A few days late, but this was my first PCMF and it was awesome. Great organization, some super cool bands, and the format was great. If you weren't into a show, you just walk next door and see what's on there. Great job by all the artists, organizer, and volunteers!

    New neighborhoods are basically completely terraformed so that houses are higher and roads are lower to prevent flooding. These things sound good but aren't good in practice.

    It was intended for BRT, so we have to run that BRT to see if it was worth for its intended purpose.

    I can't tell if it's still under construction or not, but now the city and province has to step up for the transit service to ensure the high quality transit route is there when it opens, or ASAP if it already is open.

    I can see why transit projects in Alberta take a long time. Suburbanites there seem to have trouble looking more than 30 days into the future.

    I really enjoyed Gogi recently! If you go for lunch their prices are cheaper and quite affordable. Premium cuts are not included in their AYCE price, but we found the basic meats / appetizers included were more than sufficient. I particularly like the self serve lettuce becuase... we eat a lot of lettuce.

    Apparently some of the tram cars that go over the bridge are from a specific city in Japan, I forget the name though. There's also a 'sister city' in Hokkaido somewhere, mostly because we have almost the same climate; hot, short summers and long, cold winters.

    Now that's an exciting turn of events. So we can hold the CEOs of the various arms manufacturers responsible for the war crimes committed with their weapons?

    I am glad they got caught.
    This is an old scheme. Damaging for profit.
    I think not long ago, there was a gang (or multiple gangs) acting as roofers that are coincidently in the neighbourhood and asked to check your roof free of charge, they would damage it and charge massive amounts to fix.

    Wait, so the Edmonton Police Service Chief went to Israel to understand what?

    The International Criminal Court issued warrants for arrest for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant. The US has unjustifiably attacked International Rule of Law by sanctioning the ICC and its staff. In so doing, the US continues to attack a judicial institution.

    But I guess the Chief is in good company considering his own attacks against the Justice system in his home province of Alberta.
