Will piggy back off this post to and say Calgary has a lot going for it and unless Amazon thinks we're too close to Seattle already or not big and eastern enough we should really be taking this seriously. Educated and skilled workforce, space downtown or not, etc.
And say what you will about His Worship Major Nenshi but the guy loves this city and has the ability to sell it. Glad he'll be leading the charge and hope he continues to be able to.
