We can either stagnate into oblivion like the Alberta province has in the last 30 years or revitalize our city - which takes money.  Can't build transit and new subdivisions (city pays for utilities and puts in roads, eventually provides transportation to new areas) on acorns falling from a tree.  Saskatchewan has better maintained highways than we have in Alberta.  We are now the province of have-nots because of stagnation to infrastructure - happened when the money was rolling in from oil!!!!!
