Birds to launch 2017 on January 5th. That’ll be our first new year breakfast.
Members:
Brett Bain.
Sean Baylis. Shaking his head in amazement at Teck Resources surge (it’s up 3,000 %). • Sees $CAN slipping below 70 cents in the next while. • Trump Bump fueling US markets. Promised Corporate Tax cut seems to be repatriating capital. • Interestingly positive. So far.
Jim Bladon. Finds the ‘warm blanket of the NDP’ somewhat smelly. • Expects NE/NW crop loss to be 30% or more. • Hopes bovine TB scare is over .
Paul Boucher.
Greg Callander.
Ian Campbell. Wow. Online advertising works like heck! Ian advertised for an Admin Assistant and received 250 resumes within hours. • Got to attend Harry Potter play in lieu of western conference football final. Lesson learned: advising wife of long term plans can facilitate football attendance.
Matt Dart. Mentions that AB gov is capping electricity at 6.8 cents a KWH.
Don Davis .
Todd Dean.
George Doherty.
Don Doolan.
Ken Eades.
Tony Fisher. Enjoyed ‘Hollywood Hits’ at Stage West. • Likes the look of the new boss of the Calgary Airport Authority: new person comes from Big Rock brewery. From Hops to Flights.
Gord Forsyth . Got $169? Fly Leaf to Mesa. (That’s all it costs.)
Mel Gibson.
Henry Heuver. Upset at government land grab: they’re trying to take a chunk of his tree nursery property. Gov can’t (doesn’t want to) see that the land is much more than just plain prairie growing some trees.
David Hicks. Dare I say, Electrifying!? He likes the payback on solar roof panels.
Bill Hoogstratten.
Dan Kennelly.
Keith Kozak. Check title. Again, check title. His tip refers to restrictive covenants that can prevent owners from doing what they want with their own land.
Matt Litke. Filled in as Chair this morning. • If you haven’t sponsored anyone in the Movember Moustach promotion, Matt (and Jim Bladon) are good candidates. You have until Nov 30th. Go to https://ca.movember.com/donate You Can find Matt’s link by typing in Matt Litke. I think Jim is on a team so maybe ask him the name of it. (or send me a link Jim and I’ll share it.)
Andy Lockhart. Andy has fulfilled his role at the Drop In Centre. • He’s having a hip operation on December 8th, so will be out of action for 6 weeks or so.
J.D. MacDonald.
Michael McLennan.
Ross Mikkelsen. Feeling the creep of business taxes. • Ah well, for a different and tasty meal, try Little Sheep in Pacific Mall.
Mike Mikkelson. New Horizon Mall? Mike is keeping an interested eye on the mega, Asian-themed market out by Balzac. There are some 400 plus spaces there. Soon to be selling all kinds of things. • Red Deer may be coming back to life. Maybe.
Gerry Parcells. Tired of being retired.
Bruce Roblin.
Dwayne Vink. He hopes the glow of Teck Resources lights up the progress he and his associates are making on their magnesium mine (near some of Teck’s operations).
Bob Wiggins. .
Chris Wright.
George Roberts. Words work when written well.
