It's March! That means brackets, matchups, predictions - for Manie Musicale 2026 that is (what did you think I was talking about?) - loving that it's a big deal for French/immersion students in so many places.
Yes, given that multiple reviews have occurred with public findings.
I always find Weather Network projections more moderate and accurate
Living on THE side/block that multiple neighborhoods walk to LRT on - I know the pain of snow getting packed down before I can get the blower on it and do the whole block. Have to get up at 4-5:30 sometimes
Don't worry, they'll legislate to lower the threshold again.
Not to mention, not getting gas in years, refilling it before returning it was an odyssey of gas stations closed past 11 PM on a Sunday, had to try 3 to find one open and my time was higher than an E-GMP topup at Flo Ultra would've been. But I can't get a national column published on that probably.
A few weeks ago borrowed my ex-RAV4 Hybrid from parents for 3-4 days of in town use in a cold snap without remote starter or indoor parking and... hated the experience of cold car, scraping ice off etc., loud/slow engine...
Turo rental of a '23 Ioniq 6 AWD w/ winter tires this weekend - EV9 was unavailable for the drive to Edmonton and back. May need DCFC given temps / lack of hotel charging, so stuck to E-GMP for good charge curve. Have YouTubed how the pre-CCNC pre-conditioning / maps work and all set.
You forgot never ending unsustainable sprawl
Yes but underlying issue of unsustainable development pattern and too low taxes still exists
How much did the ring road cost
The anatomical implications of those figures (where did the hand get in) are... disturbing
Hard to get new Sprawl members nowadays! So busy w/ stories that I don't have time to make proper appeals. Also I feel like I've said the same thing 1000x and am sick of hearing myself say it. Even so—if you value independent journalism, pls support our work! sprawlcalgary.fundjournalism.org/donate/
It’s less impressive when you consider I’ll be between 50-55% of consumption not counting gas furnace below -10 C. Have to “unbeefy” the house’s heat load next
It’s happening! We were sad to sell our last place after putting rooftop solar on. 10 kW DC array going up this week despite the snow. About 21 months after our move here, and thx to federal Greener Homes Loan (0% for 10 years)
Which is precisely the key argument most folks make against density. Not great
Newer areas in both AB cities are a decent density. What’s often lacking is the mixed use part without which it’s …
just more cars with less space
The subservient constitutional status of most US/Canadian cities, subject to whims of rural and suburban-biased state/provincial governments, doesn’t help
They’re probably pissed off that the riverfront is “closed” - kind of like Clover Point in Victoria
Seeing this in Canada too - “we feed them and provide the natural resources, why do the cities get all the votes?”
Yeah those shorter distances would change the calculation! Those are one way distances for me. School is painful sacrifice for French immersion - 8 could walk to the regular school 5 doors down.
3 km to school for us, 5-6 to daycare.
It’s the face covering that I avoid by putting them inside, so mine are on until at least afternoons are double digits
The wind nearly ripped / removed mine today. Good idea when it’s double digits to get rid of it, brain just not working that way in March
Excellent cargobike rain cover sailing conditions out there. Super warm so still worth it! #yycbike
The Alberta Utilities Commission has rejected a proposal for a massive rural data centre that would have consumed as much power as the city of Edmonton. It cited missing information and a lack of public consultation. thenarwhal.ca/olds-data-ce...
Most likely, the province would legislate to disallow any such thing, of course. Only referenda that advance the interests of one political base are allowed to take place.
We “e-biked till we qualified” along LRT line for our Westgate bungalow / first house purchase. Being single car/light has been easy and saved us tons
Utter lack of vision. The Ioniq 5 should be a VW product, 100% BEV re-engineered GTI/R etc.; ID.4 isn't it. Buzz is a 3 row that is utterly unimaginative as a family road tripper other than size.
Basically, Stephen Miller decides who has rights - because he just gets to allege who is a criminal and doesn't deserve rights (and yes, even duly convicted folks have rights still).
