Guidebook 2: Electric Boogaloo
During the debate on the Guidebook last month, Mayor Nenshi accused us of "misinformation" when we said that the Guidebook was a statutory document.
While this isn't the first time we've been falsely accused of misinformation, it's certainly remarkable how quickly we were proven correct this time.

Guidebook Debate Update
Public Submissions and debate on Calgary's "Guidebook for Great Communities" has just got underway for the second day at City Hall.
For anyone who hasn't been following the Guidebook issue before this week - and we don't blame you! - the Guidebook is the City's latest attempt to master-plan the City from the top down.
To be clear, there are actually some positive changes in the 130+ page Guidebook, where the City will allow for more competition, choice, and markets in certain areas.
But overall, the Guidebook is more about just implementing a different type of ideological central-planning, rather than any kind of move away from central-planning.
