Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I am not an idiot. I am just offering an opinion that differs from yours. I know that a lot of people on this Board hate suburbia, and given the title of the thread, that speaks volumes given that it is so offensive. Imagine if the Capital Line Thread was...

And provide taxes and jobs. Plus I thought the City wanted 15 minute communities. My daughter and her family can walk to the site. Plus there are two major multi use paths east of Heritage Valley Trail providing direct access to the site, and more being constructed on the west side as well. For...

Agreed. Even knowing the days that WS flies to YEG-KEF and return, I couldn't manage to book direct both ways this summer for the dates I wanted. The return must have been full or WS just wanted to route me through YYC out of habit!

When we moved to Edmonton, we were amazed at seeing bison up close and personal at Elk Island National Park. I think there is an opportunity to Lobby the feds to invest more at Elk Island. It would be neat to develop paved bicycle loops, for instance, which would be low impact could be an...

Amazing stat ... Hub and Spoke certainly has been good for the big 4. Unfortunately the Hub and Spoke model has been awful for YEG. We all know from flying out of YEG that service has not improved. More people drive to Calgary now, and places like Grande Prairie bypass YEG altogether and fly...

Good Life Fitness. The mega Walmart is going on Heritage Valley Trail so I imagine Canadian Tire will locate close by.

Development charges (offsite levies) could be used to assist in the City's contribution for the extension. As you get towards the airport, some industrial lands have already developed. It would be better to have the offsite levies amended before more development occurs.

The Alberta government committed approximately $73 million over five years (starting around late 2022) to support WestJet in making Calgary International Airport (YYC) its primary global hub, aiming to stimulate traffic and boost the aviation sector. This agreement includes investment in...

Yes Captain Obvious We all know about how hubs work and how YEG isn't a hub. We aren't expecting to ever have the same level of service of any of the hubs. We just want consistent daily flights to a few more key US hubs like ORD and god forbid another flight to Europe (oh yes something more than...

Thanks for sharing this information. YHZ, YOW and YWG do very well in comparison to YEG even though they have 3M to 4M less passengers per year. A lot has been said respecting YEG traffic not back at pre-covid levels. I know there are lots of YYC folks that follow this thread. Does anyone have...

Correct regarding people wanting one stop to destinations around the world. And before the YYC crowd attacks, this means actually flying more than 40 minutes on your first leg and not having a 3+ hour layover for your second flight. Ottawa's airport is really quiet, doesn't even have flights...

That is what they are saying . . . YEG is nothing . . . Calgary = Alberta . . .

It is just tough knowing that no matter how large the Edmonton metro gets, we will always be a spoke. 1.7M metro and growing . . . and it appears that YEG metro will never be enough because WS/AC love our bums filling seats from their hubs.

Accept the awful response to the snowfall. Don't need to learn . . . don't need to do better. Got it.

Full disclosure I live beyond the Henday and commute to Red Deer. Listening to people report that our Downtown is not cleaned up WEEKS after a snow event is shocking and quite frankly, embarrassing for the City. Windrow and removal of snow from downtown streets should be done in two days. Other...

I think WS probably has good data which suggests it doesn't need to provide good service to Edmonton. WS is only concerned with filling planes from Calgary. It doesn't matter how big Edmontons market will become, because until airlines stop embracing the hub and spoke model, Edmontonians will...

Agreed.

Is this being strategic enough? I would think in this day and age, that people covet their LinkedIn profiles? Why not be strategic with criticism of Faction Projects on their LinkedIn? In a simple search, I have come up with three potential company personnel to target: Bruce Chapman, Director...
