I remember high rise proposals for that site from the mid 90's

Biden, Obama, Trudeau and the governments of BC and Quebec were greater threats to Alberta's economy than Trump

Federal spending or hiring in Calgary does not change electoral outcomes. Federal spending or hiring in Toronto, and most of Canada, does. Regardless of party in charge. The Feds could reduce demand for housing by reducing the capital entering the housing market. If, for example, CHMC would...

Sure and the easy, but unlikely fix, would be for the Feds to reduce income taxes and the Provinces to increase income taxes and the municipalities to increase property taxes

Somehow the "Great Bear Rainforest" isn't on that map and the routing for Northern Gateways wasn't novel
