    Edmonton International Airport (EIA/YEG)

    I don't think a 40 seat coach bus running an express line between YEG to, let's say ICE district, with a stop at the U of A, wouldn't see demand. YEG flies on average 20k passengers every day, I find it hard to believe that we couldn't get 240-300 people to ride it each way every day. For...

    New Stadium / Arena?

    https://edmontonjournal.com/news/local-news/major-league-soccer-edmonton-oilers-whitecaps Maybe another Edmonton-based billionaire could be interested in building a new stadium and relocating the franchise... I for once would absolutely LOVE taking that away from Vancouver.

    Edmonton Nightlife (past and present)

    I'll speak for myself and my circle (including older millennial friends with teenage/young adult kids, such as my partner, and some younger millennials), I feel it has a lot more to do with how their social interactions come about, as well as what you pointed out regarding the interest in...

    Edmonton Nightlife (past and present)

    You've hit something there. Younger generations are not going out as much, especially Gen X and Alpha (and many younger millenials), not because they can't afford it, but because there's a cultural change happening, which was only exacerbated by COVID. I will sometimes spend more money having...

    Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

    It is kinda of the same logic we have heard from big business owners for well over a century. They feel "oppressed" and "mistreated" when people who they see as less important start receiving any sort of improved treatment (not even equitable, just some improvement). Whenever I hear arguments...

    Edmonton Oilers

    Some twitter chatter and also some people within Oilersnation who have inside tracks with the organization have said something along these lines. Apparently the win yesterday masked it a lot, but it was yet another poor performance by him, especially on goals 1 and 4.

    Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

    Ambulances, police and fire can use the low floor LRT RoW to move around if needed. Busses either neve drove in those RoWs or were replaced by the LRT, I don't see your point here. Most streets downtown are prioritized for private vehicles. In fact, most streets in the entire city are...

    Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

    go nowhere for private motorized vehicles, you mean? And if some streets not being all prioritized for private vehicles makes people simply disregard the rules that have been established AND well signaled, they should not be on the road. The level of entitlement from drivers is absolutely...

    Tower 101 | 175m | 50s | Regency Developments | DER + Associates

    Unless they go bigger with a tower here, if someone could build while still remaining in their current place and move afterwards. And who knows, they could sell it to another hotel chain or something...

    Universiade-pavilion aka 'The Butterdome' - envelope renewal

    Downtown Crime

    The perception of Granville being better than our downtown, as far as disorder and whatnot, is mostly due to the fact that it's also a busier street, so more eyes on the road and all. But having lived in the area for a while, and still visiting every now and then for work, if you happen to be in...

    Edmonton Real Estate Market

    Wouldn't be bad on the developer side, but with unemployment as high as it is, a frozen minimum wage and no prospects of improvement in the short term, it would be absolutely terrible for most people.

    Edmonton Real Estate Market

    🤔 I am puzzled... Are you implying this is somehow a bad indicator simply because we're at the same cost range as Regina and Winnipeg?

    Downtown Crime

    Also the perception of disorder is a lot different because they have more people out and about and the disorder and drug use goes more unnoticed in most areas outside DTES. They also have much more crime issues in the suburbs than Edmonton does (notably Surrey's gang activity).

    Alberta Politics

    If the NDP had been elected and was making the same kinds of attacks on democracy the UCP is I would be first in line to sign recall petitions for my MLA. Also, I don't see how a process that involves collecting tens of thousands or individual signatures, then triggers AN ELECTION is...
