No disagreement there. I thought the total cost was the ask. Purely satire beyond that.

The number that was floating around was $5M. Or, $454,545 per letter. Super unremarkable tag line, I thought "'Be part of the energy" was very clever. It shows reference to the industry people think of when it comes to Calgary while implying it is a fun place to be/visit. Other ones I am sure...

Are there any other avgeeks on the forum? This is a point I forgot about. It's funny how things ended up playing out in that regard. I flew on a Max 8 and a 737 NG back to back recently and it is almost laughable how much louder the old equipment is. My stepfather was a long time pilot who...

This is a really great point on this. Westjet only has 7 of the 787 type in their fleet I believe, the 737 is a much more common type rating amongst their pilots, thus it is easier to schedule these across their routes and save the 787 for routes which it makes most sense. With the hub and spoke...

Not sure which thread to put this in, but it seems appropriate to be shared. Council has a special meeting today to discuss to blanket zoning plebiscite. https://www.calgary.ca/council/meetings/council-calendars.html?trumbaEmbed=view%3Devent%26eventid%3D173451839

Really unfortunate if the base zoning change goes to a plebiscite. The opposition to it has essentially outlined a large part of the problem in their reasoning for dislike, asset values. Calgary needs more affordable housing, R-CG allows for this to be reality through the reduced level of...

I really like what Truman is doing in the west end of the city. Hopefully the extra density helps get the blue line extended, and although a pipe dream another floor of park and ride space apart from the top would be welcome at 69th Street station. It seems like the reserved stalls are...

The whole interchange has to be one of the worst in the city. The SB Deerfoot to EB Glenmore loop hopefully gets addressed.

Sad to see the 787 off that route. Love flying on it.

Noticed there was work happening on the Deerfoot overpass of Glenmore Trail. Anybody know if this is maintenance or improvement? The only info I can find is a 2022 feasibility study on the interchange.

The bylaw seems quite arbitrary. From what I gather, and this part could be wrong, the money goes to the business from the purchase of a bag? This essentially puts an additional tax on using a drive thru or any sort of food delivery. I would be more understanding if the fees collected went to...

The minister stated in an interview yesterday that Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba would not have any reduction in international student visas based on the policy. As was mentioned by someone yesterday, I expect this is the first of several announcements in coming weeks.

It seems like our plowing and snow clearing is worse this year than previous. Purely anecdotal but it appears people in my area are not even bothering to shovel snow off their sidewalks this year. Similar story when driving in the city I find my car scraping over tons of snow on main roads.

BH would be a fantastic spot to put residential in location wise, although I feel it is a massive pipe dream. Those towers have such little vacancy and are one of few office spaces that seem to lease up relatively easily. I could see another large tenant occupying the CNRL space shortly after...

That page is pure gold. At least they have outlined that there is a solution to avoiding all the traffic, the MAX bus lane looks awfully uncongested in their renders.

I grew up in various neighborhoods in the area, this development makes so much sense regardless of the community sentiment. I have never used that strip of grass for anything, nor can I see why anyone else would as the reservoir is ~300M away. This area does have a very strong opposition to...

Pretty remarkable meeting today. People are very passionate about their "park", even though none of the slide decks showed the actual strip of land in question in their presentation deck. Other notable takeaways are that 14th and 90th are now animal corridors and that reservoir views are...
