It'll be nice when the construction is done and that stretch of 12th is back to normal.

4200 residential units in downtown alone is pretty darn impressive + another 3K u/c around the downtown inner city. If we keep up this kind of growth, downtown/inner core won't be recognizable in 10 years.

I haven't seen the large sign yet, but it's a win overall with the new sidewalk and landscaping.

Sort of YYC related.

That would be a huge game changer for local tourism, but also to cement Calgary even further as the largest hub between YYZ and YVR.

Country Thunder has attracted good crowds in the past, maybe it's an excuse or a combo of factors?

True the bar is super low, but this is so far above the bar. This development would still be a fantastic project as an inner city renewal project.

But, it isn’t magic. Estimating park visitors when the park is already there and there have been visitors for decades, is one thing. It’s another thing to predict ridership of high speed rail when we don’t have anything even close to it. How many other countries have built high speed rail lines...

The problem is the report illustrating the benefits. We don't know how they've arrived at these conclusions, and whether they're remotely correct. How can anyone properly predict the costs and ridership, especially the ridership, when we don't have existing passenger traffic? Surrealplaces put...

Maybe that flight to Dublin worked out, and I've never booked any flights to or from Dublin so I'm not familiar with the options, but I haven't found that to be the case for any other European destinations. I've booked around dozen flights (all to Europe and one to Asia) for my parents and so...

Yeah, I expect the area will be a lot different in a few years.

Using their corridor or even their existing lines would be far easier, but the province wants to avoid that because of the complications that come with CPKC. It becomes a cost vs complications decision. I don't know if it's feasible, but to start with, the easiest solution might be a small train...

I'm looking forward to seeing 104th after the construction is finished and the line is running. For years 104th has been mostly stagnant, but this will probably be the catalyst to spur on more development.

It depends on where you're flying to, I'm not sure how you're finding avoiding YYC to Europe more convenient to go elsewhere. Same for flight times, how are you finding better flight times from YEG to Europe? I know KLM flies directly there, but it's always more expensive, and flight times are...

Some interesting stats related to employment numbers.
