    Or to buy UCP politicians and have them ram through your new coal mine like Gina Reinhart did.

    AI Data Centre Industry Discussion Thread

    It reminds me of those shady bitcoin mining operations that have popped up around the province and been nothing but irritants to their neighbours. This is a scenario that goes beyond nymbyism though. It’s a larger assault on creativity, intelligence, workers, children and vulnerable populations...

    AI Data Centre Industry Discussion Thread

    It still astounds me that anyone who isn’t a CEO techbro can think that this ai bubble and it’s enormously wasteful and environmentally damaging data centres are a good thing. Beyond the enormous quantity of energy they consume they waste tons of freshwater too. In case you guys hadn’t noticed...

    Rubber stamping ai data centres when the grid can't power them and there is a worsening water crisis is a terrible idea. But of course the UCP doesn't give a shit.

    They're building condo towers in front of the DIC. You'd think being the other side of the tracks from there would at least help this area out. Arriva's built. Too bad Lamb's Orchard project was too far ahead of its time.

    For some reason when I see the name of this project all I can hear is this:

    Hate to be a Debbie Downer but I'm tired of twins. These would be great alone, but near Dominion they might make both projects look a bit cut and pasted. Hell, I would even take a shorter, wider tower with this design if it went the length of that parcel.

    Really bizarre to me that there's this much trouble building in Victoria Park. Is the Stampede board that dysfunctional?

    At my grad there was bottomless fountain pop refills and my friend and I drank so much that we got a caffeine high the likes of which I have never experienced since.

    Happy to hear that. The rendering looked like a lobby and I mistakenly thought someone had said that before. Glad to hear it will still be retail.

    Might be aging myself but I still remember that corner when it was a Red Robbins. Went there for my high school graduation. Too bad it's destined to become a sterile lobby.

    Lol! Wow, what a way to activate that corner!

    Their road designs aren't much better. Just look at the reverse lane overpass to go from Sunpark to Shawnessy / Somerset in the far south. That area is the worst planned in the entire city.

    Yeah the bore holes are big enough to swallow a small car.

    Work going on beside the Deerfoot casino at the corner of 114th and Barlow.

    Nice to see they're finally replacing that Atco trailer looking fire station.

    I like it. Makes it look like a melting glacier (in a good way).

    For once I welcome a triplet. That stretch of Macleod is twin city. It's almost comical looking in a cookie cutter, Sim City kinda way.

    Calgary Municipal Politics

    Yep. He's also of the same mindset as the KKKonvoy, TBA, MAGA, populist conservative crowd. They think they are the "silent majority" and that they're the ones with "Common sense", when in fact they're just the loudest, whiniest snowflakes who don't see a lot of pushback to their infantile...
