So, how much has Landmark donated to Mr. Cartmell's campaign?

 

[archited]

too much and not enough!

The pond in Blatchford looks disgusting with all the algae in it, who wants to live in front of that? Thommyjo, I walked up that road yesterday and debated on whether I should continue and climb up the hill, I decided that it was not worth the risk of getting in trouble.
Overall, development at Blatchford this summer has been underwhelming… again!

Welcome to the Edmonton area. That's what ponds look like at the moment barring some extremely weird water chemistry, a complete lack of waterfowl, or golf course level manicuring.

I don’t know if they have an aerator in that pond but if not it would help

I can get opposing the rule, but halting *all* future connections is just stupid. If homebuilders want to connect, let them.

I wrote a couple paragraphs about what the rule is actually about and how Cartmell is misrepresenting what is happening, but decided to delete it and just let this pass through committee next week.

Same. Cartmell isn't even on the Committee, so I figured what's the point.

Cartmell? Misrepresenting material facts for cynical political gain? I am shocked! Shocked that there is gambling going on at this establishment!

It looks like he is the chair of the Committee, isn't he? The rest of the Committee is Paquette, Salvador, Stevenson and Teng though, so I am not concerned.

You are absolutely correct. Coffee is not working this morning.

There isn't currently an aerator. The aerator would help with some factors (dissolved CO2), but it is a drainage pond and runoff water tends to be nutrient rich. So too are the waste products of the noble Branta canadensis.

Bodies of water that manage not to be highly eutrophic around here tend to be reservoirs or very deep relative to their surface area. Naturally oligotrophic lakes in Alberta tend to occur more towards the mountains because having a rocky lakebed and being fed by rivers with rocky beds helps immensely.

I kind of like that our drainage pond looks a lot more like the kind of slough you get in hummocky moraine topography than a water hazard on a golf course or a farmer's dugout. But unfortunately eutrophication is a rather authentic aspect.

There's still no building permit issued for the EcoDen build, but there's some equipment on-site now. I wonder if the city told them to expect a permit soon?
