That is debatable. The most problematic stations are the underground/DT ones, which is also where most of the people who cause issues board initially. Having fare gates in those alone would already help a lot, although it would not be impossible to adapt the whole system for it. Lots of places...

I also hate to cave, but at this point, it would be a matter of protecting the investment that was made, imo, and if that is with adding crossing arms, so be it. This is absolutely ridiculous, and the drivers who managed to be stupid enough to hit the trains should lose their right to drive...

We all know what the issues are, and the many different solutions possible for this issue. I will die on the hill that we should have fare gates, and I do not buy into the argument that it is too expensive. I honestly believe that the amount of money lost on fare evasion that would be recovered...

May the politics gods hear you, amen.

I don't think I've seen anyone advocate for it here. What I see is a lot of us concerned that this will be an inevitable fate if we don't get another bridge to replace it, so we can lower the load on the HLB and extend its lifespan.

A lot of their inventory is Class A. I honestly think this project there is not gonna go forward in its current form at all. They might end up with either one tall tower that has a hotel and then some office or residential, or two shorter towers. But I definitely can't see it going forward like...

I feel like the big "problem" with getting a new bridge funded is that while all of those projects have a tangible and easily measurable impact in a larger area (save for the overpass, but that was the cheapest one of these), a new bridge would be a comparatively small project, with a limited...

Honestly, I have been following Calgary threads talking about these towers and some of the talks are sounding a lot like our Aldritt Tower conversations went here. I will honestly be surprised if they go ahead in their current form.

And no Parks, Stationlands or Falcon towers

I honestly do not understand that either. My partner and I are looking into a 3bdrm + den, 1800sqft townhome (including basement) right now, for a family of 4, and that would be plenty of space for all of us, and might even be too big once the kids move out. All that I think about is how much...

Being attacked by you is like a badge of honor at this point, so thanks.

There might be the odd one that's trickier here and there, but considering how part of the recent overall targets for this administration also involve "brain drain", especially focusing on competition with the US, I do not see major institutions being heavily affected.

We were having this conversation earlier in the thread. Marigold seems to have upped the pace over the past 3-4 quarters and, of they keep it up, we're looking at 7-8 more quarters of construction, plus commissioning.

You are missing the point entirely, but at this point, trying to have a productive conversation with you is like talking to a brick wall. Institutions like UBC, U of A, etc did not ramp up the number of students they admit to their programs (like the countless no-name colleges all over the...

I can't wait for the 8-game home stand in January to make up for the 16 out of 24 road games to start the season. Oilers and Canucks (in that order) have had the worst schedules to start the season in the entire league, with the most road games and most back-to-backs and most road back-to-backs.

I will say that I have relatively high hopes that testing will take less than a year, considering that Marigold seems to be learning a lot from TransEd's mistakes. I will not be surprised if by spring 2028 we have the line up and running

Again, larger, reputable institutions are not suffering from the effects of these cut-backs nearly enough for this argument to make sense. These institutions' main sources of funding are endowment funds or provincial government transfers, not tuition. Additionally, as me, and others here have...

It is not small. The temporary resident population reached a peak of almost 10% of the population at one point (and then down to around 7%). It is not only the international students, it's their kids and spouses (and other family members in some cases). Larger, more repurable Universities like...

Tall would be nice, but a high quality shorter high-rise or even a midrise could become much more of a landmark and create much more interest from a street view perspective than an uninspired tall building. I'd trade a 50 story glass box for a 20 story architectural masterpiece any day of the...

I took a couple of courses at Norquest in 2023 and my experience correlates a lot with your perception of what was happening in Sault Ste. Marie. My experience with the U of A and McEwan was completely different, both in terms of the amount of international students and their dedication and...
