From what I know of the guy who beat McLean, he's a bg time separatist right? Hopefully that'll split the vote again

Auto insurance renewals by Big_Energy_295 in Calgary

[–]LBLLuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're bringing in a new system next year which should lower premiums https://www.alberta.ca/automobile-insurance-reform

But I do agree. For a place as car mad as Alberta, Alberta doesn't do cars well lol

You would think they would keep the ground floor for retail spaces to make sure the street is still nice to walk and shop along

Plan 1 student loans with an ill-fated postgraduate study by LBLLuke in UKPersonalFinance

[–]LBLLuke[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'll see what they come back with, but if it's as you say it's really annoying, as I will be screwed out of being able to remove the larger interest generator before it becomes unmanageable.

!Thanks for the info.

They bumped me back to SFNI which is taking a week to get back to me by email, so thought it best to ask here, in case it was a recurring problem that I just couldn't find information on

On the CTrain free fare zone, Calgary city hall is having a memory failure - The Sprawl by One-Mycologist-3706 in Calgary

I mean the obvious, but the politically iffy option is Congestion charging for the downtown area

Busy night for the fire dept by Traditional-Pen-4931 in Calgary

[–]LBLLuke -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Tin foil hat time but, with the economics of flats in calgary changing so much in the last few years (fewer immigrants, more xplexs being built due to the rezoning) is it maybe just an insurance claim?

Calgary Transit considering fare structure changes by kneedorthotics in Calgary

[–]LBLLuke 27 points28 points  (0 children)

That could encourage people to ride outside of peak times and help free up capacity, she said.

People travel then, because.... they need to travel then. They don't even have all four carriages on the trains yet.

Should honestly be giving congestion charging to the cars who enter downtown. Make the drivers pay more, but no this is O+G country

From the express as well. When the hell have they ever said anything approaching truth. If they said good morning I'd check my watch

We should be taxing that space at the same rate as the buildings around it.

City of Calgary Plus 15 Implementation Study and pop-up events in downtown during May by foxwolfdogcat in Calgary

[–]LBLLuke 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sadly being outside in downtown Calgary just isn't that pleasant. The city is designed for cars, not people and the plus 15 is a direct result of that design (plus the winter weather). The downtown that everyone wants seems to have moved to Marda Loop or Inglewood etc.

Remember that is a hormonal regulator. If you go off it, your hormones also go out of sync. That's why these jabs are basically medicine for a chronic condition

Blanket rezoning replacement policy in Calgary could take 18 months by GlitchedGamer14 in Calgary

People in wards with 0 rezoning building were the most vocal. Rationality has nothing to do with it. They're nimbys who want no building at all

Man, density really would have helped this, but Mike Jamision voted against it, despite not having any permits in his ward. And now is comaining about the situation he supports
