As far as I know, police in or at private events (from hockey games and concerts at Rogers Place to the Folk Festival) are paid by the venue or the promoter, not the EPS or the city (unless it's a city event in which case it's included in the event budget).

Sooo… “Edmonton needs to make its public spaces, particularly downtown, more accessible and fun”. From beginning to end the Imagine Jasper project will have taken about as long to build as the TMX pipeline expansion from here to Burnaby. All those endless summers of construction disruption in...

Daved A., I certainly wasn't disagreeing with youwhen I referenced Edmonton's council having been both dealer and pit boss in this game for a long time. Your noting that it is not a left/right thing either is perfectly correct. We have a left wing mayor now proposing to cut back on...

On one hand, it's easy to point out the shitty hand that Edmonton's council has to deal with. On the other hand, it's worth remembering that Edmonton's council had been both dealer and pit boss in this game for a long time.

^ There are 1,633,220 households in total in Alberta so 16% would be 261,315. :)

A tank of gas there and tank of gas back would be $120. If two people travelled, that's $60 each. If a family of four travelled, that's $30 each. Four people travelling by train at $100 each would be $400 in total.

I'm not even sure that 2 hours would be "a good time savings vs auto" but it might be by bus. If I want to go to Calgary, I can leave now and be there by auto in 3 hours and I have the use of my car while there instead of having to use a taxi or an Uber to get to where I want to go. Even if...

IanO’s pictorial autobiography…

Our primary arts and entertainment district is still downtown anchored by the Winspear, the Citadel, the RAM, Rogers Place and Ice District, Sir Winston Churchill Square, etc. White Avenue is home to more bars and smaller music venues like Yardbird and venues like Rapid Fire and festivals like...

We could adapt/adopt the European nomenclature for their city cores and call it Centro.

Then purposefully spoil your ballot as an expression of “none of the above”. I’ve often thought “none of the above” should be on the ballot and counted and if it reached the first past the post spot then a by-election would have to be held until that was not the case.

You have to wonder if Danielle has interviewed Kaycee and Jonathan yet?

I’m not blaming him for anything but it wouldn’t surprise me if the Province’s move was the last straw. I remember spending some time with him and his wife at a fundraiser in Macaulay just after he arrived and was impressed with his approach, his reliance in data more than instinct and his not...

^ Fair enough David… :) If nothing else, I think we’ve demonstrated that boundaries are a little bit like statistics in that they can be set to make or facilitate almost any point or opinion one wants to make.

Maybe it’s the same supplier as the RAM’s screens and they’re waiting to fix the bugs there before they make these?

^ I’m not meaning to play word games but we are talking about semantics… Firstly, you could still have your “downtown core” within a larger downtown area that would include what I listed above. Secondly, “downtown” already includes all of the legislative grounds stretching south to the river...
