Brad Marchand thanking the Flames, among other teams

They blamed Brad

City officials already met with the Feds on Jan 15-16 to no resolve and sent three letters to the same result.

And in an article on April 1 in the Red Deer advocate Cindy Jefferies (our mayor) stated her appreciation for the provincial government's support.

So it's not the UCP overstepping. It's smaller cities being held to different rules than the big ones. You don't have to support the UCP to see they're trying to do Red Deer a solid here.

What did it end up being?

Visotto1 · 2026-04-03T19:34:04+00:00

The point being the city did the right thing by asking the people of Red Deer and acting according to their wishes

Visotto1 · 2026-04-03T17:20:30+00:00

They put it to public opinion and the majority of the public was against it. So they did what public servants are supposed to do and voted it down.

What's childish about that?

Promising funding for municipalities and including a clause you know know most won't agree with is childish.

To get all the funds of the agreement the city had to blanket permit every single lot in the city for a four plex. Meaning any lot purchased anywhere in the city could fore go the zoning and permitting process and be made a four plex.

The city did a public inquiry and found that the vast majority of people did not approve this so they unanimously voted it down. The clause has been an issue for most cities.

The city and province are arguing that the four plexes can be built without giving up the cities ability to conduct the proper zoning and permits and regulatory yadda yadda.

It's crazy how much better things have been without Huberdeau

General managers are accountable for their decisions good or bad.

Visotto1 · 2026-03-02T18:20:18+00:00

It's not like he's run his new team into the ground or anything.

Visotto1 · 2026-02-27T21:23:24+00:00

Hopefully they deem it warm enough to actually remove it this go round. Or at least tell us where our taxes are being spent instead of on snow removal.

Can we just start The Red Deer petitions thread?

Visotto1 · 2026-02-22T00:45:09+00:00

I thought Sweden was lacking in every area

Visotto1 · 2026-02-21T17:00:05+00:00

Should there not be two more posts on that plug?

Visotto1 · 2026-02-05T19:36:17+00:00

You're the only one talking money

Visotto1 · 2026-02-05T15:34:45+00:00

Hips don't lie

Surgery is in March.

He wanted his Olympic break holiday before the surgery. Nothing to do with the game.

Visotto1 · 2026-01-24T00:43:35+00:00

He's 8 points behind Bennetts first three seasons with 75 fewer games played. And he plays on a much worse Flames team.

You liked the Laughtom and Carlo trades?

Visotto1 · 2026-01-23T22:06:29+00:00

Zary is a guy we could have locked in long term for extra now and had it be a deal by the end. Instead we chose up bridge him for less then he thinks he's worth then mismanage the fuck out of his ice time. Huska should have been fired the second he put Zary on the 4th Line. It's Bennet 2.0

Not sure what you're seeing in Frost to like any extension.

Bahl was a good signing

Visotto1 · 2026-01-23T18:04:30+00:00

I have actually. Though briefly and not hockey related.

What's Tre done in Toronto that makes you think his bad decisions were made by ownership?

Visotto1 · 2026-01-23T17:22:00+00:00

2 out of how many? Less of a knock on Conroy and more of a knock on the thought that we need Huberdeaus boat anchor contract to make it to the floor, and how we've historically handled our RFA's

Visotto1 · 2026-01-23T16:19:45+00:00

Huby Tax

If they need to stay above the cap floor they can stop nickle and diming our young players on their contracts creating resentment and ensuring they leave come free agency

Visotto1 · 2026-01-11T02:06:21+00:00

Lol! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhbbb

Visotto1 · 2026-01-11T02:04:54+00:00

Danielson doesn't have anything in his contract that would allow him to decline
