So sad for Edmonton long term… anyone hear anything about what will happen with the lease they signed in manulife?

I seem to get hit with their ad on Facebook regularly. And it always shows the rendering of both tall towers, if that means much

Stand there for five minutes until they light up their pipes? If they sat there like normal humans, all good. But that’s hardly been my experience watching druggies

This is brutal and this is why we are a joke. Spend good money on an amenity meant for families, and it’s occupied by druggies and homeless. Kick these mother fuckers off… can we not have any area that is nice and guaranteed to be free of trouble?? Is that asking too much??

The military is more ‘not crazy’ than whatever the hell we allow to happen in our stations now. I dunno, I’ve been to lots of places in Europe, such as Italy, that happily display their riffles. We need a reset and a clear message sent as to what we allow and don’t allow on public transit

I’ve learnt in life that some people don’t get a soft message. Some people need to learn by visuals and zero tolerance on certain things. I agree with thommyjo. I appreciate seeing the military type guys at certain airports and tourist attractions around the world

I think there is a decent chance that overall revenue drops if they raise the price that much for an awful experience a lot of the time

Totally agree but there definitely is a cost. I also used to cut grass during university for the city. We were on the job on day one. Now, you have to do a week or two of in class training. So to Ken’s point, this comes at a cost. The sad part is, one person told me the cost of long term...

Doesn’t it cost money to run all of this? And yes, as I said, these things are important but the vibe I got from these people is that it is over the top… to the point of turning them off. Both said they delete emails without reading them, as it is overload.

I know a couple people that work for the city who say they are bombarded with all sorts of courses to take in sensitivity and newsletters for diversity and inclusion and all sorts of other things that were never a thing in the not too distant past. Not saying these things are not important, but...

My bad, I read your last one wrong. I meant 4k per unit as in up and down, so $16k for the building. I still don’t see your math though. My quick thoughts were 4,000 would be 48,000 for the year. Knock off 20% as a quick proxy for property tax, insurance, maintenance, vacancy. Then divide that...

Yeah you need $4k per unit for this to even start to maybe make sense

Curious though, do any of the gen z here have a couple kids yet? I’m a bit older… I used to live in a condo downtown and now live in the burbs. It seems impossible to live in a condo with all the crap you need for your kids lol

To be fair, this is partly driven by their participation rate which is around 72%, compared to 68% in Edmonton, and generally lower else where in Canada

It feels like when I talk to people from Toronto, especially any one in a more competitive environment (ex banking), they are back in the office 4-5 times per week. I wonder if our government heavy work force will tend to be less

Yeah so to your point, if national is paying its PE to acquire, then CWBs earnings are not going to be accretive on their own. So you need to find synergies. Anything that is repetitive like I mentioned in my first point, will be eliminated almost immediately I am sure. In a world where your...

This is not going to end well. National paid top dollar for CWB and will need to realize synergies asap. All duplicated corporate type positions will likely be eliminated (think treasury, accounting, etc). I can see a lot of people being packaged out. I think the jobs will bleed over time until...

I actually agree with this. But as an example, they just cut parts of 153 ave. Super inconsistent.. some spots they rode over all the grass. Other spots they cut one strip and left the rest. Other spots they left a long strip in the middle, and there are not even beds they are trying to avoid...

This is essentially what I was going to say. But if you want a couple quick examples, 153 ave between 82 and 66, all the trees look dead or at the very least seem to have something very wrong with them, when compared to the ones down the road between 66 and 50. The center patches of grass on 153...

They have been dead or over grown by weeds for many years now. Can you explain this to me since I didn’t take gardening 101?
