    People in Signal Hill and Sienna Hills would probably have thrown a fit. Not only would they lose relatively quick access to Sarcee, but all the traffic from the North accessing West Hills would had to have come down 69th and then on to a string of fairly minor residential roads to access the...

    So I've heard! 6Y x $5.35M. I think that's a pretty good deal. By the time it starts to feel weighty at the back end of the contract the cap should be a fair bit higher. My biggest hope is that he comes out on a tear after getting the contract monkey off his back.

    Re: Backs Tree apparently commented on the Backlund contract situation during one of the intermissions, but the bar I was watching at turned off the volume when the game wasn't on. Apparently he said things are progressing with the Backlund contract. He must be murder to play poker against...

    I thought the Flames really controlled that game. It was good to see against the number 2 team in the conference. The score was closer than it should have been. Nashville's second goal was a Rube-Goldberg of improbable crap and the late penalty that allowed them to pour on the pressure late was...

    Calgary's Potential 2026 Winter Olympic Bid

    I was less than a year old in '88. I went to Vancouver in '10 and it was a real blast. I've always wanted to be able to have that experience in my hometown.

    Yeah. I've been having trouble linking CANSIM tables for some reason. You can find it yourself by going to the CANSIM website and selecting Population and demography -> Population Estimates and Projections -> 051-0062 (it's the 11th table down on the first page)

    It's nice to see Saskatoon leading the way on a percentage basis. My brother lives out there and has been down on the economy the last few years. That sort of growth has to indicate some sort of vote of confidence. Their job growth has been stagnant alongside it though unfortunately. If we can...

    Ah so this isn't the YWCA one. I second just about everything that was said. It looks pretty cool. It could be slimmer. It could be taller. And yes we were trolled by their billboards. I'll take it though. It's miles ahead of anything else in it's immediate vicinity and it's killing an empty...

    That's a good question, but I have to think it's just the meat weight. We were 6 which is more than they recommend for the tomahawk at Briggs. Still I felt like we got a good portion. I don't think I got like 4oz of meat or anything. The bone is freaking huge. That'd be a scam if they're...

    Nice! That's a way better price than the Briggs one. It was $99 for a 48oz steak. It was worth the price, but this one sounds more-so.

    What do I mean? You know I'll have to look at exactly what half metaphor I've been bandying about since I was roughly 15. Stay tuned for the proper meaning, but maybe take it to mean that it was so good it burst the bulbs? My meaning: Lights Out = Exceptionally Good Grab two to three buddies...

    Calgary & Alberta Economy

    More or less. It probably also contains a cohort of disenchanted job hunters who have called it quits for now and remain unemployed but aren't presently looking for work.

    Calgary's Potential 2026 Winter Olympic Bid

    Yeah you can also count me in as pro-Games. Not necessarily at absolutely any cost, but my hope is that they'd be well planned. At a conversation with some friends a few weeks ago we were unanimous in our willingness to be volunteers as well.

    I can confirm Ceasar's has still got it when it comes to delivering a top notch steak. I think I was there in November. The decor looks like it belongs as a setting for an 80s mobster movie, but it's well kept so it's more classic than passé. I've also been to Hy's recently and I had no...

    Calgary's Potential 2026 Winter Olympic Bid

    I've thought about the idea of permanent hosts before too. 6 total would be a good idea in terms of efficiency. 12 years between hosting duties would likely mean that venues could be kept in good order, but I think for political reasons it would have to be more like 6 for summer and 6 for...

    Interesting read. I wonder what prompted that little exploration? It was sporting of them to say to go check out Olympic Plaza, but I'd never tell anyone to do that over Winsport or even the Olympic Oval when it comes to Olympic legacies.
