I realize this is off topic, but this is where I have zero sympathy for what is left of the mainstream media, they are badly self sabotaging what is left of their business model. For instance, they constantly complain about declining reader/viewership but then they continue to cut local...

I also feel this will start to happen, as not just WEM but the other popular malls are actually quite full now. So the only way they can bring in something new or expand something popular is to get something else to move out. Downtown probably has the most space/flexibility with space to take...

Global's predecessor ITV was based out of Edmonton and had a major presence here as opposed to elsewhere, so that may be why. Sadly the provincial political commentary in the post media (such as it is - there are only two prominent writers left and one is already more than a decade past normal...

I agree, first of all because I don't think LRT to St. Albert is going to happen quickly and second because there are also other growing areas north of St. Albert such as Morinville which commuter rail would make sense for.

Yes, but there are city councilors and representatives of the city on the police commission. Also, who funds the EPS?

Yes, when I moved here in the early 1980's I think there were 4 to 5 major department stores downtown, numerous other smaller clothing stores and many other retail stores. Now there are just a few left - Winners is fairly decent, I go there regularly, and it has replaced one or two of the old...

One of the unintended benefits of the height restriction for the old airport, which was in place when most of the older buildings in this area were built, is if you build a new residential building much higher the older buildings nearby, it will have some very nice views, probably for a fairly...

Barring a Christmas miracle, it seems my expressed concern that the sign will again be yet again be wrong with coming in 2024 may come to pass, as the year soon draws to a close

I suspect people who want quiet probably would have never have lived by this road, but it seems to be a difficult position - too busy to attract certain residents, but not busy enough to attract a much more commercial/retail.

I am beginning to wonder if the EPS building prominently downtown is either now an empty shell or a hiding place for the police that they are reluctant to or afraid to leave. Years ago, there was much talk of community policing, but these days there is no evidence of it in the downtown core...

Sounds fairly high end, but also nice to see an actual retail store fill this empty space downtown. There are huge gaps in retail that have developed downtown particularly over the last 5 years or so. Part of making downtown more attractive for more residents and for more people to come...

I'm not an aviation expert, but if the runway is too short doesn't that mean the plane fails to take off and crashes into something? The NDP leader has already repeated they will be voting non confidence soon, so perhaps the runway is even getting shorter. The Liberals ditherers are going...

City of Prisons doesn't have quite the ring to it as another slogan, but perhaps dumping ground for Alberta's social problems does.

Potato power: Alberta is top of the crop...

Good question - Why are inmates from a prison near Calgary being driven two hours being driven two hours to be released in Edmonton? I feel Edmonton is to some degree the dumping ground for Alberta's social problems, but unfortunately neither the City News article or the linked post by...

Why does this article have the feel of a fluff piece or a paid advertisement? There are probably a lot of solid numerical ways to evaluate the effectiveness of the health care system under this Minister, I'm not sure to say claim she is motivated because a family member had cancer is the most...

As is often the case politicians try to take credit for the good things such as increased housing starts in Edmonton and blame others for the bad things, such as property tax increases way above inflation rates. I'm not sure this heads we win, tails you lose approach goes over that well or...

It has been disappointing, although tbh from feedback I have heard from people involved in the process, I am not sure the city was really ever that enthusiastic or committed to this either. The Mayor seemed to initially say some nice things, but not much happened after that Maybe the city...

You're not the only ones! There is still the student crowd I see out, which often seems to be gearing up as I am gearing down some

Perhaps more is needed, but isn't there already a daycare for a long time in a building about a block away on 103rd and 100 Ave, the one with the brand new bar/restaurant?
