Calgary Police Commission says Neufeld out as of Friday morning

Recently certified, A Better Calgary said it has a plan to prevent vote splitting amongst conservative voters by bypassing certain wards.

Does anyone know where's the best/most affordable place to get an eye exam here?

I’m curious as to Calgary’s opinions on Trump tariffs, Danielle Smith’s visit to Mar-a-Lago, and the Federal response.

Summary by AI:

• Calgary mayor Jyoti Gondek expresses uncertainty about the future of the Green Line LRT project due to disagreements and the resignation of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
• The federal government has committed $1.5 billion to the project, but clarification is needed regarding their support for the revised provincial alignment.
• The revised alignment, proposed by the province in December, is 76% longer than the previous plan and features no tunneling through downtown Calgary.
• The city and province have different cost estimates for the project, with the city stating the revised alignment would cost $7.5 billion, $1.3 billion more than the provincial report suggests.
• A meeting between the city and province to discuss the new plan has not been held, and the city is requesting clarification on several matters before considering a vote on the provincial plan.

City Hall leaders say the consultant drafting the report on the catastrophic failure of the Bowness water feeder line needs two more months before the findings can be shared with Council, but can't say why there is a delay.

Council barely blinks, but the mayor asks a few blunt questions that go unanswered. General Manager of Infrastructure Services, Michael Thompson, says he had no good reason, just that they need more time.

I've recently been trying to go vegan, and have some old recipe books that I got from the thrift shop that I want to try making vegan. Some of the recipes call for gelatin, and I want to try making them vegan by using agar powder instead.

I've tried Walmart, Superstore, Safeway, Sun Rise Health Foods, E-mart, and none of them seem to carry the powder. I found a place that sells agar packaged on it's own, but the packages seem small and costly for the amount of powder I'd likely get if I ground it at home.

Does anybody know where I can find the containers of it? I'm willing to pay a larger amount assuming it'll last a long while.

Thanks in advance!

The UCP jerks seem to be making the underground tunnel for the green line impossible. A possible new alignment could be elevated rail through downtown. After I watched this video, I think it wouldn't be that bad after all?

'Today is the day we have all been waiting for,' says city director.

Hey Calgary!

The kid got our car banged up, and we're getting it fixed under insurance.

Looking for recommendations of body shops in town, preferably ones who work directly with insurance companies.

Of the ones proposed by my insurance co., CSN Lou's and ProColor Collision are looking hopeful. Any thoughts?
