I'm cheering on the demise of the Liberal Party and especially the celebrity spokesmodel that leads it, and focus of the federal government on its own jurisdiction. Trump might finally make that happen.

I lived in Australia for years. It abandoned its equivalent of supply management years ago and the sky did not fall. It also allows foreign ownership of media and telecom. Since Canada is geographically adjacent to the US, the business case for existing companies to expand into Canada would be...

Is it suprising that a federal government that so blatantly picks winners and losers and strays from operating within its jurisdiction threatens national unity? The Natural Governing Party reaps what it sows. The concessions that Canada will likely make to remain within the US tariff wall are...

For Smith, it is a case of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". Trump going medieval on the Government of Canada can only be a positive for Alberta.

MNP is highly accessible and arguably the best rec centre in Canada.

The terrain looks good. Some of it looks to be southern and southwesterly exposure, so snow retention may be questionable

The commercial real estate collapse hit Calgary well before other cities. The recent surge in transaction is likely a sign that valuations have bottomed out. Other cities have yet to test the bottom.

...or plant fewer trees and actually maintain them. Planting also often seems to ignore that trees planted after about June struggle to survive and those in exposed areas like west or south facing slopes almost always die.

The foundation might be oversized as the TA bunker was originally intended for phased vertical expansion.

So are the first two towers being built on the existing foundation? At least one of the renderings looked to have a tower where the architecture office currently stands. That placement would suggest a new foundation for it. One would think the developer would reuse the existing foundation before...

Eau Claire Market did far better before the growth in the surrounding residential population. It failed for many reasons.

I am confused about this project. At one point, the plan was to demolish the TA building while preserving the foundation so that a tower could be built on it. Now it appears that both the TA and architecture firm buildings are coming down for 2 towers, but potentially 4 total at some point in...

Seedlings are cheap and almost always die in Calgary's climate.

I'd like to get excited about this, but I know getting anything built in Canada is near impossible: https://calgaryherald.com/news/politics/alberta-open-crown-land-all-season-resort-development-tourism

Yeah. This is a plan for 750,000 dead trees

Canada is no longer in charge of its destiny as it will do whatever it takes to maintain a US trade agreement. This should be viewed as an opportunity to move away from at least some of supply management and protection of the telecom, media, commercial air travel and financial services industries.

I heard that a crane is being installed at Nest. Also heard that shoring is complete on 4th tower at deVille Quarry Park with excavation starting right away. Target is to have crane up by February

Sure it is. Trump is transactional. He will want something like an end to supply managment and 2% defence spending and the Canadian government will give it to him.

Most of the big producers have already signaled production increases without new pipeline capacity: https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/canadian-oil-producer-cenovus-boost-production-19-five-years-2024-03-05/#:~:text=Cenovus%20said%20it%20plans%20to,Sign%20up%20here...
