Nakiska and Crowsnest have some potential, but both suffer from low snowfall. Hopefully developers look at locations like the Spray Valley that do get the snow. I'm unsure where else in the province has the resiliency to support ski resorts, but the market is there given that Pacific coast and...

This could be an opportunity to export to BC now that it is a net importer and has more or less built out hydro. I fear the push will be for a line through the Peace Country which would be very long and exposed to significant line loss to loop down to load centers in Edmonton and Calgary. Maybe...

Much like the parking lots in Eau Claire, proposals for this site have historically been leading indicators of a recession.

The Feds are also going to have to revisit and raise the Banff development cap.

I wonder if any of the resort proposals from the 60s through 80s could be viable. I'm thinking Assiniboia/Tent Ridge/Mt Shark in the Spray Valley and Cline River near Lake Abraham. Alberta has a huge opportunity to capture market share from BC and the US

Retrofitting the CTrain with fare gates would be virtually impossible. A far easier solution would be security actually doing something about open drug use. I keep using Dallas as an example. The cops there have zero tolerance for open drug use and will confiscate drugs and force users to smash...

University District is also leased land

Radical idea... Close University Ave access from Crowchikd, eliminate the ramps between 16th and University, build interchange at 24th and Crowchikd, convert University to a narrow local road and redevelop the entire site.

Where will the Fent Benders go if the Circle K closes?

Population decline is a good trend. Canada needs to dramatically increase its productivity and fewer people should translate into more private sector capital investment and less overall investment in low productivity segments like government services and housing. Toronto and Vancouver likely...

I had school friends that lived in the trailer park. I went to St Catherines elementary when it was the most southerly elementary in the city so it had a large catchment area.

I grew up mostly in Canyon Meadows. The massive berm on the east side was to satisfy Bonavista NIMBYs. It went up Sep-Oct 1987. The original plan had a direct road connection into Bonavista that was also blocked by NIMBYs. Avendia was originally an upscale, Spanish themed mall targeted at...

Where are these being built? I'd be more worried about FX fluctations than tarrifs

Susprised at the number of 5 on 1's still being proposed given the sorry state of the apartment condo and purpose built rental markets. I guess these types of proposals will be the last ones standing as they are more cost effective than anything else.
