    Calgary Flames Official Thread

    5-0-1 to start the season, love watchin g this team so far. Apparently Conny is looking for a right hand center for the 2nd or 3rd line, guess the teardown is over and the building has started.

    Colonialism and design choices discussion

    So I'm going to play devils advocate for a minute. I'd love for someone to give me a rational explanation of what decolonization really means. I think most of what people want is a civil rights issue, but how do we de-colonize Canada? Not standing in people's way is an obvious start, but what...

    Nope, this one. You can see the lot on the SW corner of the intersection, noted as 1801, this lot is literally sized for a house. The house that was here looks to have been torn down around 2017.

    East Village: Success or a long ways away yet?

    The education system can and should play a role for sure, they are probably a better judge of a child than a parent who is likely extremely biased lol. This problem has no single solution, needs to be approached from many many angles.

    The interior render does show a space above for it to be raised up, would expect something similar to that. Would still love the Seattle version though, it looks cool. A halo would be amazing, especially with the fire graphics you could put on it, but I definitely agree that it would break the...

    East Village: Success or a long ways away yet?

    I would add family doctors, your GP should have a good idea, but maybe testing mental health for children and adolescents should just be part of our annual checkup as kids.

    East Village: Success or a long ways away yet?

    So these are all good points, not going to argue them, but I think you have missed what I'm saying. Mental health is a life long issue that we need to start screening for and treating, before people end up on the street. Yes it's easier to get an appointment and get a prescription if you have a...

    Is there any info about what the scoreboard will be? watching the Flames - Kraken game Saturday made me want the double triangle screen they have in Seattle. The new scoreboard in the Dome is really nice, wish it had the rounded corners like most do, but it's just temporary. The one in CPA...

    Crazy to have a tower going up on a house size lot, will be interesting to watch this one go!

    Crews on site today ripping out the last of the former parking lot, wonder if this means excavation is imminent.

    Good point, hard to argue that.

    Calgary Bike Lanes and Bike Paths

    Fair enough. Perhaps a bit antagonistic on my part. What I mean is that people tend to latch onto populist ideas because someone they like said it. Bike lanes are an example because people see them as anti car while not actually considering that everyone on a bike is one less car on the road...

    East Village: Success or a long ways away yet?

    Free housing sounds great, but it does nothing for the crisis in mental health, and that seems to be more at the heart of the problem. Any solution needs to be multifaceted, and in my mind needs to start with mental health. I feel like are always trying to solve the problem by dealing with the...

    Sadly, he will probably get a lot of feedback, likes and agreement from people who aren't capable of thinking for themselves. The war on bike lanes has begun...

    Calgary Restaurant Thread

    The orientation of the traffic outside shouldn't make a difference, these 2 places are closest to the dome and are right on 17th. People go to the casino despite the one ways, which makes me think these bars just aren't anything special in their own right.
