Well, I am now an expert on the City of Calgary. It’s part of my writing portfolio - I’m going to be America’s foremost expert on the City of Calgary.
I love irony.
Something of note:
StatCan recently released the New Housing Price Index
numbers.
Calgary (+60.6%) once again posted the largest 12 month increase for new homes. Edmonton was next (+37.8%) followed by Regina (+9.5%), Saskatoon (+9.5%) and Winnipeg (+9.3%).
Edmonton is probably going to chug along while Calgary stalls a bit as all the speculators turn their excess demand into excess supply. Plus Calgary has been trying to annex the MD of Rocky View for the past four years in order to top up its long-term land supply.
Soon Calgary’s going to annex Canmore and everything bordering Banff National Park.
Dang, I like Canmore. Save for the yuppies, and rich eco-tards it’d be my kind of town.

Calgary wants to annex Alberta for more space. The new city will be called Calberta. On another note Encana is building a monster office tower in Calgary which will radically change the landscape. Price oh about 1 billion.
