    So I'm wrong then? Or I'm a bit confused. It isn't that concrete costs more and City employees' wages go up it is that the City, on top of those increases, is spending more money and becoming less and less efficient. In this case I am not thinking about individual property and how some...

    Isn't the Old Navy across from Chapters? I haven't been to Chinook in maybe 10 years, I'm a millennial, I haven't updated my wardrobe since I was 25.

    RICK BELL RAN FOR OFFICE! AND LOST! There is a higher power. I imagine Rick watching Newsmax and writing in single-sentence thought-paragraphs for the Herald. I don't doubt his intelligence to play to the audience directly in front of him. Also... Can anyone confirm if it is this simple why...

    The train really does have that bad of a reputation... too bad. To what I've seen the University doesn't have a "downsides of the urban experience" issue and it is on the LRT line. Calgary Transit really needs to undertake a a campaign to improve the C-Train's perception. I think about this in...

    I love that Bell is the epitome of the Principal Skinner meme... " Is it me who is wrong? No, it is them." Dude, this isn't a Conservative city. I'd say Calgary is pretty split down the middle. This council looks like it is going to reflect that.

    Shoppers moving away from street facing is an odd move to me... Also "three new athleisure tenants", I thought that fad had died? The larger-format section also mentioned Nordstrom's space: For Nordstrom’s former space. “We’re in negotiations with three users—one for the upper level, and we’re...

    Green Line LRT | ?m | ?s | Calgary Transit

    Use the 1st Street SW underpass. Doing so would open you up to a shallow cut and cover option. A low floor cut and cover might be even more shallow than a high floor, I would think you would save a a couple metres. In this scenario... Do not worry about accounting for a Stephen Ave subway...

    We're saying council has gone conservative majority. Meanwhile, this foghorn cannot stop whining. Sorry for linking a bell article. https://calgaryherald.com/opinion/columnists/bell-calgary-election-calgarians-did-not-rise-up-against-city-hall-again

    Oh you're right about ward 1, damn, a 106 votes with A Better Calgary now in the lead.

    I do think there's more going on, it does mention tree removal. So I assume there's larger site prep happening here AND then they're adding some grass.

    I have to disagree the continuous line blender has not worked at all. It has resulted in one lucky win and one fine effort. Maybe giving players, a chance to put a couple periods or a couple games of chemistry together would help with the offense? When you don't know your linemate it makes it...

    By my glance at who's ahead my count of progressive and conservative councilors looks like... Progressive Ward Councilour: 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 12. Conservative Ward Councilour: 2, 6, 10, 11, 13, 14. So, 8-6, as you say.

    What didn't help was the coach scratching him after he was ripped in the media. That's piling on. That Huska contract extension looks to have been a bit premature.

    Stephen Avenue Place Revitalization | 155m | 40s | Slate

    If they thought things were bad before, wait until the elevated Green Line cuts this building off. The lower property tax should at least lessen the burden. Now on the other hand if this building and it's +15 is well integrated into a 7th Ave elevated Green Line station and the adjacent 3rd...

    I wonder how temporary this will be. It definitely isn't a sure thing that this will need to be removed. Money well spent.

    I think you actually can vote twice, if you voted in the advanced polls and on election day, it would just be your later ballot that would be the one that counts. I recall reading something like that.

    Respect and appreciate last night's effort, but they're simply not good enough. The required winning percentage to get to where they ended up last year (96) points is .626 hockey. Or winning 47 of their remaining 75 games. That would put them in the top six teams of the league, if you're using...

    I think everyone had to sign the form. There was also nothing stopping someone from voting twice. I'm not sure what the audit process is but from what I saw you could've voted in the advanced vote and then voted again on election day. With fives tables of voter rolls at my voting location there...
