Air France is expanding in North America... Let's see them at YEG https://simpleflying.com/air-france-launches-6th-north-american-destination-since-2021/

We still need growth to generate increased taxes, jobs. No growth could lead to a Detroit situation.

We're #2 in Canada but would have been nice to be #1 Time for Edmonton is Calling?

Basically let's make transit slower and call it "urban". City doesn't fully understand transit yet. Maybe one day...?

Sad to hear an up and coming business left YEG. I'm not sure if Edmonton Global really is supposed to be doing exit interviews. Isn't their role FDI? Presumably, someone should be doing exit interviews but maybe it would be better done by someone like Edmonton Unlimited? And of course that...

But isn't it kind of accurate? I mean, it goes against current prevailing thought regarding development patterns, etc. That alone should qualify as weird. The principle of doing our own thing and being proud of it does resonate. (Even if the execution is something people could disagree about).

Overdue for sure.

Anecdotal but many people are driving to Calgary for various WestJet flights. There's a lot of market leakage happening. Yeg needs to attract some unique flights to draw people.

Sounds like cargo is a big part of this. This is great!

Has been predicted now for a while. Build build build!

It seems to already be accelerating, especially compared to a year ago.

What's wrong with the current access? A narrow staircase prevents people from loitering on it. It seems to work for its purpose?

First flight to Atlanta takes off tonight on WestJet.

109 should be a signature boulevard like Las Ramblas or the Champs-Elysees

Schedules are now showing United mainline to Denver being extended year around.

Have you heard of a Veblen good?

It's smart to price these a bit lower than 124st product. Qualico knows their business.

If We are to become a world city, we have to be okay with world leaders coming here even if we do not fully agree with them.
