As has been said before, the decline of our downtown has been a slow burn over decades, so turning it around won’t be instant. But a lot has improved, especially with the redevelopment of the former railyards.

If the rumours are true that they’ll be longer cars, 40 new vehicles to replace the 37 U2s will add almost 3 extra 5-car trains-worth of capacity, and then some with fewer cabs increasing passenger capacity on each train.

As much as I am critical of the effort (or lack thereof) to improve the investment friendliness of our downtown and better market our city, I’m not taking shit from a bunch of real estate moguls in Toronto - the same people who have absolutely tanked the livability of this country by helping...

The building where Greta Bar is across the street seems to be doing fine.

Cougars, you say? Shoot, where do I chip in for their kickstarter?

So, now that 50th Street is grade-separated at the CPKC crossing, which railway grade separation should be the next priority? 34th Ave? 51st Ave? The Whitemud ramps? Ellerslie? 75th Street or 91st Street? Or maybe an LRT grade separation - University Ave or 111th and Kingsway? My pick is 34th...

I liken it to the CTrain Red Line running in the median of Crowchild Trail in Northwest Calgary.

I mean, technically Edmonton proper borders the airport now. And when they build the third runway, it’ll be partly in Edmonton city limits.

Well, It’s pretty hidden away behind some trees.

I wouldn’t sweat this. Burger Baron has plenty of locations around the city, and this particular one is in an industrial corner where Whyte Ave becomes a freeway

It’s not unheard of. Didn’t the Blue Line West Extension in Calgary finish a year early? And that had lots of elevated and tunnelled sections.

Goddamnit, guys, I thought I was still on my game as a YEG foodie but I’m so out of the loop 😭😭😭

It’s not as exciting when it isn’t November though 😔

They still run regular-sized buses, right? Maybe they could start deploying the extra-long bendy buses fitted with luggage racks.

So here’s the funny thing: a lot of them can’t afford it. They just take out hella lines of credit and spend too much money on car payments
