    Calgary & Alberta Economy

    That would require buy-in from those organizations, but maybe there is and CT just haven't tried to do that. This would also be better for fare evasion as I'm sure many, many people are not paying for transit to these events because there's simply not enough validators for the passenger load...

    Statscan numbers

    That level of start is pretty low. Some specific projects are still selling I think, just the overall market is doing really poorly.

    Calgary International Airport

    Had an incident in March, then Canada-wide on July 3rd, and now this. Maybe just an odd coincidence but it's getting a bit too frequent

    For the customer, it doesn't really matter what technology they're using for the backbone when the limiting part of the network is the coaxial to the home. I'm sure every company uses fibre for some portion, but if they choose not to invest in residential fiber, I think it's totally fair game...

    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    Community Centre spaces usually don't get too much action unless the city wants to build something bigger. The Riley Park Health Centre land was sold earlier this year. I imagine they'd want to build something at scale there, but probably more complicated with there being existing tenants on...

    Dominion Centre | 44m | 11s | Alston Properties | ATLRG

    The unit just needs to be big enough that the bedroom is only a bedroom. As units get smaller and smaller, often the "bedroom" also doubles as an office, or gym room because there's not enough space. Working 8 hours in a windowless room is a bit depressing

    Calgary Regional Rail Transit

    I don't think it is a matter of that project not being on the list, but that project is way too early. They haven't determined a route, they're not applying for any approvals. What is the Feds going to help with? The point of the Infrastructure office is to help get things built so they don't...

    Admittedly not that familiar with SMRs, and that announcement was panned in Ontario as those projects are essentially underway with nothing really needed from the Federal Gov anyways. Regarding export, Europe may have its problems, but to essentially right off a continent of 450 million people...

    Having heard some of Telus' ads on other platforms, they're being quite aggressive in a industry where friendly competition is the norm. Rogers offer mostly ex-Shaw cable service in Calgary whereas Telus has Fibre. Personally, I think companies should be more competitive and in this case, there...

    The SMR project is not just about electricity but is partially an industrial policy project, to have the talent and manufacturing capacity in Ontario for a future energy technology. Capital Power and the AB Government are also partnering with OPG on this in Alberta. On the MTL port, obviously...

    Was looking at a floor plan, do they not require bedrooms to have windows? I thought to call something a bedroom it needs a window or sliding glass doors, or else its a den. But this looks like two bedrooms with no windows and regular doors. EDIT: just looked into this. Apparently, if the...

    General Construction Updates

    When looking at the work schedule further, it looks like the Main Street work is done this year, so I don't think there are any closures next year for streetscape. Similarly, seems like having Enmax and Telus there now is scheduling the work together, just not concurrently, which as others...

    General Construction Updates

    It's interesting to see the city say what others have mentioned and I think the framing of this response looks worse than it actually is. The discussion of the Marda Loop disruption has probably had a negative impact to the business themselves because of the perception of the area is worse than...

    The Port of Montreal is the main export terminal on the East Coast to cross the Atlantic and the second largest port in Canada after Vancouver.

    The right wing rhetoric has definitely been worse, but the more high profile cases have been against right wing figures too. Biden/Obama/Harris didn't almost get assassinated and no one from MSNBC or some left wing commentator was gunned down at a live event. The reality is most of these cases...

    Salary retention is part of the CBA and an asset a team has. Not being willing to utilize that is similar to not spending to the salary cap. The players in question aren't Jonathan Huberdeau either, so the retention wasn't that much. And I said they're fine owners, not too different from...

    First in Minnesota and now this. We used to only hear about political violence in far away places. I hope nothing happens in the next little bit. But once something like this starts and there's copy cats, it could get out of hand. It's not possible for law enforcement to set up a perimeter for...

    Wasn't there stories about the Flames not willing to retain salary when trading players? I think they're fine owners, but doesn't seem as deeply passionate about the market as some other ones. But not every city has a young billionaire that is deeply rooted in the city like Utah.
