Did we really need beef exports? Prices are near their historical highs and I guess going to climb higher.

I think it's hard to think in isolation and expect the city to have everything on hand at all times. Say today we had a massive sinkhole, a bridge collapse, or any other type of disaster, I don't think it's reasonable for the city to have everything ready at all times, and it'd be very...

Here is a website with cross country comparisons. The oldest/youngest population and income can't be taken in isolation. A younger population also means investing in schools, recreation, etc. that an older population might not have to. There's also regional differences where rural populations...

I've bought some bread and pastries from Co-op, but I find them worse than Safeway. But agreed that Save-On bakery is pretty mediocre.

Save-On makes the most sense. Maybe they convert some to PriceSmart (Asian, T&T like store) and some to a discount chain.

They'll need a spot for Parekh, he can only go to the AHL for limited time and obviously no point in going back to junior. It's a shame guys like Frost and Farabee hasn't taken a step with added opportunities. They'll need Coronoto to take a bigger step and hope the picks they're acquiring...

Co-op is closing their Hamptons and Sage Hill locations. The Hamptons one is not unexpected, but Sage Hill is one of their newest locations. I think Coop needs a discount concept, like No Frills and Freshco to compete in the suburbs. Especially recently, where I find their quality to be equal or...

Infrastructure is falling apart across Canada. Calgary's pipe failed at 50 years, far ahead of the 100 year design life. Everyone complains Nenshi raised property taxes when he was mayor, what else is he supposed to do? City infrastructure budget has increased in excess of inflation plus...

I sincerely hope it's not fabric... But no matter the material, it looks like such a dated design for 2026.

We need to clear up this log jam on D to give young guys a shot. We lost Solovyev to waivers, he's by no means a star, but he's 25 and playing for the league leading Avalanche, we definitely could've used him. Although I think Whitecloud is genuinely interested in being here. I was at a Vegas...

It's not going to be immediate because most of the quota in 2026, 2027 will likely be Tesla/Polestar/Volvo, maybe even Hyundai if they want to allocate their US and Korean production to the US. I think there's a lot of confusion in the media that these are not necessarily Chinese car company...

The news really has to do a better job of figuring out what is a new announcement and what is just announcing stuff that's already been in the works. https://www.childrenshospital.ab.ca/your-impact/latest-news/government-of-alberta-approves-planning-for-centre-for-research-innovative-care/ from...

Coleman might fetch a more than people expect, especially close to the deadline. He's the prototypically deadline overpay because most playoff teams could use him, being a bottom 6 winger, and his pedigree on those Tampa cup winning teams. Scott Laughton fetched a 1st + decent prospect, Coleman...

That's probably closer to their full cost. I think that's why China wants to export their cars, there's too much domestic supply and competition. When I was in HK over Christmas, there's BYD, X-PENG, ZEEKER, GAC, MG, MAXUS, and many more I never seen the logo of. Of course there's still the...

I'm sure it might, better diversification of risk, I don't disagree on the financial points. But similar to buying a house vs renting and investing. Sure the second option might come out ahead, but politicians, citizens, people are not always disciplined, and very likely that "investment"...
