    Water main break discussion

    I don't know what else council can do to be dealing with the current pipe issue. I am happy they prioritized this and let the people who can do the work to get the pipe back up and running, get the pipe back up running. If people are not already using as little water as possible, they're not...

    Water main break discussion

    Unless things change for how cities are funded, we have to learn to live without as many nice to haves. Personally, I think things need to change with how cities are funded.

    Water main break discussion

    Most important parts to me. "In the absence of a single accountable executive, decisions were often delayed or deprioritized, compounded by a consensus-driven culture that normalized deferral of action on critical issues.” “Ultimately, the Panel recommends a model wherein the Water Utility...

    They don't cost nothing either and I don't think here is where you need to have four stations (Shawnessy, Somerset, Silverado, and 210th Ave) so close together. Four stations in 6KM seems like too many. Especially with a multi-use pathway running alongside the train tracks. If you'd tell me...

    The Silverado Station seems so redundant... I know there are some people that would use it but at the cost of constructing a station?

    On queue, Carney is off to China next week... We are walking on hot coals no matter what we do here. Getting closer to China is risky all-around but in the short term the Trump admin is impossible to work with.

    Follow the money, and if the institutional investors are noticing a change. I'm optimistic. Mr. Central Banker might not be so bad. I remind myself, three years can feel like a long time but it isn't really that long. As we're finding out, and in reference to the above article, it is hard to...

    Isn't this the result of low flow? Or is it not that simple?

    Like you, I think GMC Stadium seems like a square peg and round hole looking at it now. But there is something there and the commentor I'm sure didn't say its further along than we think because they wanted a rise out of us. With a bubble, the field could be used 365 days (minus however long it...

    Water main break discussion

    I thought this was an own goal for Smith, my read is most people seem to understand the pipe just didn't last as long as it should have. Normally people look for someone to blame and maybe I'm misreading the situation but people seem to have accepted that shit happens.

    If history tells me anything, now is the time when the CIA does their work. I assume any influence will be less overt and more covert. People are talking Iraq; I'm thinking more Afghanistan when they were fighting the Russians.

    Is this not much worse than the modular building along 6th Ave and 10th Street? I think this is much worse.

    They're not wrong to say attendance isn't what it was. And the CFL and CPL are not major leagues that make a lot of money or any money at all. I disagree that means that they're not worth investment. Afterall some kind of outdoor (I'm not for indoor, you can bubble it in the winter if you want)...

    I didn't want to reply but felt it was important to point out that what you said is not true. CFL attendance was up last season compared to the one before (barely but it was) and Stampeders attendance increased throughout the season as the team's improvement on the field brought some fans...

    Calgary & Alberta Economy

    I want to be a little optimistic here... Seeing Rubio's media tour on Sunday, I think they (as in the people in the government/administration outside of Trump's direct influence) give him and his people little wins and things to talk about on social media but if push came to shove would not...

    I have to respectfully disagree with this point. Venue matters. These are gate driven products/leagues, if what is beyond the gate is what McMahon is you get no one but fans of the product/league. If what is beyond the gate is a modern (not even state of the art), well connected, stadium with...

    There's another shoe to drop here. The U of C has a new Dino's Football stadium in the works, meaning, I don't think the U of C wants McMahon anymore. I assume, CSEC and the City of Calgary have no interest in taking over McMahon. I would think the City wouldn't mind a bit more land for their...
