you drive around the City of Calgary you'll see fancy things that you can't see in any major city almost anywhere else. Bus stops are now confined with glass walls and some of them have electrical heaters, framed painting(!) and florescent light! At some of them you can also see an electronic board which constantly advertises products and services. I don't know if it also shows the route schedule or not because I don't use public transport. I just drive by.

This, in every which way, is nothing but wasting the public funds and wasting the city's budget. How many people on average use these but stops every day? Everyone tends to drive because while the traffic could at times be bad, it's much better than bus and train that you have to ride them with every nutcase, hobo, drunkard and drug addict. I remember The Mumbling Guy who lives in deep south city and worked, at the time, in Downtown, used to ride the train and bus. He then bought a used vehicle and drives ever since. in 2016 more than 1,000,000 vehicle were registered in the City of Calgary. Considering that majority of them are on the road on average 3 times a week, what does this tell you? That much investment in public transport is just stupid! And who wastes all these money on the nonsense? A guy (I heard he's gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that) named Nenshi!

If you go deep, you might wonder why a guy (could be gay) who claims to be Muslim became the mayor or a major city in Canada?! Isn't that for the favor of some people? This fella officially is an Ismaili, a sect of Islam which has strong ties to the current and a some of the former Canadian officials, to name this scandalous guy, Justin Trudeau and his father. J. Trudeau spent time in the Ismaili leader's private island a few years ago and became the center of attention. The Ethics Committee went after him but I guess he got away. So with all strong concealed connections and relationships, you can probably see why Nenshi is the mayor and how he is free to spend as much money as he wants and wherever he wants.

One of the other failures of the municipality is the new program of Organic Waste Disposal. Businesses throughout the city have received a green wheeled cart and they're supposed to through their organic waste in it. Items such as coffee, vegetable and fruit skin, stone or similar and generally everything that could be turned to compost. Does anyone care? No! So this guy comes, I guess once a week, and replaced almost empty cart with a completely empty cart(!) while lots of organic garbage is seen in trash cans. There's no doubt the main purpose of programs such as these is simply just to show that the municipality works, create jobs (mostly for their friends, relatives, family members and people of their own community) and also justifying the budget so they can receive it again next year and more!
Shame on the disgusting money-wasters?
