Tell that to Edmonton’s arena. I can walk 2 blocks and experience my rejuvenation as I step over dozens of heroin needles and experience the finest tent city east of the Rockies.
Welcome to every heavily populated urban area on the continent. Damn that Murray Edwards for not personally solving homelessness. Where they're planning to put this is already just crackhouses and parking lots. Don't see how it could possibly make it worse.
Scam. The day cities have the balls to stand up to these Robber barons (might only come when pigs fly) and actually demand private corps pay for what they will profit and actually give af about their constituents will be a fine day indeed.
A for profit business acting in their shareholders' best interest? How scandalizing.
Nenshi offered Amazon a basically tax free haven to build his supercenter near Calgary. So did many other municipalities. The province flushed 1.3
billion on a pipeline that was very obviously never going to happen, but sure money for infrastructure that improves their citizens quality of life is just one bridge too far. CSEC has roots deep in the community and do a ton of charity and outreach but yeah, let's string them up as robber barons when foreign oil companies continue to plunder and pillage this province's natural resources for huge profits that end up everywhere but here, as has been the standard practice for the last 50 years.
It's the hypocrisy for me.
