We could adapt/adopt the European nomenclature for their city cores and call it Centro.

Then purposefully spoil your ballot as an expression of “none of the above”. I’ve often thought “none of the above” should be on the ballot and counted and if it reached the first past the post spot then a by-election would have to be held until that was not the case.

You have to wonder if Danielle has interviewed Kaycee and Jonathan yet?

I’m not blaming him for anything but it wouldn’t surprise me if the Province’s move was the last straw. I remember spending some time with him and his wife at a fundraiser in Macaulay just after he arrived and was impressed with his approach, his reliance in data more than instinct and his not...

^ Fair enough David… :) If nothing else, I think we’ve demonstrated that boundaries are a little bit like statistics in that they can be set to make or facilitate almost any point or opinion one wants to make.

Maybe it’s the same supplier as the RAM’s screens and they’re waiting to fix the bugs there before they make these?

^ I’m not meaning to play word games but we are talking about semantics… Firstly, you could still have your “downtown core” within a larger downtown area that would include what I listed above. Secondly, “downtown” already includes all of the legislative grounds stretching south to the river...

Not sure if this belongs under municipal or provincial politics…

^ You’re correct that there are no clear borders To Edmonton’s downtown. But, having said that, I don’t believe the issue is made better by artificially making it smaller. The issue is as much perception than reality. Most people who live in Oliver, Central McDougall, Macaulay, Boyle Street...

Of course that would mean a whole host of city employees working on the project for two plus decades the way the city chooses to handle it would then have had nothing to do after the first four years it should have been completed in. As it stands, by the time the last phase has been completed...

I think it’s probably now just another one of those things in Edmonton that should happen but never will. There have been a number of two and three way swaps of land in Edmonton in the past (the Women’s Prison in the west end, Canada Place, The Armoury etc.) but they all took place when there...

To be fair, it was discussed early in the planning phases for the area before there was a Blatchford - a time when there were no property values to crush there. Even today I’m not sure the negative impact would be that much worse than being next to Yellowhead and the railroad yards. Even if...

Malicious may not be the right word… Disingenuous perhaps? There are not enough doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists etc. There may in fact be enough OR’s - just not enough people to utilize them as they could operate 24/7 off there were enough people in the system to address the current patient...

There were discussions about swapping the historic old RCMP building in the Quarters for a potential new facility at the north end of Blatchford abutting the Yellowed where it would have provided a visual and noise buffer to the highway and railroad yards (an upgrade for both the city and the...

There were discussions about enclosing the annex from the roof down in/with a “glazed winter garden” on the east and south facade (similar to the British Museum Galleria and similar spaces). The west and north facade would have been enclosed with a “glazed plenum space” similar to the Manitoba...

You could add the remand centre to that as well although it’s already moot as demolition is well underway…

Not an uncommon "discussion" and not restricted to the old RAM or to Ivan and Vedran... :(
