    Federal Politics

    I will never understand why they went with a carbon tax. They're so politically charged and as we have seen get a lot of people very angry. I get that a revenue neutral carbon tax is a lot cheaper and easier to implement than other policies, however I think you could find that money elsewhere...

    Edmonton Oilers

    Had me shaking in my boots when they called that high stick that was clearly DeMelo's. Then Zach went to work in OT. I was disappointed with the close out there and I hope it doesn't become a theme where the Oilers struggle to shut down teams and hold the fort when up a couple goals. Happy to...

    Edmonton Oilers

    Terrible, terrible reffing performance. Both calls on Vinnie were absolutely awful, refs despise him for seemingly no reason. Pickard played terribly, you can't give up 4 goals on 15 shots. Those Chychrun goals were tough, on the penalty kill and the pass gets through to an open guy for the one...

    Best Cities Ranking

    I've added Australia and New Zealand and Melbourne overtook the top spot, I'm in the process of working out the UK, France, the Netherlands, Singapore and Japan.

    West Edmonton Mall

    I feel like once VL West opens, we'll start hearing about major WEM renovations, probably with some TOD style towers and such. I think the main thing holding WEM back from really reworking itself is its sheer size. You kind of have to renovate in stages, or do different sections of the mall as...

    Best Cities Ranking

    I though I'd drop this here as it is sort of relevant to this thread: I recently for fun did a quick spreadsheet to calculate a ranking of the "Best Cities in North America" with metro populations greater than a million. I used stats for: walk score, transit score, bike score, cost of living...

    Downtown

    Are they only showing licensed lots? Because that map definitely does not show every surface lot in the core.

    Downtown

    I know this is the downtown thread but just wanted to add to the litter discussion. The Whyte Ave situation was disgusting this morning, Tons of garbage strewn all over the sidewalks and streets.

    Edmonton Oilers

    The Oilers have signed Connor Ungar from Brock University, a goalie having a great year. .932 Sv% 2.15 GAA through 26 GP I know nothing about this kid but those are some pretty solid numbers and I don't mind taking a flyer on a guy who might end up being pretty good, especially not at a...

    LRT Safety

    Yes, absolutely inadequate social programs and support are a major, and likely the biggest contributor. However, the rising cost of housing (yes even in relatively affordable Edmonton) is still a major factor pushing people onto the streets.

    114 Street Development | ?m | 6s | Leston Holdings | Arc Studio

    The areas immediately adjacent to downtown do have a pretty good mix (Riverdale, Kensington Market, The Annex, etc), but I think @Platinum107 is talking about the TOD nodes a little farther out from the core. If you look at North York, Humber Bay, Eglington-Yonge, etc. It basically goes from...

    LRT Safety

    I don't mind this idea, I have imagined a somewhat similar potential solution for the homelessness crisis: I always wondered why there wasn't some sort of system where, if you were homeless (or just struggling to get by) you could have the option to work for municipalities (or maybe even other...

    LRT Safety

    I'm going to agree with the general sentiment here that police should be deployed at transit stations as a preventative measure. However, I do have some concerns. This isn't going to solve the problem of crime and disorder in general, it's just going to displace it. My guess is, if we did this...
