@CalgaryDave @TheoFleury14 I’ve been called by every duct cleaning scammer 100’s of times and now I book fake appointment at fake addresses, just one example.

I'd hate for someone to have my name and number when I don't want them to have that info... Kinda the same way Rogers, Telus, and every damned company instantly sells your personal info to every fool on the face of the planet getting you bogged down by spam calls. If only I were in government... and could pressure regulations to prevent this kind of thing and protect the people I governed... Awkward.

@BenRabidoux Then ben needs a small sidewalk poured at his house and realizes that nobody wants to work

Overwhelmingly the case that "locals don't want to work" means "I don't want to pay a wage that attracts locals". Sorry, no business is entitled to cheap foreign labour as a subsidy. If it can't profit while paying a wage that attracts local workers, it shouldn't survive

@augustagarei Likely to yellow anywhere it gets wet, hard to clean.

@integerhomes Good feedback. Just gets too visibly dirty?

Thoughts? Just finished the biggest renovation I’ve ever done. Custom shower door going in master shower.

@FurtureRichKid Think of it this way, do it yourself for under 3k and put 10k into a dividend stock and hold for life

My wife and I have been getting quotes for our 12x10 deck. Cedar wood, not even composite, is $9,000–$12,000, and we’ve received 5 bids. Is owning overrated? Or is it worth it in the end?

@normalfunnygirl Home builder

Any good career paths for people who aren’t very intelligent and do not possess any discernible skills?

@JeffWatsonYYC I get zero severance, just high likelihood of failure. Let me check my updated property tax bill …

Canadian MPs, who earn less than the CAO of Calgary, only get 6 months severance. 16 months is excessive by any standard.

@timber001 @RazorOil He’s back with daily pumps

@RazorOil What ever happened to that old wind bag pumper Peter who wanted to make love to the CEO? 😅

Great work by the team, seems like a BEAT on flow rates 391k vs expected 377k boe/d ( I expected 386k boe/d) funds flow ( I assume same as cash flow) $1.02B vs 0.93B and per share $0.82 vs. $0.77 $WCP.TO 🫡🪒

@considerthisyyc Restructure the question to be ‘do you want to pay $12000 per year in property tax’, if yes you can have a detached house in inner city calgary.

Who's really driving the demand for "missing middle"? Consider this, Calgary... #yyc #yyccc

@SteveSaretsky I want the cmhc deal just pass on the insurance

They're also planning to amend mortgage insurance rules to include triplexes and fourplexes. CMHC construction program currently requires a minimum of 5 doors.

The Federal Government intends to “Amend mortgage insurance rules to permit private mortgage insurers to offer multi-unit mortgage loan insurance on 5-8 unit residential properties to promote competition and offer lenders more choice.” Looks like they're trying to derisk CMHC from Alberta multiplexes.

@RazorOil @trend_bullish I didn’t want to sell

Let's take a moment to appreciate just how brilliant Cenovus’s move was last year to step in and acquire MEG considering everything we know today... Not only did they got it done, but with everything we know today, this unique asset is going to be 150,000 bbl/d. At that level, the acquisition could easily pay for itself in under 5 yrs, based on a $30 USD netback and >4 Billion !! barrels of reserves at >85% of the project area still to be developed over the next 30+ years. Unbelievable. Good work. 🫡🪒

@dig_deeper1 Not enough frontage to have window on 3 bedrooms and living room that’s 4 faces

Why most apartments complexes have 1 bedrooms and 2 bedrooms but very few 3 bedrooms units?

@ShaziGoalie Calgary seems pretty vibrant, lots happening. Limited view just my own silo. Building everywhere

Back in 2008, I’d ride the elevator into work hearing the same thing every day: “More layoff news.” That recession was brutal. But what’s building now feels bigger than a 90s Toronto real estate crash. This could be the kind of reset people only talk about once in a century.

@RazorOil Housing policy is like this x10 cause everybody built a deck once …

I don’t know everything about everything, but I do know a lot about one specific area. My core expertise is in Canadian heavy oil production, with strong emphasis on numerical modelling and technology development. I’ve mostly worked for major companies, where I played a significant role in technology integration. I’ve won several cool awards for my inventions. Many entrepreneurs really loved or really really ! hated me as I was "the filter" between them getting funding...or not... I also served as a board observer for a fusion company, a bitumen upgrading company, a water treatment company, and a cool pipeline integrity monitoring company. Many years of field-testing new technologies...full of sweat, tears, and occasional success-taught me a great deal. Why am I saying all this? Because on Twitter we are all democratically equal. Everyone has views and opinions, and we allocate our capital accordingly. That said, one thing I have no doubt about is that many people on here are “dumb money.” They often don’t truly understand what they own or why they own it. They are frequently blind to their own blindness and OVERCONFIDENT in opinions on topics they understand very little about, despite believing otherwise. The reality is we need these people. We need their capital to be deployed so entrepreneurs can try new technologies...and sometimes fail. Arguing with them is usually a waste of time. 🫡🪒

@RazorOil College fund to the moon 🌕

@MarcNixon24 Odd how much priority bombardier gets from the Feds vs the companies that can fuel the jets

BREAKING: Justin Trudeau just through Mark Carney under the bus on an unhinged rant about China throwing BAGS of unlimited cash at Canada. He says China has unlimited money and demand for Canada 🇨🇦 but we can’t do that they don’t share our values.

@_FlipMan 7000 for a long pipe under a garage. Access was good because basement was gutted. Deep service area due to cold climate

@integerhomes How much they charge ya for that?

Who has had a trenchless drain repair done and how were the results?

@ShaneWenzel Goldwyn is the sprawliest of sprawl, leapfrog style, as is the easterly spread to Chestermere . The ease of the spread diminishes the attractiveness of brownfield. City also is a huge boat anchor on brownfield vs sprawl. The biggest companies choose sprawl vs brownfield.

Brownfields languish because of red tape and costs, not new neighborhoods, or your definition of "sprawl." Calgary builds one sequential community after another, each paying massive levies upfront. Those new homeowners then pay full property taxes to maintain aging infrastructure elsewhere. Growth isn't a burden; it’s the city’s life support. The math says it’s double taxation. For reference, I’ve included a picture of actual sprawl.

Let’s debunk the "sprawl" myth once and for all. In Alberta, growth is a driver of sustainability. Off-site levies guarantee that new homeowners contribute to building their own communities. It’s time to focus on genuine affordability.
