There’s a plastic surgeon following her around? Is she the lady that was entry to use the bathroom and went in a rant?

This is something large companies do. Announce some layoffs so that it makes it into the newspapers and investors and shareholders can see it) meanwhile behind the scenes they hire people back as contractors or part-time.

From what I’ve heard about 30 jobs will be moved to the refinery, and about 2 dozen will stay in Calgary. Of the 900 jobs they mentioned about 700 are in Calgary and will be phased out over a two year period. What isn’t mentioned in the article is that a number of jobs that are transitioning...

I agree Harris wasn’t the best choice for the dems, but a white male has a better shot at winning. A woman of ethnic background may still have a chance, just not as good a chance. Whatever the numbers are, there is still a fair amount of people in the US who won’t vote for a female or a female...

I wouldn’t say it’s exactly that case. It’s one thing to simply restrict people from the things you enjoy, but in this case, adding those extra units without parking will cause a parking issue for the people already there. Those people will be directly impacted so I can understand why they would...

I don’t love the design, but I happy to see it get built. I’d rather have an empty lot filled with a mediocre building than have it empty.

I hear you. I’m in Toronto visiting relatives, and it’s nice to catch the big city action. Toronto seems even busier than it was 20 years ago when I last visited but tbh, I prefer Calgary’s medium action vibe. Welcome to Calgary and welcome to the forum.

It’ll be so nice to see this when the major construction gets underway. It still feels like it’s not actually happening.

It’s happened to me too. Mainly people getting out and standing in the lane, then they look dumbfounded when you pull up to them on a bike.

Battistella, tends to do one project at a time. I would expect to see another project unveiled once Bluescan is halfway done.

I don’t think it’s that bad, I prefer it to the beige.

If they are baiting Nenshi, he’d be better by saying it’s not an issue the province needs to be involved in and that’s up to the city, and leave it at that. Let the UCP scree things up in their own.

My guess it’ll come in around 260 to 270 m but with the shorter tower already being taller than Brookfield Place, 300m wouldn’t exactly be a shock.

At 910 feet, they could have gone with something like 78 storeys for the taller one and 52 for the shorter one. We would’ve had Western Canada‘s first super tall. 😎 But I’m not gonna be greedy, I’ll take 910 feet anytime.

I’m sure many will disagree with me, but my own personal opinion is that 16 stories is too tall for the location. Density is great, but Marda Loop as an area, has a nice feel to it. I’d rather see something in the range of 8 to 10 stories here and at the co-op location.
