Calgary: Bring on Amazon . . . Maybe not the Flames

[fjlip]

Why would Amazon move to Canada when dumb **** in Ottawa will tax the shit out of them. Also, delivery here is pathetic - will take twice as long to get package 1/2 the distance.

Provinces can write mega subsidiy cheques to attract Amazon all they want. Accountants are doing the number crunching and the results will be clear.

Turdo likes BIG CORPS like himself and Nomore, Amazon is not a farmer or professional, those are JT's evil crooks. Amazon is a MONSTER! Lots of kick back to politicos...

Crazy as this may sound I think the USA is looking a little unstable these days. Sadly Trudeau appears to the world as a reasonable alternative to Trump. That's short term but long term the future is murky as the rest of the world distances themselves from the USA. American isolationism will get worse the more they are shut out. Spheres of influence are changing. Once the us standard for crude is overtaken by other currencies what next? Russian wheat in rumbles?

You need to read other countries opinions of the "galavanting playboy' (taken from German news direct quote)


Trudeo is ignored intentionally he's not the kind of person who can rub shoulders with people like Putin and Merkel....


Amazon may build here they are like most tech firms liberal yahoos... However like somebody said not sure how they plan on shipping packages out unless they have their own infrastructure to do it. Would make sense to have the two HQs as far as possible separated to make it most efficient.

They have a rat problem in Swift Current... Brad Wall is back there, already!

Along the same lines of the emperor and his new clothes our pm may be naive enough to think he is big shit on the world stage but realistically a political lightweight. His latest un showing speaks volumes of how much the rest of the world thinks of him lol. He is no Lester Pearson but trying to cozy into the role. Think he pulls these moves to appeal to his base at home. I honestly hope voters wake up and the alternative is a viable one to unseat him. I really fear we are in for another term of him. Have to get the bible thumpers out of the Conservative party. I'm gonna get flamed fml

Last week it was reported that Winnipeg was a front runner for Amazon. Winnipeg's central location along with the Centre Port development are prime consideration. (Get it? Prime?)

Maybe the sask party should grease the wheels and get amazon to set up at the GTH.

Get it SF3 grease the wheels?

Saw the flames proposal and thought it was a typical oilman deal, All rights and no responsibilities.
You pay for it and if there's profits we get them. Don't love nenshi but hes right on this one.

As far as amazon Id be surprised to see another headquarters on the west side of the continent, it'll go into the Carolinas or some other East coast location or into Mexico. I should think, why would I build in a high cost of labour and benefits jurisdiction.

probably 95% of amazon's inventory comes to north America via west coast. likely they will keep the dist. center on the westside, no sense trucking/railing to east, then having fed ex send it back west. Calgary could very likely be a good candidate.

I don't think there is a big enough population around winterpeg to support it, most younger people there without jobs don't have to work, government takes care of them and theyre too busy looking after their half dozen of kids.

Calgary may be too small for this deal.Sask definately not in the running.
