    Calgary ‘Black Lives Matter‘ Equality Protests

    "All lives matter" is like saying to a firefighter "All houses matter" when they are trying to put out a burning house. Do other houses need repairs and renovations? Sure, but there's still only one house literally on fire (in this figurative comparison). There are countless other metaphors to...

    This is quite offensive in its current state without cladding on it. Once all the cladding goes up, I don't think it'll be quite as bad. This thing has a lot of faults, but it will eventually just be a piece of the North Hill skyline once more taller stuff is built along 16 Ave N and at Motel...

    Eisenberg | ?m | 3s | NORR

    Agreed - but it could suck more. At least its lined up with the rest of the panels, and not mid-spandrel.

    Calgary & Alberta Economy

    These counter arguments feel to me rooted in the reality of the state of the world up until this year. Which is completely fair. I guess what I'm saying is maybe this large-scale global event can be the catalyst for real big changes on how we operate. To those say "eventually we'll have to get...

    My College has offered students to not receive a GPA for classes this semester. Instead can get a "Credit Received" or "Credit Not Received". This is gonna help me as I've also been struggling with at home learning and have been unable to maintain my 4.0. I'll still be passing all my classes, so...

    Calgary & Alberta Economy

    Just my unprofessional (and possibly unwarranted) opinion, but this seems like a great time to divest from oilsands expansion instead of doubling/tripling down. I have yet to see any argument that convinces me we will ever go back to the level of fossil fuel use of the past decade in this new...

    The wildlife motif is pretty tacky imo - but everything below it looks good.

    Whoa - check out how the materials choices on the left match the building to the left and how the angle of the tower sorta matches the building on the right. Great attention to detail if this was on purpose. Makes it look like its transitioning between architecture styles down the block.

    I was on EI last year and am currently a student. Pretty sure I don't qualify for any of the benefits offered, including EI again. I'm still going to apply, its always worth a shot I think ?‍♂️ . I am at least in the works of deferring what bills I can.

    ^^One of my favourite views of downtown, unique with its tech-industrial-urban vibe compared with other views of downtown.

    Wonder where liquor and cannabis stores will land... Both non-essential, but will likely help a great many people through this lol.

    Covid-19

    As far as I know, the Province hasn't yet enacted the part of the Emergency Act that allows them to commandeer privately owned buildings. Not to say it wouldn't happen if it gets bad enough of course. New Horizon Mall seems like a good idea though, especially if the virus begins to hit small...

    As someone who is just entering the horticulture/landscaping industry, I sure hope so ?. This seems to me like a great time to start heavily investing in green infrastructure.

    Covid-19

    It's a bit astonishing how much some people's privilege is showing right now, and sad for them. It's not only old folk though. Unfortunately the number of young people requiring hospitalization in the US is rising; NYT saying 40% in hospital are aged <55. I hope we don't see that here. For the...
