Are those jobs the greatest? Absolutely not, but no city in Canada, and particularly in Alberta right now, can be shunning thousands of jobs simply because they're not exactly fancy. Edmonton has a big issue in terms of job market right now, which is having way too many highly specialized...

MAGA lite my ass... The UCP is honestly managing to be worse than the OG MAGA

I had forgotten about that... What a sham... He can't get out of this business soon enough. Go back to doing SFH in the middle of nowhere

I am no longer even marginally related to the industry, but It makes me feel weird speculating on a friend's company LMFAO.

Exactly. There is also one point that they forget to mention about this comparison. Calgary has so much vacant office space that the square footage represented by percentual difference between Edmonton's and Calgary's vacancy rates (around 7% difference, 22% vs 29% respectively) equates to...

He says he is, but I'll believe when it's sold. I do not trust Raj at all

I would still have preferred if we had gotten those jobs. Idc what we call them... Call Centres, IT, Space Janitors... That means jobs for people in need and money circulating in the economy...

Dude, at this point I am convinced you're just rage baiting. We should all just ignore you and let you fade into irrelevance. I know I am done. Doesn't matter how many times someone has a proper argument to counter your points, you always come back with a new strawman.

I would kill for a YXU if it means I can connect from Kelowna and not have to deal with flying Pearson.

Do you even know how urban Gondolas are set up? They do not rely on a single cable, it's a whole array, with backup cables and safety precautions. In places all over the world, rescuers will access the lifts through those, in order to rescue passengers, especially in terrain 10x more challenging...

And what in the actual hell makes you think that this was not considered by the people proposing it? Do you really thing they were just like: Let's throw some rope across the river, put some glass boxes on it and hope for the best? Just because you haven't seen it, doesn't mean these things...

Typo, my apologies

Liberal government survives the confidence vote by 170 yays to 160 nays and 4 abstentions. 2 abstentions from the NDP (Nunavut) and 2 abstentions came from the Conservative Party, mind you, from Alberta. Speculations from a few house insiders is that on top of Matt Jenereaux's resignation...

In an ideal world, yes, that would be neat, but it is a political hot potato as it is, with no City money going into it. Think about how contentious the Valley Line was, or bike lanes are. Most people (average suburbanites) would only see this as a vanity project, if it were to be done by the city.

When we were working on the project, part of the capital funding would've come from federal funding, which is a normal thing even for privately owned infrastructure projects. What I was referring to was operational subsidy, which could've not been applied for before the project was greenlit by...

As far as the connection to ETS, conversations were ongoing, but teir biggest issue was, again, having to take over operations and footing the bill to avoid interruptions, should the private enterprise go under. At the time, one solution that was being studied to alleviate that risk was federal...

It is an interesting perspective, but I would argue, as @David A Mentioned, that it is not a really good comparison. The general makeup of Canadian cities' urban fabric is vastly different than those from anywhere except North America, Australia, New Zealand and maybe parts of England and South...

And yet, there was an assortment of investors ready to pull the trigger should it have been approved by the City Council. The business case is there, even if at a fare slightly higher than an ETS bus fare, and mind you, that was back in 2022, still during COVID, when the investment landscape was...

I find it weird to speculate on this, with Ian being on the forum and all, but I also feel like this might be a (very interesting) strategy to make bank and test the market for what may be a bigger, landmark project down the line, all while also helping create better conditions for that to be...

LMFAO I don't even bike, due to a knee injury. You're an advocate against anything that might benefit the city as a whole. The park, the bike lanes, transit... If it's not car-centric, it's bad.
