Well if Smith gets leadership we can say bye-bye to any new investments in healthcare for a while. Might put this site at risk too.

^ Or at least health care in Edmonton. Or any other sort of investment in Edmonton I would guess.

I think Edmonton does a good job of deterring investment on its own (see the Gondola thread). Cant give all the credit to the provincial government in this case

Just flew overhead of the site and NO ground excavating equipment was on site. Either the contractor got skidded…..no name company OR?

Contractor was just for site prep work, which @Airboy's comment sounds like it's finished and now it's a political bullet in the UCP's gun for next year's election.

I'm wondering why the main transit center is not right next to the hospital, there is an empty field in between...

There will be an LRT stop next to the hospital, but it makes more sense to retain the transit centre/park and ride along Ellerslie/135th and close to the AHD.

Just drove by…..the few excavators were silent, lots of water pipe was stacked up and what dirt they did move was 3ft high of weeds. I’d be pissed if that female version of Trump politicized this new facility and made sure us YEG’ers got on our knees and begged her……

Probably wants to make it a private clinic.

Would that be a Big kick in the .... if she cancelled this. Would definitely help the NDP in Edmonton.

They don’t need help in Edmonton

Maybe unofficially canceled?

Makes a ton of logical sense for the UCP to cancel this hospital either silently or not...its not in Calgary.Maybe unofficially canceled?
