Sorry to hear that Chad. Your love for this city all these years has been contagious and your photos and updates much appreciated. I share your fear of the same scenario, but it’s only one possibility. Trump could keel over between now and a potential referendum.

The UcP and their separatist base are the only thing threatening Alberta’s prosperity. Tell me, who built the only pipeline to tidewater again?

I don’t fear them getting enough votes as much as Trump declaring it rigged and ‘rescuing us’ a la Putin in Ukraine. But a lot of things can happen between now and a vote. Trump might not even be around when and if it happens. I’m so happy a political leader finally called this movement out for...

Particularly with American interference at an all time high and a belligerent POTUS who wants to invade us for oil.

We pay more per capita because we are the wealthiest province. Equalization payments aren't some hidden tax directed at AB exclusively. They are distributed from income taxes. The conservative narrative that poisons every discussion about this topic is based on nothing but decades of mythical...

Where is that?

Problem is since the UCP decided to divert surgeries to these clinics the overall wait time has increased for anyone in the public stream as evidenced by the lower amount of hip replacements that have occurred since the change. Private facilities just poach doctors and nurses and...

I'm already seeing ai slop disinformation youtube videos posted by some not so bright relatives on FB about separation.

That corner looks so foreign now.

Let me guess, another UCP donor's private charter surgical facility? And located next to the Esso gas station off 24th just far enough from both Greenline train stations to not be easily accessible by transit. This pisses me off. They should do an expansion of the SHC before this.

It is insane that the UCP hasn’t lost more support. With recent threats from the US and the impending separatist petition / referendum I hope more people pull their heads out of their unthinking asses and turn out to get rid of Smith once and for all.

Quite nice looking. I will miss the crystalline staircase art though. It was retro and nostalgic and awesome.

It is starting to feel more urban. Even without perfect materials the form feels proper and the intersection is shaping up nicely. I’m actually happy that they scrapped the food hall for the proposed mixed use tower to finish off that intersection. I can’t think of too many places in the city...

Seton Market Street update:

That version still looked better. The weird awnings are throwing me with the new version. I can’t tell what material they will be. I fear they’ll be fabric and end up filthy and tattered.
