Deadmonton AB Canada = Unsafe ,Ignored + Disliked Worldwide+Anti-Business

Last week Brad Ferguson chief blowhard of Edmonton Economic Development
Corporation complained to media that his town had less than a 1.5 out of 10 
worldwide recognition for tourism.

Actually DEADMONTON Canada has a 15 out of 10 worldwide recognition, but for
all the wrong reasons.

Guess Ferguson must be high on the green herb, to have forgotten the front
covers of the SUN newspapers in his town, and Calgary, for 31 July 2011 -
DEADMONTON - CITY OF HOMICIDES - MURDER CAPITAL CANADA.

By year end his town had 49 admitted murders, many times the murders in
Calgary !

How about constant news stories about crooked cops in Edmonton Police -
Wasylychen son of former police chief convicted at least 3 times of torturing,
$250,000 ,embezzlement by Zenari, tortures and killing by cops, etc.

Anti-business policies of city council, as in case of Hong Kong billionaire
Hop Lee. When they complained to Council, they were told if they did not like
it, then go back to Hong Kong.

Remember a few years ago the anti business action of city council regarding
Walmart.Walmart were refused a permit, even though it would have created
hundreds of needed jobs.

No wonder so many businesses, and tens of thousands of jobs are
leaving Deadmonton.


In recent years, the following businesses have joined the exodus of jobs:
        Telus call center - 3000 jobs gone
        Convergys call center - 3000 jobs gone
        Nieman-Marcus call center - 600 jobs gone
        Dell computers - 2500 jobs gone
        Levi Strauss jeans - 500 jobs gone
        Gray Beverages/pepsi - relocated to Calgary
        Safeway regional offices - relocated to Calgary
        Superstore regional offices - relocated to Calgary
        Allied Van Lines - regional offices - relocated to Calgary
        Eagle Hardware from US closed down operations in Deadmonton
        Walmart was refused permit for new store - 700 jobs lost
        Now Hunter Douglas Blinds leaving - another 130 jobs gone


How many major developments in Deadmonton will now get cancelled by
developers, in protest at having to pay extra taxes just to line the pockets
of jew katz and his damn arena?


How many more businesses, fed up with being jewed, will close and
take jobs elsewhere ?

Snow removal is a sick joke.Sensible cities comparable in size such as 
Ottawa and Winnipeg get all roads cleared of snow within 24 hours. 
Edmonton took over 4 weeks last winter,at astronomic cost.

Wastage of city taxes seems to be the hallmark of the incompetents on 
council. 2 sickening examples were $600,000 for a few stell ball, paid 
not to a Canadian but a yank; then $800,000 for a stupid balloon.

The city closed down the airport in town, so that property developers 
can make hundreds of millions in profits. At the same time communities
 in northern Alberta who used and depended on the Muni Airport now 
boycott DEADMONTON
in protest. They have transferred their business to Calgary and Vancouver.

By the way the airport at Leduc, called Edmonton International, drains $8
million to $12 million from Edmonton taxpayers, even though it benefits
another city.

In fact, the Edmonton airport gets only HALF the passengers of Calgary
airport. Most international airlines avoid YEG, and according to local TV
news, overseas tickets when flying  from Calgary, can be as much as $1,000
per person CHEAPER than flying from Edmonton. A family of 4 could save up to
$4,000.

In Edmonton, the penalty for motor manslaughter = killing someone with a car,
is only between $115 to $1,500. Like in Manila.

Plus, the dump is too cold in winter, and infested with bloodsucking mosquitos
in summer.

The city goes out of the way, to discourage new businesses.
 De Dutch Pannekoek House Restaurants,  was supposed have its Edmonton debut
in June. Waring partly blames the delay on red tape and a slow-moving city
bureaucracy.

�We�ve been around since 1975 and opened a lot of restaurants in a lot of
communities, and without speaking ill of the folks at City Hall here, we ran
into more roadblocks here than I�ve run into anywhere else.�

These are just a few reasons, Brad, why your town has such an unsavoury
international reputation.
