Murphy traded to Oilers by Blackhawks for 2nd-round pick in 2028 Draft | NHL.com Defenseman, who led Chicago in blocked shots, can become unrestricted free agent after season

I like this trade. Low risk, high reward stay at home bruiser. www.nhl.com/news/topic/t... #oilers #yeg

I wonder where the other 98 red balloons went. πŸ˜‰

Budget day in AB. Only passenger rail item was $6M for YYC to airport and $1M each year after. The Ab passenger rail has launched with less than a whimper. #alberta #passengerrail #yeg #yyc

Feb 20 was the 18th birthday of the youngest. Unlike her older siblings who went bar hopping on their day, she wanted to go play bingo. Fun was had by all. #yeg #bingo #birthday

Well it took to February but Edmonton is finally acting like a winter city and going big on plowing right after a snow storm.

In less than 24 hours our patio furniture went from no snow to what is still accumulating. And our cat is comfy on the heat register. #yeg #winter #snow

Even with the curtains moved to give her a view, our muscular girl finds a spot to watch over the street. #yeg #dogsofbluesky #dogs

This frustrates me so much. In 2024 on time for passenger trains was 51%. We really need a Passenger Rail Priority Act in Canada. www.railcan.ca/wp-content/u... #canada #viarail #alberta #passengerrail

Alberta’s passenger rail plan faces another delay after missed summer 2025 deadline The province's goal to develop a 15-year passenger rail master plan has been delayed until later this year, according to a transportation official.

This is disheartening that the plan has long delays, likely costing more too. It is special when other jurisdictions have delays and increased costs in building. Alberta does it on the master plan which is just the overall direction, not the detail. edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n... #alberta #yeg

Unfortunately not just Winnipeg but most if not all Canadian winter cities.

Yesterday, the cat was warming up. Today, the dogs are prepping
for the cold coming our way. #yeg #dogsofbluesky

Adam Waterous, husband of Jan is the managing partner of Strathcona Resources, one the largest oil producers in Canada. He's also the other Co-Founder of Liricon which owns Mt Norquay ski. Regional importance, Yes. National importance. Nope. HSR Edmonton to Calgary would be way higher

See it in central neighborhoods too. Asshats

I emailed the passenger rail branch and was told the report was in the hands of the government. Public release will happen sometime
In 2026.

I guess I’m coloured by the modernism in Canada which I haven’t seen too much punch.

It looks like the red post covers and the red wood on the storefronts to be added after. Warms up the walkway.

It has been a very positive yet simple initiative. Good on COE

But Amelia where will the provincial workers park once they lose their free surface parking on the N part of your red square? (Sarcasm btw). Much better location to keep operating costs lower. LRT to LRT much more efficient, quicker for staff that would work between main hospital and new Stollery.

Maybe in this age of removing provincial barriers, we as a country could use Montreals example as a template for rail projects funded by Canada across the country. Take a page out of the China handbook. Reduce costs, build more with money saved.

Anyone have any intel on when the Alberta Passenger Rail Master Plan is being released? The original date was summer 2025. #yeg #ycc #alberta #edmonton #calgary #rail

Anyone recognize this a**hole? He was busted on multiple cameras trying to get into a house near us in SW Edmonton. Feel free to share.

Looks like speed plus a big object plus at least one idiot

This article is for eastern Canada high speed rail but can just as easily be used in Alberta for HSR between Edmonton and Calgary or the Banff to Calgary in the hopefully soon to be released Passenger Rail master Plan. #alberta #yeg #ycc #banff #albertarail

You are right, other than glossy press releases and photo ops, there seems to be a lack of transparency of what Alto is doing.
