If they do update their stock image photography I can only say “about time”… :)

^^^^^ Hoping not to see a replay of the season opener. Funny how that game looks so much more important in the standings now 77/78 games later.

^ Some of us know exactly why. While it might be said that there is more than one reason, almost all of them have the same root cause.

Sooo… It now looks like our property taxes in Edmonton will go up 8.7% this year, 7% next year and 6 7% the year after. 23.75% in 3 years! Imagine the uproar if income taxes or sales taxes or carbon taxes were to escalate at that pace…

^ Take the money that would be wasted if spent on demolition (whether provincial or municipal) and put it toward repurposing. There's a lot of "but we can't repurpose it because of the asbestos" that fails to recognize that the asbestos has to be fully abated prior to and during demolition...

Mayor and Councillors, It was interesting to see the concerns now being expressed regarding the direction and achievability for Exhibition Lands given many of us in the industry have had similar concerns for a long time. It is also worth noting that some of those concerns come from some of the...

^ How many more decades do we need to "all ruminate collectively" before those with responsibility accept it and deal with it?

McDavid apparently out "day to day" with a "lower body injury"... https://edmontonjournal.com/sports/hockey/nhl/cult-of-hockey/oilers-bring-the-hat-trick-kid-back-to-edmonton-but-where-will-he-fit-in-line-up

I said the next city manager will be the 5th and I started with Al Maurer as the 1st.

^^ They'll be doing interior demolition (flooring, partitions, finishes etc.), not the building. ^^^ https://growlending.ca/our-team/

An interesting - and pretty accurate - take on the responsibilties and relationship between the City Manager and City Council. https://urbanaffairs.ca/frankly/thou-shalt-not-hire-a-city-manager-in-thine-own-image/ Not counting the current and previous interim holders of the office, whoever is...

While the focus has been on McDavid's race to another Art Ross Trophy and Hyman's race to 50 (now 60?) and the team closing in on first in the division, it's interesting to take note of the fact that 5 of the top 14 plus/minus leaders in the entire league at the moment are Edmonton Oilers (2nd...

^. That was before today’s games. This is after: :

The problem is also made worse by interminably long light sequences that can leave you standing for minutes on end (and those scramble intersections make it worse when you have to wait through two sequences…. And why are so many left turn lanes given first priority over pedestrians at the start...
