On the other hand, it did mean as much to him as anything else…

I sometimes wonder if sidewalk snow removal (all snow removal?) wouldn't be better done if it wasn't completed by civic employees who don't have quite the same incentive when it comes to timeliness. If it were done by private contract, it would be easy enough to accept the most attractive...

All of the time! Much of what I see and read confuses me. That's why I look for clarification and clarity and accuracy wherever I can, sometimes asking for it and sometimes trying to provide it, Sorry that bothers you so much - must be all of that California sunshine. :) PS Road salt, like...

That’s like saying iron is a metal as are gold and lead and copper… So yes, calcium chloride and sodium chloride And and potassium chloride etc. are all sales but they have different chemical compositions and they have different properties/attributes - particularly when dissolved - at different...

No apologies necessary… the metric itself is a useful one and you are not the first one and probably won’t be the last one to misinterpret or misrepresent it. When trying to make comparisons between different types of events (hockey vs concerts vs residents vs workers) it can be useful, simply...

As I’ve said previously, there can be much truth in sarcasm…

I’m pretty sure they use calcium chloride and sand and salt - just like Edmonton - except for the bridge which uses liquid potassium acetate which is biodegradable and less corrosive than potassium chloride.

While your math is likely correct, it does need to be noted that that’s not 2.02 million discrete visitors. As an example, of those 2.02 million, 1,116,000 people are there for the Oilers games but that’s not 1,116,000 unique individuals. My guess is that total is predominantly the same...

It was more than getting mad at having to wash cars more often. The city still uses proactive measures that include the use calcium chloride as well as sand (often in combination) and salt. Calcium chloride is effective at much lower temperatures than salt. In their use of potassium chloride...

So Trump has invaded Venezuela and used the US military to kidnap Nicolas Maduro to bring an end to his drug trafficking to the US. Exactly one month after he granted a full pardon to Juan Hernandez, the ex-president of Honduras, for drug trafficking to the US. Don’t get me wrong, Maduro and...

If arenas can convert from hockey to basketball or from basketball to hockey in a as matter of hours without taking out or rebuilding the ice surface, they could easily have a sheet of ice and then just cover it as/when needed. There’s also no reason not to use it as a snowshoe park after a...

He can but any replacement is likely to be chosen using the same criteria that kept him - and probably rightly so - from being selected in the first place. International tournaments aren't won on offensive output, they are typically lost as a result of errors in judgement and defensive mistakes...

I'm pretty sure most posters comments outside of this forum are more positive than what gets said here. This forum is for those who care about the city and want even better things for it than currently exist. Why else are any of us here in the first place?. In that light, many of the...

The team has to juggle its roster under two hard constraints. The salary cap is one and the other is the maximum number of players they can have on the roster at any single point in times. I’m sure they would rather have assigned Philp to the Condors but that’s not an option without his first...

What to do on Christmas Day in Kuala Lumpur.

^ Sooo... the playoffs start on April 18th and Barkov isn't expected back until late April. Go figure.

You just have to love good satire because it’s really hard to tell good satire from the truth…

^ It’s not dependent on where the last heating element is located, it’s dependent on how the meltwater is handled. Most Scandinavian applications utilize the local storm drainage system which means the system must be extended to the areas being drained. Holland Michigan’s system utilizes...
