I read that 60% of the infrastructure in Canada is in cities like Edmonton and yet cities have only 10% of the taxing capacity and apparently this country is very different than the rest of the western world in this regard. It's tough for cities to plan when it relies primarily on grants and ad...

Well here we go again? Ha Does this mean a coaching change in November followed by record winning streak and a berth in the Stanley Cup Finals?

I had to do a search. Tim Uppal Tim Uppal is the Member of Parliament for Edmonton Mill Woods and the Deputy Leader for the Conservative Party of Canada. He previously served as the Minister of State for Democratic Reform and the Minister of State for Multiculturalism during Stephen Harper’s...

I'd say those numbers indicate many people are here. But there is no reason to go to city centre mall or Ice District or 104 st or Jasper Ave or Rice Howard Way to shop - there is nothing. The rock climbing gym on 105 Ave does well. Not sure about the rec arena next to Rogers. In terms of...

On to the 4th floor

No kidding, that is a lot of people in the dt area not including workers, residents and visitors.

Also keep in mind the CPC has had weak leaders at the helm. I don't know anything about Edmonton's current conservative MPs at all and I follow politics, haha. I was kind of thinking Cummings might have had a shot at a minister position if elected. I don't know who would be that person from here.

With an assist from Dylan Holloway. And it was actually the tie goal.

Further to the point above, the point I always remember was from the Strathcona County RCMP when their annual costs were shared at a public meeting I was at a few years ago. Policing costs that Strathcona County budgets were significantly lower than what a similar size city like Red Deer pays -...

Edmonton is NOT considering a toll or some kind of mileage tax.

Lost Lavoie, who had pretty good pre-season, on waivers to VGK and Skinner moving down to 3rd line due to poor pre-season. Janmark moving up to 2nd line for now. I guess Holloway has been impressive for the Blues. Not sure about Broberg.

Yup, when people were in Edmonton for the winter cycling conference in Feb, we did a large group walk to the Ice District and this space in particular and highlighted the different events that take place here. People thought that was a great use of vacant space that provides a lot of opportunity...

I think the ask is to have the province better support the city on some of its infrastructure that is a key part of people's daily commutes into the city from the region. Or maybe some additional regional cooperation - like what was done with the International Airport?

It's so frustrating to see crap like that.

I notice the same thing in other smaller centres. With the amount of people living in downtown Edmonton (not including people working, visiting, coming in for events), doesn't that still equate to more people than who go to downtown Lethbridge? Are lease rates cheaper there? Less options...

Great map - thanks for sharing and deciding to do that as an assignment. If we're currently in that modal share you expect (2-3%) I guess we are on the money in terms of our $100 million capital spend from 2023-26 in active transportation. But that will need to continue as we catch up from...

Do you think police have the current resources to do that? Or that they are not using or prioritizing their existing resources well enough?

On any given day, 32 per cent of the traffic on city roads comes from regional residents — those who do not call Edmonton home. The remaining 68 per cent of drivers live in Edmonton. Conversely, usage of regional roads outside the city have 9.1% of Edmontonians. “I found it shocking. I was...

Speaking of athletes with mental illness, Clara Hughes, Olympic medalist in both summer and winter games (speedskating and track cycling) is so amazing. Her dad had an alcohol addiction and another undiagnosed mental illness and was abusive. She had PTSD and depression as a result and turned to...

Agree with this post but also add that addiction IS also a mental illness. In fact many people with mental illness suffer from multiple illnesses - such as anxiety or depression as well as alchol or drug addiction. Why? Because, in part, people look at self medicating with alcohol or drugs...
