Sorry this is a Regina thread... hey how about those Riders.

As far as I know, the Bank of Montreal actually is the lead tenant in that building. I believe its the regional HQ for the province. My friend works there, and my mom used to, and I remember BMO occupying at least 3 of the 14 floors

Also there are a lot of government offices, but they're not all government. I know there's some kind of law firm in that building for sure.

I do agree that its silly that some of the government buildings sell the naming rights to smaller tenants, but what do you expect, it's the capital city in a NDP ruled province, and it wouldnt make sense for all those skyscrapers to say "saskatchewan" on the top

And as far as I know, the Delta barely has any offices in it. The building is mostly hotel-use isn't it?. The only government office in the building that I know of is northern affairs. But I could be wrong

I wouldn't say we hate him, well I don't. I would never truely "hate" someone over something as trivial as an internet forum. We just get frustrated with him because a lot of his posts are mostly the same political rant over and over again.

And I thought you said you'd stop posting about Winnipeg Don't make me go to the Winnipeg thread and randomly post pictures of Regina

Dammit now I'm talking politics with wingnut

So what is this work,again ?

You have never said and that poll has been up for months, so I don't think I would have much impact voting more then once.

Yes, Fiacco got 85% of 35% who voted, almost 1/3 of Regina likes him.But Why? A cult of personality ?

And yes, more people should vote but that doesn't not make Fiacco, and council, policy choices right, does it ?

I think your signature says it all about the current situation in Regina.
Thanks for the offer of bus fare but I can afford to fly so keep your allowance.

My post tend to be the same political rant due the large connection between subjects in this thread and city council, go figure council having something to do with new construction. Who'd a thunk ?

Like the Winnipeg thread never goes off topic. Hell, you'd probably get more negative reactions if you went to the Winnipeg thread and randomly posted pictures of Winnipeg.

The BMO building also has one of the major accounting firms in it.

RBC has it's own building and occupies several floors I believe. The same can be said for TD. Obviously Connexus occupies huge amounts of space. I'm not so sure about Scotia bank though. They obviously don't own the building.

Why did Club New Yorkx in Regina close down? I'm assuming bankrupcy, but all I heard was that is was a phenomenal club, and always packed ...so that is why I ask. Anyways ...if one of you could tell me, or point me in the direction of the details, I'd be grateful.

I'm not sure. The facade was pretty odd. It was filled pretty quickly with a new club called Soho's.

It's still open under a new name (Soho) and, I believe, new owners. It closed for a bit while they did some renos but it's been open for awhile now (I forget when they re-opened, exactly, was over a year ago though because we were there for my friends birthday last April!).

Aon Reed Stenhouse (insurance and consulting...I believe the consulting is risk management?) is also located in the BMO building. My aunt worked there for a bit.

You have never said and that poll has been up for months, so I don't think I would have much impact voting more then once.

It would take about 5 minutes to vote 100 times....and with your distain for Fiacco it wouldn't surprise me at all if you spend your evenings pushing 'submit'......backspace.......'submit'.......backspace.......'submit'.....just to try and provide a link to discredit Fiacco.

Yes, Fiacco got 85% of 35% who voted, almost 1/3 of Regina likes him.But Why? A cult of personality ?

So your suggesting that the majority of the 2/3rd's that didn't vote don't like Fiacco??? Wow talk about baseless assumptions. I happen to know of at least 10 people of the top of my head who really like Fiacco who didn't even bother to vote because they knew it would be a landslide anyways. Honestly Quimby the way your are reaching for things to 🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵 about is way beyond embarrassing.

Regina has an interesting night club scene, most only last 5 years then change name,style or owners. This is because every night club has a night, JDs is Thursday's, etc. The rest of the week is usually slow to medium. This means that if a new bar opens up and can draw your night away, you have to change direction.

More insults and no evidence. You truly lack any skill or knowledge.

Is it ignorance or apathy ?

You don't know and you don't care

What work has Fiacco and co. been able to complete that has benefited Regina ?

Why do you support the Mayor so vehemently?

Why do you resort to insults and not reasoned debate ?

Try answering those.

Despite the bickering on here, Quimby does ask a fair question about the campaign or event in Calgary to "lure" Albertans to Regina - how successful is it? I'm not even sure how they would measure this actually...

But, personally, I think a well-run campaign (i.e. not the full-page ads in the Calgary Herald for "Spirited Energy" ;-) is great for putting a place top-of-mind - both to former Sask folks that moved to Calgary, and may want to check out what is happening back at "home"...and also, to attract Calgarians that may be ready to cash in on a $500k house, take in a "slower" pace of life in a nice, small attractive city, and live mortgage free (which, despite being debatable in itself, may add to "quality of life" by freeing up financial stress, and allowing for other luxuries).

For all the great pictures that have recently been posted of Regina on this forum, its amazing how many forumers respond with "wow, Regina looks very nice"...obviously, not knowing much about it.

If the campaign is focused, I think it can work...Sask Tourism recently sent out a nice glossy Sask broshure a couple weeks ago in the Calgary Herald, and there are definitely several places that are on my list to check out in Sask this summer as a result.

But, any campaign should have measurable results - and for that, Quimby, I think you should try and dig for answers...the city should actually publish that information...
