I just skimmed over this, but it is actually fascinating. The math on it is wildly interesting, too

Why are you ranting about this, when the issue wasn't vandalism, but weather/quality control related and is being rectified under warranty.

I would also wager that there's a difference regarding the risk perception for developers and property managers. If they have a reasonably high expectation that they'll be able to sell/lease these high rises quickly and start making money sooner rather than later, even at a reduced margin...

Our entire defensive system is horrible, across the lineup. There's no forechecking, no backchecking, passing lanes are left open all the time, but worst of all is there is no sense of urgency on defensive play by 90% of the roster. I honestly blame it on losing Paul Coffey and the changes made...

The lack of skilled tradesmen amongst immigrants, especially those from developing countries, stems from the fact that culturally, trades (or any kind of manual labour) tends to be very undervalued in these countries, unlike North America or Europe. It would be interesting if the government...

My issue with how the thread's discussions transpired is that a lot of the comments sounded very directed personally to him, which was unpleasant to read. I'm not happy with what is being proposed either. And a few good ideas for temporary uses were suggested, which I think is perfectly good...

Or "IanO's stoning session 101" I read all of the last week or so of posts and damn y'all dunked on him, which I don't think is very nice or fair.

He's not wrong in retail hubs being a good think for suburban neighbourhoods. While the majority of us here love condos or townhomes, a lot of people also want to have single family homes. If we can improve walkability and amenities in suburban neighbourhoods, we should do so, as it has a chain...

This has a lot to do with North American car centric culture. And sometimes we all yearn and hype up for what we don't have, which is wild. In Brazil, for example, where most cities are denser and more vibrant, with lots of mid-rise with retail covering the streets of downtowns and other...

the block, in this case, is the rectangle formed by Jasper Ave, 109 St, 102 Ave and 108 St. Just west of it you have a block that's formed by Jasper Ave, 108st, 102 ave and 107 st*, and so on...

I am shocked there's some green in January

T Took me a few seconds to process that this is Edmonton. Looks so dense and modern in this photo!

E Each to their own. I'll avoid using or carrying cash as much as possible. I don't remember the last time I had any cash other than the $0.25 and $1 coins I carry in the car for use on shopping carts.

I can reach out to some people who worked on this with me and check, but I believe it took a bit of a hit from the whole trade war situation. Might not be completely shelved, but I would unfortunately expect either something smaller or something safer (SEC or Southgate come to mind).

Kenney is a pragmatic technocrat, and a populist with poor management skills and some questionable policies, and I didn't like him as Premier, but he's never shown anti democratic tendencies (see his criticism of Smith's Sovereign Act during the 2022 leadership race, for example) or supported...
