When I heard of recent challenges with Honda Celebration of Light in Vancouver, I thought it must be because there is no entrance fee. Well here we are with same issue in Calgary www.thestar.com/news/canada/...
Calgary GlobalFest pauses ticket sales as affordability, politics, squeeze festivals
CALGARY - A staple Calgary summer festival is temporarily closing the ticket-sale tent flap as it struggles to survive, becoming yet one more party-planner walking a fraying financial tight rope

LOL. We need a made-in-Alberta Political Party Name Generator.
So Alberta's latest proposed law would:
👉 Take power over citizen-led referendums from the chief electoral officer & give it to cabinet.
👉 Ban new political parties from using certain words in their names, including: 'conservative,' 'democratic,' 'liberal,' 'Republican,' and 'wild rose.'

Why does Calgary Cllr Chabot dislike transit so much? Especially when his Ward 10 constituents are transit users? Someone please help me to understand this...
Council is now debating an amendment from Ward 10 Coun. Andre Chabot that aims to cut transit for kids under 12 and eliminate the downtown free fare zone on the CTrain. It would also increase a single ride fare to $4.

I am here for “Canada’s Team” in all championship games except if it involves Oilers #fistshake
Here's a question, are the Vancouver Whitecaps now "Canada's Team" since they'll be representing Canada in the MLS final against Miami?
Or does it only work for Toronto's teams?

Blanket upzoning has been in effect in Calgary for 15 months… barely time to build an infill home.
Why do people expect housing affordability to have been solved that fast by this upzoning that clearly requires more time?
Did they expect 40,000 housing units to suddenly appear?🤷♂️
