Sorry, point out to me on a map where the Legislature is? Or where the department of Energy & Minerals or Environment & Protected Areas are? Yes, the AER is an provincial agency that administers and regulates Energy & Environmental policy in Alberta, but they aren't the ones directly responsible...

I certainly don't work for Edmonton Global, and I speak solely on behalf of my own opinions. As I assume you do as well. Like all of us Albertans (nevermind Edmontonians) we have heard the "we need to diversify the economy!" schtick about a million times but almost never with any sort of actual...

I disagree. Blindly stating this is an opportunity to expand and diversify employment here means nothing and accomplishes nothing without actual reasoning and substance, and how do you achieve that without understanding the current situation of why things are? Edmonton Global giving a fancy...

Yep and there is a significant lack of anyone with experience in a leadership role in the private sector (aside from maybe Cartmell). Not to say that's a requirement for a good councillor, but the best councils will have a variety of backgrounds and individuals rather than nearly all of them...

Because geographic proximity is operational assets is only a small piece to the puzzle unfortunately. Clustering with like similar industry firms takes far priority. Look at IOL. They have a massive refinery in Edmonton, a large conventional oil play in Cold Lake, and then their monster Kearl...

They used flawed methodology to be controversial for clicks. Kind of sick of seeing it posted all over.

Anyone know what AHS plans to do with the space the U of A previously was leasing for the John Scott Library? The U of A vacated that space this past summer as the Sperber Library was ready to move into.

Very interested as well. I would suspect there will be Dow engineering/design teams working out of Fluor's new sublease office in ATB so if there ever was a time to make a push for greater office expansion into Edmonton, now is the time. Question is: what advantages can Edmonton offer here over...

Get Tony on the horn and ask him how long till the new space is open 👍🏼👍🏼

Lol.

Hey all, Putting it out there to see if there might be interest in a third SRC Edmonton meetup for sometime in the new year. The last two meetups were a lot of fun and it's been great putting a face to the name of who you're arguing with online 😜 I was thinking this time around given some of...

I disagree… the opinion of Edmonton in rural areas (whether central, north, wherever) generally is “socialist ****hole”followed by distasteful comments about our supposed far left mayor, city council, NDP MLAs, etc. Yes they come here for Oil games and WEM but mostly it’s followed by comments...

Nice expansion from IBI out of the Intact building.

Agreed. Say what you want about Calgary but at the end of the day we're all Albertans and these string of investments are good for the overall economic health of the province that benefits everyone. Fort Sask is really becoming one hell of an industrial hub. DOW's release also mentioning that...

$6.5 bln project, nottabigdeal. "Dow selected the Fort Saskatchewan site for this investment as Western Canada offers highly cost-competitive natural gas relative to other regions, as well as cost-advantaged ethane, a key feedstock for ethylene production. At full run-rates, the site is...

All good! Like I said... unpopular opinion lol I lived in Virginia Park for over 20 years, the dollar store did OK for the first maybe 8-10 years but at some point changed to a different brand that was far more about cheesy gifts and even worse-than-normal dollar store junk that failed pretty...

I have heard that the Stollery has done very well in pediatric cardiology due to basically being roommates with the Maz. Lots of ability to share and collaborate on very complex cases. But as I noted in the other thread, even with a well developed inhouse knowledge and programming, a standalone...

Middle class folks do shop at dollar stores and the overlap between product offerings at Save-On and a Dollarama are far from being a singular circle on a Venn Diagram. Especially with the recent inflationary pressures on food prices (esp. at Save-On, my lord) and even rent/mortgage rates. Yes...

I don't think it's received a singular renovation that wasn't required maintenance or updating the signage since it opened circa 2002 but it's still not a bad spot. Probably an unpopular opinion and I don't think there is really the right place for one where they'd receive the right traffic...

And that's nothing you can blame on Edmonton. The province had the purse strings tight as a duck's ass. "What went wrong? The short answer is money. The city only has nominal control over its long-range transport plans, because three-quarters of the costs are paid for by the province. In...
