Yes. Now I see the comparison of Smith to Carlson. Wow ... this is who we have as our premier until the next election :eek:

I did not see any of the leadership debates but if true, how did this not come out? The vast majority of public sentiment is clearly on the side of Ukraine. Right now she is coming under fire for public remarks she made in April about 'Ukraine needing to be neutral like Switzerland and not side...

The NDP have been running radio ads in Calgary for the last year. They have been pointing to UCP infighting, then under Kenney and now it will be directed at Smith. I can't believe Smith is focused on rural Alberta where they already have the vote. If they lose Calgary in the next election, it...

I agree. Triovest/Coril are not going to be satisfied with 'status quo'. Obviously, something has to be done with the derelict 7th Ave side. There is too much valuable real estate on that entire block to keep things as they are.

Most of those eastern European countries still have vivid memories of being under the thumb of the USSR ....or the threat of being. None of them want to return to that state. Ukraine really is a 'last stand' against autocracy in that part of the world.

and she chose to bring up the subject of vaccinations ... "the people who did not get vaccinated were the most discriminated". Those that did not are a minority now and probably were already UCP voters in the past. If they have not been vaccinated by now, they probably never will. Why is she...

The expansion (runways, terminals) to the CIA over the last decade have really paid off. Together with Westjet transitioning from regional carrier to more of a global one, this should position Calgary as a western hub, like Denver CO. Like many on this blog, I have flown in and out of a lot of...

Yep ... not the federal government's fault that energy projects are stalled or cancelled. It can't be the hostile environment that has been created by the Trudeau government towards fossil fuels and led to massive capital investment retreating from this country. No ... it must be because our...

Yes, speaking of grown every year under Trudeau is this list: https://financialpost.com/commodities/energy/scrapped-nearly-150-billion-worth-of-energy-projects-shelved-in-canada and added to the list this year https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/ottawa-rejects-saguenay-energy-project-1.6320373

OPEC+ just announced a reduction in production of 2 million barrels a day. This comes at a time when oil reserves around the world are near all time lows. The U.S. has to replace the strategic reserve that Biden bled down all summer in order to reduce pump prices. Oil supply and demand has...

The George is as close to a hotel as there is on 17th Ave. Fully furnished suites that can had on a short term rental. I have no idea how successful Truman has been with this concept but if you are coming to Calgary for a week, this is an option.

To me, the opportunity and desire to host an Olympic games has changed for most cities. Yes, it stimulates economic activity for the host city in the short to medium term and there are permanent facilities left that can be repurposed. However, there is also great waste and redundancy in some...

Wow ... this could be a game changer. 1. More manufacturing, more diversity of our economy 2. This should create demand for other services to support this factory therefore more feeder companies, more jobs. This is great news 😃

From a guy who has no credibility yet 75 million Americans still voted for him, Trump addressed a crowd at a rally in Ohio on the weekend. He stated that Russia would not have invaded Ukraine had he still been president. Of course, that was not his first reaction to the news back in February...

Apparently Germany has some decommissioned Leopard tanks that they do not want to give to Ukraine. I have not heard the reason.

By inflation I assume you mean wage growth, and not material costs that I was referring to in the construction industry. By your example, a job that pays $80 K in 2015 is now worth $100K in 2021? That is much higher than the rate of inflation in a 6 year period. The truth is we don't know why...

I was listening to a military tactician on CNN. He said the recent Ukrainian 'route' in the northeast was against mostly green, conscript soldiers. Most of the seasoned Russian troops are in the south. IF Ukraine can push Russia back from Kherson and further to the east, then they will really be...

The stat of 40,000 new jobs added paying > $100,000 came from the Canadian Taxpayer Federation. You don't appear to have a source for your number. According to that chart, the number of public servants in 2021 is not back to 2010 level, it is 13% higher. I don't get the justification that...

Ukraine has precious little time to make further gains. Once the weather turns it will surely create a stalemate on the ground. Unfortunately, Russia could then turn to aerial or long range assault for which Ukraine has little defense. The Russians have far more deadlier weapons right up to...

As our federal workers receive a third paid holiday just this month ....on top of all of the other holidays and paid sick days etc. throughout the year (at taxpayers expense) .... I thought I would share these facts about our very bloated federal government. Makes me 🤬. I don't know about...
