If you wanted to, I'm sure you could devise a really interesting game with Statcan data. You could know the economic and industrial capacity of every region, as well as the population and pretty well every other detail you could imagine. Canada's Civil War, the board game! :D "In a Dystopic...

Nice! I wasn't really expecting to see much action on this one. Demolition is definitely what the area called for.

Call me insane, but it's maybe never looked better. Exposed and whethered shafts of geometric concrete on a desolate moonscape of construction detritus... I might be a suitable martian colony candidate. :oops: (Onward New Calgary!)

I think we might have been at risk of totally derailing the brand spanking new Statcan data thread with inane maps, stats and flags. Therefore I give you the Fantasy Geography/Politics Thread! Home to all that is inane maps, stats and flags! Picking-up where @UrbanWarrior and I left off, topic...

I just grabbed the numbers the numbers from Statscan's Q2 provincial population estimates (Spoiler Canada Breaks 37M population for the first time!): Alberta only grew 0.05% faster than BC did year over year, so I have to assume it'll be a heck of a long while before we catch them at this...

Interesting, I had no idea such a thing existed. Is this a fairly new development? And is the intention for it to be a wetland, or just a drainage area?

"Tree" Tops as seen from the 4th floor of the Core.

How dare they! ;) I loved the look of the curve in the tower that I snapped yesterday from 7th ave and 3rd street.

I have no idea if these guys are going to turn into anything more than AHLers. Calgary has had a habit under Treliving of doing an annual European fishing expedition. Over the years that's included guys like Wolf, Pribyl and Nakladal. So far the only one that's really amounted to anything at the...

I'm mostly in agreement with you, but I think you've substantially underpriced JT. I can't imagine he gets much less than Anze Kopitar at $10M. No one can make more than McDavid at $12.5M, cause that would be foolish, but I can see him sliding in between $9.5M and $11.5M. Secondly, he's a centre...

Calgary's new professional soccer team is starting to become a little more concrete. They have a name, if you haven't guessed: Cavalry FC. http://cavalryfc.canpl.ca/ I'm not really a devoted soccer fan by any stretch, but I've gotta say I really like what I'm seeing from Spruce Meadows...

Hurray Caps! I don't know if I'm more happy to see a deserving franchise win the cup or see an undeserving one lose. Either way, I think we all owe Ovi & Co. for sparing us the hideous embarrassment of Vegas winning in it's first season. It's been a bit of a morgue in here and not without...

A slick render never hurts a project. I liked it before and I still like it now even though it has it's faults. What is the status of this project?

I went to check the website looking for the exact street address and found something totally different. It looks as though there's been another design update. I haven't seen this render elsewhere in the thread.

Very cool little project! I agree with the comments regarding the slim profile, small podium and curb appeal. There's something a bit playful about it to me. It doesn't come off as a stark people-box.

Praise be!

I had heard University City recently described as a quasi-residence hall. I wonder with this project, Brio, West Campus and the Hub over in Motel village, whether they'll have gone past the University's capacity to supply potential residents we'll see a more diverse community take root in the...

So long as they don't touch the Sentry Box, they can do whatever they please with the area. That thing is an institution. It was there long before Mikey's and the 5 other things Mikey's was before becoming Mikey's. Maybe they should branch out and get a liquor license. :p

I think they'd spoiled the opportunity to hold Kinder Morgan's confidence long ago unfortunately. They combination of hostility, distrust and disinterest in other pipeline projects left them as the last men standing and it became the focal point of all of the opposition. I think the purchase is...

I had an interesting thought today, and I decided to pull up some data from the US Bureau of Statistics to confirm my notion. Without further ado, my shower-thought worthy question was how Lethbridge CMA and future Red Deer CMAs compare to the largest Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) in the...
