Beatles

So the city is cash strapped yet they can spend the money to put on a Beatles display at city hall just because an old Beatle is coming to town. What a waste, and what a reason why the city is always looking for more cash. They are always after more cash because there...

Government Advertising

Why is important that government advertise so much?  Do they have competion? Will they sell more stuff? I think they actually do it...

Whitemud Warm Up Centre

Whitemud Warm Up Centre

I believe the City of Edmonton is absolutely out of control as far as spending is concerned. A developer can build a very nice house with land and services for $750,000. The city of Edmonton built basically an empty warehouse with washrooms, on land it already owns, and it cost $3,900,000. I am not...

Stephen Mandel

Stephen Mandel

So Stephen Mandel thinks that we expect government to do to much for us. I agree with him.  I just don’t agree with him on what he wants government to do. During his administration he has brought in draconian laws concerning everyday living such as smoking, idling engines etc. etc., spent excessive money on stupid...

Whitemud Amusement Centre

The city of Edmonton is always spending money to bring people to the city, yet they are going to close a profitable amusement centre that does bring people into the city. And they are doing it so they can store rail cars. It seems to me that they could store rail cars anyplace along...

Alberta Budget

You can tell that Alice the Red used to be a UN lawyer, she always speaks with forked tongue. Every time she speaks a different spin comes out. I wonder how much we will be in the hole by the time her 4 years are up. I bet it will be over 16 billion. And by the...

US and Alberta Election

US and Alberta Election

I fear the USA is in for the same ride that we are in Alberta are in right now. The government unions, the hangers on, the unproductive are all going to be hollering for MORE, MORE, MORE and the productive are  going to be stripped of the fruits of their hard work until they either...

Edmonton Airport Lands

Edmonton Airport Lands

I wonder if the city of Edmonton will be bankrupt after they finish developing the airport lands. They are starting out in a place where before a shovel goes in the ground they have to destroy buildings, dig up thousands of square meters of reinforced concrete, likely deal with fuel contaminated ground, pay to...

Youth Obesity

According to the experts the cure for youth obesity is a tax on the product or pictures on the bags.  I doubt if that will help. The real cure for youth obesity is included in one sentence. “Go out and play”. Not organized play, just running, jumping, climbing, building forts, everything a childs imagination...
