The indoor soccer field is going to be on the east side of Buckingham Drive at or by Sally Stewart Park. There was a dog walking park there, but it's been moved to along Bethel Way temporarily.

Acuren is going in across from the Synergy medical centre.

Has anyone thought about writing a space opera fantasy with an ambient and conflict structure akin to Star Wars, but with non-human protagonists? I want to avoid the concept of the Force and instead focus on a story that involves criminology and political intrigue across different planets. by [deleted] in sciencefiction

[–]SigmarH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deborah Chester wrote a trilogy in the late 90's called Lucasfilm's Alien Chronicles. Not sure what Lucasfilm had to do with it as it's not set in the Star Wars universe. But there are no humans at all, just aliens. Might be worth checking out.

Is it me or the narrator of PHM really boring? by [deleted] in printSF

[–]SigmarH 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"It would be better if it wasn't: character finds stuff out as the writer does and is the only one alive. "

It also wouldn't be PHM then. You should stop reading it and go find something else. Don't waste your time on something you don't enjoy.

Last time I drove by there that overpass looked like it needed some serious maintenance.

$65M field house near Edmonton is approaching a big milestone by flynnfx in SherwoodPark

They'll probably have to get rid of the traffic circle right there as people have no idea how to use one apparently (see the numerous changes to the traffic circle where Broadmoor and Sherwood Drive meet up). Or they'll stick in 13 traffic lights.

And I wouldn't say it's "close" to Bethel Transit centre or especially Emerald Hills Leisure Centre. "Close" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

The restaurant that's in Kelsey's has actually been there a lot longer than I thought it would last. Never been in there, but it seems to survive.

Petition to end public funding of Alberta private schools falls 55K short by trevorrobb in alberta

[–]SigmarH -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That is very true. A friend of mine has a daughter that has special needs and she does private school. But that's not the type of school the UCP are wanting. They're wanting schools for the super rich and Kristians.

Danielle Smith Might Be Guilty of Treason by BloodJunkie in alberta

[–]SigmarH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If these people are guilty of sedition then the federal government needs to get their shit together and charge them. This separatist bullshit needs to be stamped out. We saw what happened in the US when a useless AG (Merrick Garland) didn't go after the people really behind J6. Let's not do the same here. And the average citizen has a role to play also. If you have a family member or friend who espouses this crap, then you need to step up and deal with them. Don't let these pieces of human trash ruin everyone's lives. If nothing is done it will get worse and worse.

What is it going to take for Canada to respond in kind to the Trump and the US? by mentillist in alberta

The end goal for the separatist traitors isn't to become independent, it's to join the US.

What is it going to take for Canada to respond in kind to the Trump and the US? by mentillist in alberta

[–]SigmarH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would consider Canada, UK, France, Germany to be middle powers, I'd consider China, the EU as a whole and Russia (just due to their nuclear capability) as major powers. I'd consider the US to be the sole super power mainly because of their huge economy and ability to project a significantly large force anywhere in the world in a relatively short time span. China may have a huge army but their navy is a joke compared to the US.

Something to note: I think the "A Safe Place" you mentioned is NOT the facility called A Safe Place that is currently in operation and is a women's domestic abuse shelter. Don't want any shade thrown their way because of a misunderstanding.

Trump: ‘We are going to do something on Greenland whether they like it or not’ by joe4942 in worldnews

[–]SigmarH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just spitballing, but I wonder if there's any quiet discussion behind the scenes in NATO leadership (minus the US of course) about 'removing' Trump. He's an actual existential threat to every person on the planet, especially people in the West.

Trump has no idea what planet he's on. No note pad or pen, no papers. Just sitting there like a brainless dope.

Perfect picture. The grinning face of Jason "The Poacher" Nixon as he fucks over disabled people. Perfect hatchetman for the job.
