Looking for some insight from you folks. The community developer offered to install a tree in our front yard. After numerous delays, it was planted a week ago after the snow dump in what I assume is a state of hibernation. From googling it seems like this is a terrible time to plant a tree but...

With a slope like that this lot would be a prime location for some outdoor waterslides.

I know the discussion has moved on but the second statement here is egregious to me. In what way are the Flames "players/staff/premium" users bankrolling the facility? Regardless of the sell job from our wonderful politicians, the CSEC portion of the funding is: $40 million upfront $17...

Saw this on Reddit and thought you airport nerds might be interested. The title is a bit misleading as this is mostly related to international flights but still thought it was worth sharing.

Interesting 33 Acres is shown on the rendering. They are a brewery from Vancouver, but already have a taproom in Calgary at the District.

Well the "answer all the outstanding questions" meeting occurred and predictably doesn't seem to have provided any new information. https://calgarysun.com/news/local-news/calgary-arena-deal-new-details-emerge/wcm/6e756283-7b4f-42b7-9703-565c3de36dff From the article: Sharp defended Calgary’s...

Jeromy Farkas, surprisingly, put it pretty succinctly. We supported bringing the parties together because we thought we were going to get the best of both worlds. We thought we were getting Wildrose financial responsibility and transparency married with PC competence and progressive social...

I guess we will have to disagree that a program that DS has advocated for for years and has implemented a pilot program +under a different name to be clever) for since she's been in office is more than an idea. But it perfectly illustrates why character matters. Do I believe DS will implement...

What is your opinion on R-star?

I agree with most of what you are saying but outside of jails those issues aren't exclusive to Edmonton. Also if you believe the UCP math on this(I don't), the new $330M commitment is to make up for a shortfall that existed in Edmonton's favor in the previous budget. I think that's a red...

Needs more ripples, less blank grey panels.

I was on board with the Mayor and City walking away from the deal after Edwards tried to strong arm us into paying for what CSEC had agreed to, but now we are effectively paying the total cost of the original arena design. Seriously, we look like giant fools.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks. Did these buildings hurt you? Show me on this doll where the buildings touched you. Or did they murder your parents or something?

I went back and forth about responding but maybe its not a culture war, maybe some people give equal (or even more) weight to social considerations as they do to economic ones. Your decision is between dollars and dollars not mine, but the UCP seems to be on a spending spree of late so your...

I'm wondering if there is there any possibility that a less reflective material was selected because of the curvature? The more I look at it, the more I convince myself having some more reflective material and a possible focal point directly in the plaza would've lead to some great beer garden...

Following with this analogy, would re-electing the UCP be more along the lines of not trusting that the medical professional's cure works and therefore ignoring getting treatment or is it more that since there is a cure (never ending resource revenues?) we disregard everything and continue with...

Not saying this is a bad idea, but I'm not sure how well Big Rock would be welcomed. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/barley-belt-brewery-craft-beer-1.5457831 It sounds like the craft breweries in the Barley Belt have no love for bigger companies, but given Big Rock's Alberta history and...

I get serious Halifax vibes from this one, not entirely sure why.

So you're telling me the fanfic I immediately came up based on the original post involving a drunken college night where you and a nameless paramour mistakenly wandered into the old stock exchange building igniting your love of heritage buildings is not at all based on reality?!? My whole world...
