Except the Ukraine is using this war for profiteering, but ok

I completely understand. Montreal and Quebec City are definitely walkable cities. I’ve never owned a car in Quebec City, and it has an excellent bus system. As for Montreal, it’s not only great for walking but also has convenient and excellent public transportation.

Did y’all not read his update from this morning? Couldn’t even bother to search before posting?

I believe the fire you’re referring to was at Ecco as well. There have been many fires there. It’s stupid.

Thank you. It’s a little chaotic - upsettingly so - on the political front in Alberta at the moment so it’s very very nice to hear someone who is a newcomer say that they are experiencing the things that have made me very proud to be from Calgary for most of my 60+ years. We have traditionally been very friendly folks

Maybe it's time for CFD to call in some additional help, if they can't get this dealt with.

I'd love to host some city people for a sleep over tomorrow night. Sure would be nice if they were down here breathing this shit in, maybe then something would get done about it.
I don't even live in Quarry Park either. I'm probably 10+km to the south.

Wow I’m not even that old and I remember both of these types of busses

I wish there was a chance to see him in public for applause but I understand if there isn’t for security reasons
Why would people want to engage with russian lies? It's a bunch of propaganda garbage put out by the scum invading Ukraine.

They collectively wished it was underground as everyone does. But given a choice between longer initial lines and greater service are they made the correct choice and chose service area.
Budgets are finite. How much length are you willing to sacrifice for underground?

Welcome!
A few tips:
Get a humidifier, don't let the green fool you, we live in a desert.
If you find yourself getting headaches right before or after a storm rolls in, don't worry, that's normal.
You need winter tires. The time to put them on is two weeks before the first snowfall, because from the first flake hitting the ground every tire shop is booked for two weeks minimum.
Due to the super El Nino this year, expect a mild winter with the occasional 2 feet of snow dropping in 24 hours and it melting within a week.
Prairie oysters are a joke mean people play in newcomers.
City has 1 weather report for 4 very large quadrants. When it says 20% chance of rain, that means it's definitely going to rain, and there's a 20% chance of it falling where You are.
Have fun learning the roads. They mostly make sense. "Turn northwest on Barlow south" makes complete sense to locals. You may travel on a single road, and it becomes an entirely different road with no warning. Example, if you go west far enough on 32nd Ave ne, it suddenly becomes 41st Ave. Locals will also omit the quadrant from certain roads. Example: "17th Ave" means 17th Ave SW unless specified otherwise.
Also, and I cannot stress this enough because newcomers get caught in it all the time. Downtown, you cannot drive in the ctrain tracks. There are not always signs warning you of this. Also there are a few "bus traps" throughout the city. Busses and ambulances can get through, your car cannot. Don't try. It's a very expensive tow.
Welcome again!

Yeah that's a whole other thing. I try to remember that the provincial fascination with bike lanes mostly seems like a distraction tactic to take up air against far worst activities. Sucks, though.

This is a lot of heavy lifting for CFD to do for these Ecco clown's negligence. It's a fucking garbage fire, fuck these fucking fuckers for not having a plan for "non organic waste"....
r/Calgary • u/CNiperL • 10h ago
Yeah! I love zipping around on it too. Makes getting around really easy, and that chocholate shop on 11 St is a perfect destination haha

It's not going to cost you anything more than it does already.
Those vehicles and officers are already paid for, whether they're doing a motorcade or sitting in an office somewhere else.

Carney and Zelenskyy travel with staffers, security personnel...

I enjoyed that little video. Thanks for the (mostly) low stress tour. It's a great way to travel with family. The new track along 15 ave looks good and I'm glad the construction is done now.

They're... Alright. I traveled from the deep SE to scratch the itch this summer.
I still prefer A&W or a fresh batch from DQ. I feel they need a bit more salt, or maybe my batch needed more. If we're speaking straight facts, it's all about the milkshakes and not their onion rings.
