How much longer until they crack the champagne bottle on this one and call it done? She's looking pretty close to seaworthy.

"Violator will be Executed!" sounds like it should an album by a metal band named Violator.

There's a killer new sandwich join at the corner of 9th Avenue and 1st Street SW (diagonally across the intersection from the Palliser), called Meat & Bread. I only found out about it after coming back from Ireland, but I think I've been there a half dozen times already. The meatball sandwich is...

I saw a headline in the Globe, apparently the turn around is on at Sobeys'. I haven't been able to read the article in detail because it's behind their paywall, but here's a link anyway.

And what does it have to do with Dorians? All kidding aside, it's nice to see some action on an old thread. It'll be nice to see this lot developed.

Behold! The Results of Yet More Mucking About in Tableau! I've got it set up right now so that it shows a map of all the Census Divisions in Canada and you can select a (or more than one) ethnicity from a list and it colours the map by percentage of population in that CD. And in the top corner...

A shot of St. Michael's (where I was married last year) courtesy of my cousin's fiancee the crane inspector. :D

SUCCESS! Also Tableau rules.

Visit anywhere cool?

I was doing some mucking around in Tableau with the Census Division level ethnic data. We just got Tableau, so it's been an interesting way to muck around in it. Here's the most popular Ethnic group by Census Division for Alberta. Make note that the numbers are responses not population and...

Hey @Blader , which Cansim table are you getting the minority population breakdown from? If indeed you're getting that from a Cansim table. I'd love to be able to recreate something like this map with more up to date data.

If we get a poll on this one, I'd like to request that the "Terrible" option be replaced with "Woof!"

I join the consensus with a solid, WOOF!

Those lots have been screaming for better usage. Even if they came in bland, it would be better than what we've got. I'm totally onside with everyone wanting to see more though. It would be nice if they could include a grocery store in their plans.

There's nothing really to write home about in the April LFS numbers. The unemployment rates improved for both Calgary and Edmonton, but only marginally. 8.2% to 8.0% for Calgary and 6.7% to 6.6% for Edmonton. They both had declines in the participation rate, which in Edmonton's case it's the 6th...

Killer shots buddy.

Overall, it's fine if a bit boring. One thing TOTALLY bugs the hell out of me though. Why does it still have 2 eastbound lanes and 1 westbound lane?

Very cool, I wasn't really sure if it was office or residential until I saw that it was in Bridgeland. To me it projects more of a "business" aura. It's a cool looking project regardless and it will stand apart from the rest of Bridgeland in a good way. I'm looking forward to seeing it progress...

I've kinda been on the sideline of this whole discussion and I don't see that I can really add much to it, apart from to say that I agree with @Beltline_B in that FDI and pipelines are net positives for Alberta and with @JonnyCanuck that the "post-carbon" future is probably a long ways out...

The facade or Pancanadian or Encana Place or apparently the Edison now looks totally finished. It looks nice as anticipated, but does nothing about the beige monstrosity above it, as anticipated. +Bonus view of Sky.
