    Beige?! Beige! This looks like the corporate Imperial Oil campus in Quarry Park. Keeps getting worse. Wtf?!

    Branding campaigns are insane and seem to be a black hole for money. Marketing is a dark art. At least there's no cowboy hat.

    Alberta Provincial Politics

    Danielle Smith has a megaphone right now declaring she wants Alberta Sovereignty. From the Sovereignty Act to the new Gatekeeper Bill designed to block Federal funding to universities non profits and cities, to her pushing for provincial police, to pulling our investment out of CPP.

    It has been disappointing. I am somewhat hopeful with the amount of construction ramping up there recently however. In another couple years it will hopefully feel fuller.

    Oh yeah I remember! Saw the damage after. Today's windstorm is right up there with that one.

    Looks like the odd lot shape has led to some interesting design choices.

    At this rate Mahogany will have more of a skyline than Seton (even with the hospital). Brookfield shit the bed it seems developing their market street. It's finally seeing some action after 13 years but nothing so far is taller than 5 stories. The original conceptual art showed at least 1...

    I am never surprised by Danielle Smith's hypocrisy, stupidity, corruption, lies, incompetence, belligerence or plain old pettiness. She whines incessantly about the Federal government not respecting other jurisdictions and then imposes her rural dumbass ideology onto municipal and federal...

    Alberta Provincial Politics

    To the surprise of no one Smith is now attacking Calgary's blanket rezoning after blocking Federal housing funding that would have given us much needed help to build more homes. The damage she is doing to this city and province will set us back a decade...

    Calgary and Alberta Green Energy Projects

    Watched these get built as I work nearby. Interesting that the old settling pond on the bigger solar farm off 52nd isn't fully capped in that photo. The enormous dirt pile north of that site has been completely moved south of 114th and there is a project listed for 2 large warehouses now. I've...

    I saw some work going on there last week and wondered if it was for the tunnel. Also saw some work going on here: https://www.google.com/maps/@50.9892133,-114.0003992,3a,75y,5.24h,92.69t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sH6zUFjdhI5ieXymq_6FIWg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu

    The money is based on municipal zoning. If the Feds want to bypass a belligerent, lying provincial government that is itself interfering in both municipal and federal politics I don't blame them. At least Smith gave the bill an honest name. She wants to gatekeep Albertans from receiving back our...

    Excited to see the sculpture finished. Looks amazing!

    Is it weird I liked the darkness inside before? I also really liked the crystal staircase. It made it feel like you were in a strange alternate dimension or place.

    Alberta Provincial Politics

    Let's turn down free money at a time we are experiencing a housing crisis. Fuck Danielle Smith and the UCP. First it was opposition to affordable childcare. Then they vetoed Universal Pharmacare. Now they want to literally gatekeep federal funding to cities. How much damage can this...

    Calgary | Calgary Event Centre | 36.85m | 11s | CSEC | HOK

    Where I live (Auburn Bay) there are tons of elms. They do quite well here but are sad and underwatered along 52nd street going past Copperfield and Mackenzie Towne.

    Bought myself an NDP membership for the first time and intend to vote for Nenshi. I finally have hope again for politics in this province.

    I drive by this semi frequently and it has seemed derelict for the past 2 years. Not sure what's up.

    Calgary | The Cornerstone | 36m | 10s | Peoplefirst

    This looks worse than cookie cutter suburban vinyl clad condos. If they had even run the siding vertically it would look slightly less weird. Hopefully a new development appears on that surface parking lot beside it to block it from sight some day.

    Calgary | The Cornerstone | 36m | 10s | Peoplefirst

    I am completely baffled by the decision to clad the corner columns in that cheap ass siding. Wouldn't it have been cheaper to retain the brick? Looks awful.
