Thank god it isn't up to you The possibilities would be would be endless with another 4 years of Sohi or think just how much we could achieve on cleanliness and crime with another career bureaucrat in Salvador...

I have been openly critical on this forum of EG over the past several years for their (lack of) performance and key wins attracting investment to the region and to downtown. By my count since their 2017 inception, EG can be directly tied to 3 public wins - 1. Polykar (2019), 2. Air Products...

Precisely the point of my tongue in cheek comment. Edmonton does well industrially and so does Calgary. But Calgary does well at a lot more areas of investment and development, while Edmonton does not. Hanging our hat on being the industrial investment area of the province is certainly not...

I acknowledge that kicking people out of transit and transit centers isnt the solution to end homelessness. However, transit and transit stations are not homeless shelters, so kicking people out and policing transit centers is a solution to the general public feeling unsafe using transit and...

https://calgaryherald.com/business/local-business/construction-of-1-2b-biofuels-plant-on-edge-of-southeast-calgary-slated-for-next-spring But I thought the reason we don't want white collar, head office and "IT call center" jobs and Calgary can have all of those is because Edmonton gets all the...

It is closed last I saw (September)

While I understand the comparison between Blatchford and Griesbach, as the CBC article notes Blatchford is not market driven but very much policy driven as a wet dream of a municipal government that was 1. fixated on creating some eco paradise that was and has been unrealistic and 2. a continued...

I am confused by what people want on this forum. We want a vibrant downtown that isnt a ghost town, we want companies to be attracted to the region and invest here, but any suggestion at how that is reasonably achievable is confronted with how it isn't possible or reasonable because Calgary. I...

Porter decided that they will be investing in Ottawa substantially as their eastern operations and maintenance base, not Toronto or Montreal...

Dow has had a massive presence in Fort Saskatchewan for many years, it is continuing to invest in the billions on this and more projects. Now is the time for whoever is asleep at the wheel in the mayor's office, Edmonton Global, or whatever organization to start pitching and wooing Dow on moving...

Council as a whole and the mayor for sure have been one of the poorest quality councils we have had in recent memory, and we have had our share of poor quality councils.

Building looks phenomenal...so now what? Any leasing activity? Any takers for large chunks of space in there?

I dont know that inspiration is what is lacking for Rossdale and the powerplant. It is motivation and competency that is required to get something going here.

In light of yesterday, I think its unfair to put that on her given she allegedly has no idea what is going on whatsoever. Correction - Jennifer Rice's staff voted no lol

While not to get political (I am going to anyway), THESE issues are where our mayor and council need to spend time being vocal on and advocating for. Being public about the needs for Edmontonians and the region. This region needs a new hospital so badly that publicly advocating for this is a...

Because this city falls for the same thing over and over and over and over and over again. Strathearn Heights, BMO tower, Emerald tower, J123, Bateman Lands, to name a few where the city falls for this Charlie Brown process of allowing demolition permits with no contingency then the developer...

Vegas odds say that Alldritt Land Speculator Co will keep it that way indefinitely

Side note, what is happening with this big cargo plan that was announced and received federal dollars for? Since that 2022 announcement I have not heard of any developments of this moving forward.

I was speaking with two WJ Edmonton based pilots this weekend. They recently joined WJ from two other airlines and joined because of the Edmonton pilot base. Both like the opportunity because they dont have to commute and said that the pilot base is part of a bigger plan here in Edmonton and the...

You know what is a possible solution that the smartest people in the room have already decided they have no interest in exploring? A municipal development corp in which the city spins the lands into a city owned land development corporation that has proper governance and executive oversight in...
