Heck, if they just give Mr. T a few more nice participation trophies, they will probably be fine. For some reason I feel FIFA understands well how to deal with corrupt authoritarians.

Well they may be getting a bit desperate now that their favourite scapegoat for all their problems took a walk in the snow a year ago. Also whatever their attempt at gotcha here is kind of ridiculous, the water line was put in decades before Nenshi was mayor and the problem happened after he...

The modest number of vehicles allowed should allay fears that they will flood the market, but it still provides a chance to move ahead on this and resolve the problem.

Dental clinics can be a gold mine, so they took the spot because they can afford it. I also feel it doesn't add much, but maybe the dentists feel it is more prestigious for them. Perhaps some more typical restaurant, bar or retail tenants looked at it and hesitated because the cost was higher.

I somewhat agree, but would put that differently. It is partly about trying to respond to things people are concerned about, some of these are more immediate concerns.

It was a nice little skating area for the last few years. It would be really good if someone from Ice District could update us on this.

There was a time several years ago I remember seeing a lot of shady looking guys on those low kid like bikes with big handle bars, not sure if that time has passed.

Yes, I also noticed Winnipeg is getting close and Quebec is not far behind either. While we are at it, how about Victoria for a CFL team? Isn't its CMA population bigger than Kelowna's and there are other good size communities on Vancouver Island too.

Well the three of four kids per household under 10 or 15 years old back then didn't all have cars parked on the street.

The solution to Alberta's economic woes is not producing more oil and another pipeline. Oil companies are already increasing production now, but not jobs as they become more efficient partly due to lower oil prices...

The big 3 have been in Canada for around a century. Will they be wiped out? Maybe or maybe not. For now we are still tied to the US and Mexico through geography, history and CUSMA. Are we instead going to throw out lot in with a country that just a few years ago was arresting Canadians and...

A noble sentiment, one might think this, but nope not really. Politically, people whose jobs are threatened are motivated. If their numbers are large enough and they are in a place where their votes have an impact (ie. close races) governments will do what they can to preserve those jobs.

People aren't going to watch to support FIFA any more than people going to an NHL game are going to support Betman. Kenney seemed to go out of his way to put up obstacles for this before, thank goodness he's gone now. It would be nice to see more bigger world class events here again, this is a...

The priority is to preserve jobs.

Newer hotels would have more appeal and draw more people. You can't improve revenue just with the same old mostly tired hotel stock from the 1970's.
