Bell being upset makes me happy. It means the city didn’t just roll out the red carpet to the UCP’s interference.

30 frickin’ votes! That’s what Jamieson is ahead by! When it’s that tight is there any recourse to re-do it? Vote I mean.

Yes everyone had to sign those worthless declarations. All performative paperwork to appease the rural MAGA base that believes our elections are rife with voter fraud. Cities couldn't possibly elect non conservative politicians without their being fraud of some kind in their mind.

No problem. The amount of construction is insane but I've only been sharing that market street area. There's also a massive new sotrage facility with some other businesses that's being finished across from the Superstore to the south. Not to mention a new HOA for Seton and countless woodframe...

IIRC you moved here from out of province? This is the first election where I have had to sign any kind of declaration. Just wait til the new licenses with immigration status start appearing. This is all part of the UCP's push to disenfranchise voters.

That's what the UCP wants. Did anyone hear their announcement yesterday that next provincial election they get to choose who is allowed to run or not based on how 'serious' the candidate is? GOP MAGA voter suppression is being imported by these lunatics.

Yeesh! Hopefully some paint will be added. That looks bad so far.

The biggest reason I’m voting Gondek is her stance against the Ultimate Corruption Party. I fear for municipal democracy should a compliant mayor and council get elected.

Just start calling it Tokyo Drift haha!

I have ptsd from the 00’s red brick stampitecture in that area. I’m happy with this or a brown brick.

It may be a bit trendier but I actually prefer the new design.

Construction in the median going on now at Barlow and 114th.

Some Seton updates:

Paint is a bit better than I expected. Helps a bit.

She was crucified for declaring a Climate Emergency and the Flames immediately used it to kibosh the arena deal and now we all get to fund like 70% of Murray Edwards’ private business because of it. I don’t blame her for not campaigning on that. Why would she unnecessarily open herself to attack...

The recent renderings make me fear a repeat of the West Village Towers podium of cheap beige paneling. I hope I’m wrong and they stick with brick.

I get the necessity for emergency affordable housing but this looks like a temporary workcamp structure from up north. The one across the street turned out great but this is just 🤮.

In a weird way the font almost makes it look like a mid century modern building from that angle. Like it’s an extension of the office beside it.

I had a humanities class at U of C with Myke Atkinson and also knew him second hand from a friend at ACAD that played in a band with him. From what I remember he’s a super smart, super passionate and organized guy. He would make a really good councillor.

People have been pretty harsh on this one but I don’t mind it. It’s much nicer than the initial design.
