I just noticed this on the

Connect 2 Edmonton site under the "Around the NHL" thread, that for the 1st time in over 46 years there will be no Canadian teams in the NHL for the 2015-16 playoffs. The real elephant in the room should be the on going issue over concussions in the NHL This controversy has the potential to be a game changer on how the game has been changed over the years, such as hybrid icing etc to make the game a bit more safer.

JT was in our city yesterday performing damage control over the ei controversy. Edmontonians shut out of extra ei benefits because of .2% point difference between Edmonton's unemployment rate and Calgary. Granted our economy has always been better then Calgary's. One just hast too look at all the activity currently going on around downtown. A lot of those projects downtown are about to wind down over the next 6 months or so. There's other projects that are just getting or about to get underway, like Station Pointe (finally) Valley line lrt, the ETS facility on the corner of Yellowhead and Fort road, The Vibe, Londonderry Mall and City Center mall each getting upgrades and others. Trudeau said politics had nothing to do with Edmonton's ei extension controversy. With that being said, sure I can understand that.

I got a ride home last night from Joyce getting into the apartment at 9pm, which was nice. Joyce is in her 70's. Most likely this will be the last campaign, I'll be asking for a ride home, if the new place is more centrally located. Because we reached a project milestone, management is ordering pizza for the staff. Tonight, I'm in from 4:15pm-8:30pm and home by 9pm. Anyway, that's all for now.
