Wow, what divisive 'ism' or 'phobia' was not somehow included somewhere in those two pages?

It is like the UDI says we will only feel comfortable when we are with our own kind...

I believe NORR is the architect on the Eau Claire Residential Lands (the parking lots next to Eau Claire). That RFP came out in November of 2011, so maybe that's it? Or perhaps this is the rumoured Gateway project... either way, I know a major oil and gas company in Calgary might be doing something extremely massive here too soon. Fun times.

RTKL I think was that firm out of Los Angeles that did that crazy proposal for the National Music Centre. Very cool firm.

I'm not sure that UDI letter is even coherent enough to be offensive. Was I suppose to check my privilege before reading? Patriarchy maybe?

I guess they are pro white flight... Or were they against it?

That was SPF from LA you're probably thinking of. But RTKL is doing quite a bit in Calgary right now - for New Urban and GWL. Very strong firm.

I'm pretty sure more coherent and less offensive rants have been written with poops on prison walls.

Apparently, there was a huge outcry within UDI membership criticizing the recent article under the "Just the Facts" initiative. UDI has just issued a written apology to everyone offended by the article and pulled it off the website. I really wanna know who wrote it (although I have a good idea).

There's nothing wrong with the left-justified type. Most type out there is left-justified (as opposed to right justified, which is aligned to the right side).

Perhaps what you're thinking about is the hard-breaks after every sentence?

Until now, I was honestly thinking you're talking about political leaning.

UDI has taken it down but it's still preserved at the Herald
