Carney seems to be this era's Hamlet for the Liberal Party, now that John Turner is gone and Paul Martin is retired, although both did eventually become PM's. Although he doesn't have as much political experience as them, I wouldn't rule him out, but I don't think this is his moment now.

Yes. LeBlanc is quite competent and capable, but I feel so too were his two predecessors. The problem with the current government is higher up.

Yes, it is not hard to find examples of this over the last few decades, even downtown. The Staples store on 101 St was also good example of that, but gone now and replaced by structures more pedestrian friendly. Given the value of land, I suspect big parking lots in front are going to become...

Many of our older warehouses are not that big, but a nice brick facade could fit in nicely with the Warehouse District.

With all these resignations, I feel it is becoming clearer the one person who really needs to resign, hasn't yet. I hope the Liberal Cabinet and caucus will finally grow a backbone, because if not, it is also becoming clearer they are marching to political oblivion.

Maybe Carney is more politically naive than I expect, but this is like being offered a free ticket on the Titanic after it already hit the iceberg. If you accept, the ride will likely be short and unpleasant.

Hey, it isn't news because it hasn't been announced. More than once in history someone has been certain a government would do something, but it hasn't happened. So I wouldn't count my chickens until it is and even then ... What necessity? She won an election without a single seat in Edmonton...

I don't find vote for me, it could be worse very motivating and I think that explains the outcomes of some recent elections. I would prefer to have someone who I feel I know where they stand, even if I don't agree with everything than a bunch of weasels

I'm not as outraged, perhaps because I really don't expect much from the UCP to begin with. Its typical of the current bunch, behind the populist storefront is a backroom of full of disregard for the public. One of my biggest beefs was how it was spun by some complicit (?) media, that he was...

Oh, I am aware of that. I would just like a little more consistency and honesty, but perhaps that is too much to ask of them.

Not quite a new hospital, but if those beds could be immediately converted to beds for adults that would be helpful. Of course, construction hasn't even started, so this is really many years off and the funding would have to be there too, which is something I wonder about given all the other...

I am suspicious because my Neo card has had to be replaced so many times. I am very careful and had few problems with other cards from the big banks. I do get the sense they are over hyped, but hopefully not anything worse than that. In Canada it is also very hard for financial starts up if...

Yes as well as the zoning, there also has to be the demand for more density and a building like this as well.

Good point. I realize we have zoom and everything now, but I feel this is taking working remotely a bit too far. Yes, you can still participate in meetings without too much difficulty, but I feel you really lose some sense of what is going on by not being in the community.

Looks nice. Another of the now almost ubiquitous 6 storey building, which is now surplanting the 3 and 4 storey ones that were commonly built decades ago here. I recall seeing a lot of 6 storey buildings in certain older cities I traveled to in the past. Perhaps this is a sign we are becoming...

For goodness sake the last major hospital built here was over 30 years ago. There will be an election in a few years so hopefully the SW hospital or something similar will be announced then or soon after that.

I wouldn't be surprised because we have several projects downtown being completed now and earlier in 2024. So after they start to fill up and if demand continues to grow, something started in 2025 should be completed at a good time.

There is still some work to fill in this area, but as it fills in it also probably becomes more desirable, so this project going ahead soon is good news and probably will lead to others in the future.

There is a long history of city councilors being in favor of more density in principle or in other areas, but not in theirs. I find some of our politicians pompousness and duplicity a bit insufferable

I don't think building mines in Northern Ontario or Northern BC will do a lot for demand for condos in Toronto or here. And there are a whole bunch of restrictions and regulations that will not be easily removed, so good luck with that. I suspect there will be a lot of disappointment, but...
