I'm assuming it's this? Looks more modern, but wish they'd integrated the directional fish, mountains, train and fort in the background. From a city video: https://www.calgary.ca/bike-walk-roll/plus-15-wayfinding-improvements.html

I think it's also a style of play issue. Nylander and Tavares seem to do better in the playoffs because they play a more North-South puck carrying game. Matthews was injured this year, but him and Marner's game typically relies on finding gaps in coverage which are just far fewer in the...

This seems to mention replacing signs in buildings? I'm assuming the ones with different background for different directions? Odd the story doesn't have any pictures of the new design.

This one is where the Varsity apartments used to be. Were there commitment from UCPG to have affordable family units for students with families? I'm typically not a fan of public housing, because we have drug and mental health issues where we can't possibly implement a Singapore style public...

Also hate the people that talk about how much pressure the Leafs are under. What pressure? Boston traded their captain one season after winning the President's Trophy, Vegas didn't sign their Conn Smythe winner, Colorado traded Rantenan over like 200k? The Leafs won 2 rounds in 9 years with the...

The Japanese restaurant is Ryoku, which has locations on Macleod and the SW

Wonder if they start rebranding Loblaws to Superstores. The Loblaws name has a pretty bad association with it now, and Superstores got "Real Canadian"

Have no sympathy for investors. Just like I have no issues when the market price rose and they made a profit. Although I do think there's a lot of non-investors impacted as well. I'm in the age cohort (late 20s/early 30s) where people are getting into home ownership. And I know many people that...

Very likely that to be the case. We don't really have that level of hotel here and there's no US Embassy. Good riddance.

Not all housing starts are created equal. A lot of the housing starts have been tiny condos in big towers to accommodate new arrivals to the city and temporary residents. As those numbers fall off, that particular housing type has seen drastic declines and wad "overbuilt". SFH are still quite...

I don't remember seeing lots of homelessness or drug overdose issues in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. Definitely not communist states either.

Should also point out they are all Chinese-Canadian dual citizens, and China is one of the countries that don't recognize dual citizenship. There's at least one known non-Chinese Canadian that was sentenced to the death penalty for alleged drug trafficking, he's still alive.

Also keep in mind news media likes to publish layoffs, but don't publish when people get hired. Cenovus doesn't report their FTEs, but salary expense was up 13.5% between 2023 and 2024, which is definitely not just inflation adjustments.

I think this would be a pretty good outcome if it’s achievable. Unfortunately, there’s no putting fentanyl back in the bottle. Decriminalization doesn’t work here because we don’t pair it with strong, enforced treatment. Some provinces, including AB are passing forced treatment laws, but that’s...

Hope so as well but they'd probably need to grow their widebody fleet for that to happen. Was surprised to see Korean take such a major stake, since I don't think they've done many of these deals compared to Delta. Korean Air said this is to enhance their Americas connectivity, I wonder if...

This values the airline at 2.2B US, which they originally bought for 3.5B US in 2019. It's a loss in equity value and since half of that was Covid, I doubt cashflow was all that positive.

But can it crowd out the weeds? It's actually a fairly small patch (inner city) but the weeds grow so fast that the clovers and crabgrass have basically taken over. I tried pulling them out last year but they just come back.

Maybe this was common knowledge but news to me. "The city’s partnership with the free mobile smartphone app, Waze, means Calgarians can receive travel updates the minute traffic or construction is reported. Different from Apple or Google Maps, Waze connects directly to the TMC, making...

For those with more experience, if my backyard lawn is mostly clover with some crabgrass, what's the best way about fixing it? I'm ok with completely killing it and starting over, but have pets and want to be conscious of chemical use.

I think we should be updating zoning to reflect what is suitable for an area. If the zoning is suitable, and a developer wants more floors, I do think there should be a density bonusing payment to reflect that. To say all cost is passed on to the end consumer is a little midleading since...
