Not my city, but I found these pics of Yellowknife quite interesting.

Very cool. Love that building in the water.

[Airboy]

The Federal Building was the First LEED building North of 60. Cold's firm was the Arch. I calibrated all the Heating and Ventilation systems back then. The blue windows are actually PV panels.

The last photo of the grey buildings are the CDN forces Northern Operations centre and the darker one is the RCMP division head quarters.

Other than that condo in old town I have worked on everyone of those buildings.

Good ol' Newfoundland. Officially English is by far the largest ethnicity and it's supposedly less Irish than Ontario, but half of you are Catholic and have super Irish sound names.

[SignalHillHiker]

Yeah - Paddy Daly always points that out to Irish callers to Open Line when they call in to go on about how much they feel at home here. They're usually surprised, crack a joke about not holding it against us.

The Irish identity just stands out because it's the dominant one where most people live. The English are greater in number but mostly rural.




In the City of St. John's, it's 48.4% Roman Catholic and just 16.1% Anglican. But add in the entire CMA and the Anglicans outnumber the Catholics.

Then beyond the Anglican towns surrounding the city, the entire Avalon is mostly Irish. That's where most of us live, so that's why it's the dominant culture.

It's just that very, very few Catholics live anywhere else and, since we're still a very rural province, that means Anglicans with basically the whole of the rest of the island are the most numerous. And it's stronger than you can get from a census because, as in 1949, about half the population declares its ethnicity as Canadian. And just like back then, they're overwhelmingly rural and English Anglicans. In 2011, 173,865 who indicated their ethnicity as Canadian chose no other option - so they're completely invisible to an English/Irish comparison. It's not far from accurate to just add those to the English line.

Is that building any good to live in? It seems like it must have a great view.

Yellowknife looks really great! - in the summer at least...

Awesome pics.

Ha. If there were hordes of people around, that could pass for Covent Garden.

No fire in the sky now though, now that the refinery's ramped down production.

There's another "full-size" Smoke's a few blocks away at "pizza corner", the bar district's unofficial food court. And I'm not 100% sure but I think there's one somewhere in Dartmouth now as well.

No smoke on the water or fire in the sky in Calgary....but definitely smoke in the sky.
