I think there are a number of fundamental problems with the AGA. The building itself is more than 8,000 square meters but has less than 3,000 square metres of actual gallery spaces that are quite disjointed. While this is an increase from what was in the previous gallery, the relationship...

Sooo... Demetrios Nicolaides sent a letter to "Alberta Parents". Ignoring how he managed to get a list of Alberta Parents in order to send them such an obviously partisan political message, the contents of that message are particularly disturbing. "This is a special season to celebrate the...

^ Wait, what? “…new cross-river vehicle conveyances in terms of new high level bridges -- one connecting 109th Street in a straight-as-an-arrow path between north side 109 and south side 109, and another in a direct route aligned with 99th Street from a site west of the Convention Centre (this...

^ aw c'mon Ted. I've spent my career dreaming of things that could be done and doing my best at seeing as many of them as possible come to fruition. If you don't mind my blowing my own horn in response to your insult, my success ratio is actually pretty good even though there were many who...

Not to throw water on anyone's dreaming but... The low level bridge tandem handles more than 40,000 vehicles a day with slightly more northbound than southbound and those numbers are expected to grow. The northbound tandem is expected to be done next year and the year after that we can...

While I would agree that the byelection "should go" Liberal, our history of cutting our noses off to spite our faces (both federally and provincially) has me wonder if "probably go" might be a touch too optimistic.

Agreed although $2.6 million for Skinner vs $1 million for Pickard vs Jarry;s $5.375 million. Probably also the reason for moving Kulak at $2.750 million and bringing in Stastny at $825k. I think the fact that Jarry's contract still has term while both Skinner and Kulak's contracts are up at...

Vancouver's tax does not grant an exemption for an "ex" principal residence. Once it has been vacant for 180 days, the tax "kicks in" even if the property is listed for sale regardlss of whether it was a principal residence or a rental. Once sold, the tax won't apply to the purchaser as of the...

^ True enough... the party has continued on a disappointing path (speaking as a "traditional" PC supporter who has been politically homeless provincially and federally for some time) that started the day they allowed Smith and her Wild Rose Party to cross the floor en masse. It's one thing to...

^ While it's probably not a surprise to see Jarry coming this way, it was initially a surprise to see Skinner going the other way. Having said that, after the initial surprise wore off, it looks like a vote of confidence in Ingram and the other young goalies in the system (deservedly so by all...

Whoever thought that increasing the size and height of the column plinths would create a better pedestrian (or vehicular for that matter) relationship with the gate and the adjacent buildings is probably the same person that thought those f'ing huge street lamp bases would be a good addition to...

It think it's more than young people voting with their feet. I think what you're seeing is the impact of vacancy taxes in metro Vancouver and metro Toronto "working their way through the system". Not only are the reporting requirements (in some cases to three levels of government and to your...

I'm not sure that it's shoddy work per se. It is, however, absolutely sh!tty design all around. What they've done is compromise a quarter billion dollar or so building undergoing a $45 million dollar plus renovation by being too cheap to do the signage right. There was/is no real need to...

Not happening unless IanO says so (without revealing a source) or posts a picture. :)

Giving a not-so-new meaning to the phrase “Bouch Bomb”… :(
