I can’t understand why, with winters known to be how they are, there is no district heating. If that infrastructure had been in place, a transition to carbon-less sources of heat could be well underway.



Canada is very dispersed/low density in many areas. Think ‘US if it wasn’t so crowded’, outside of a few cities close to the US border.


For Edmonton & Calgary at least, which house the majority of Alberta’s population, such infrastructure would’ve meant better planning for growth, reducing the low-density sprawl we see today.


Only if one knew what it would end up looking like - and it would have looked like that if everything had been done differently getting here.


Canada doesn't invest in infrastructure until it's too late. And by then, it's too late.
