No, “convenience” isn’t the problem

I'm touring my new, nationally bestselling novel The Bezzle! Catch me in CHICAGO (Apr 17), Torino (Apr 21) Marin County (Apr 27), Winnipeg (May 2), Calgary (May 3), Vancouver (May 4), and beyond!

Using Amazon, or Twitter, or Facebook, or Google, or Doordash, or Uber doesn't make you lazy. Platform capitalism isn't enshittifying because you made the wrong shopping choices.

Remember, the reason these corporations were able to capture such substantial market-share is that the capital markets saw them as a bet that they could lose money for years, drive out competition, capture their markets, and then raise prices and abuse their workers and suppliers without fear of reprisal. Investors were chasing monopoly power, that is, companies that are too big to fail, too big to jail, and too big to care:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/04/04/teach-me-how-to-shruggie/#kagi

The tactics that let a few startups into Big Tech are illegal under existing antitrust laws. It's illegal for large corporations to buy up smaller ones before they can grow to challenge their dominance. It's illegal for dominant companies to merge with each other. "Predatory pricing" (selling goods or services below cost to prevent competitors from entering the market, or to drive out existing competitors) is also illegal. It's illegal for a big business to use its power to bargain for preferential discounts from its suppliers. Large companies aren't allowed to collude to fix prices or payments.

But under successive administrations, from Jimmy Carter through to Donald Trump, corporations routinely broke these laws. They explicitly and implicitly colluded to keep those laws from being enforced, driving smaller businesses into the ground. Now, sociopaths are just as capable of starting small companies as they are of running monopolies, but that one store that's run by a colossal asshole isn't the threat to your wellbeing that, say, Walmart or Amazon is.

All of this took place against a backdrop of stagnating wages and skyrocketing housing, health, and education costs. In other words, even as the cost of operating a small business was going up (when Amazon gets a preferential discount from a key supplier, that supplier needs to make up the difference by gouging smaller, weaker retailers), Americans' disposable income was falling.

So long as the capital markets were willing to continue funding loss-making future monopolists, your neighbors were going to make the choice to shop "the wrong way." As small, local businesses lost those customers, the costs they had to charge to make up the difference would go up, making it harder and harder for you to afford to shop "the right way."

In other words: by allowing corporations to flout antimonopoly laws, we set the stage for monopolies. The fault lay with regulators and the corporate leaders and finance barons who captured them – not with "consumers" who made the wrong choices. What's more, as the biggest businesses' monopoly power grew, your ability to choose grew ever narrower: once every mom-and-pop restaurant in your area fires their delivery drivers and switches to Doordash, your choice to order delivery from a place that payrolls its drivers goes away.

Monopolists don't just have the advantage of nearly unlimited access to the capital markets – they also enjoy the easy coordination that comes from participating in a cartel. It's easy for five giant corporations to form conspiracies because five CEOs can fit around a single table, which means that some day, they will:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/18/cursed-are-the-sausagemakers/#how-the-parties-get-to-yes

By contrast, "consumers" are atomized – there are millions of us, we don't know each other, and we struggle to agree on a course of action and stick to it. For "consumers" to make a difference, we have to form institutions, like co-ops or buying clubs, or embark on coordinated campaigns, like boycotts. Both of these tactics have their place, but they are weak when compared to monopoly power.

Luckily, we're not just "consumers." We're also citizens who can exercise political power. That's hard work – but so is organizing a co-op or a boycott. The difference is, when we dog enforcers who wield the power of the state, and line up behind them when they start to do their jobs, we can make deep structural differences that go far beyond anything we can make happen as consumers:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/10/18/administrative-competence/#i-know-stuff

We're not just "consumers" or "citizens" – we're also workers, and when workers come together in unions, they, too, can concentrate the diffuse, atomized power of the individual into a single, powerful entity that can hold the forces of capital in check:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/04/10/an-injury-to-one/#is-an-injury-to-all

And all of these things work together; when regulators do their jobs, they protect workers who are unionizing:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/06/goons-ginks-and-company-finks/#if-blood-be-the-price-of-your-cursed-wealth

And strong labor power can force cartels to abandon their plans to rig the market so that every consumer choice makes them more powerful:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/10/01/how-the-writers-guild-sunk-ais-ship/

And when consumers can choose better, local, more ethical businesses at competitive rates, those choices can make a difference:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/07/10/view-a-sku/

Antimonopoly policy is the foundation for all forms of people-power. The very instant corporations become too big to fail, jail or care is the instant that "voting with your wallet" becomes a waste of time.

Sure, choose that small local grocery, but everything on their shelves is going to come from the consumer packaged-goods duopoly of Procter and Gamble and Unilever. Sure, hunt down that local brand of potato chips that you love instead of P&G or Unilever's brand, but if they become successful, either P&G or Unilever will buy them out, and issue a press release trumpeting the purchase, saying "We bought out this beloved independent brand and added it to our portfolio because we know that consumers value choice."

If you're going to devote yourself to solving the collective action problem to make people-power work against corporations, spend your precious time wisely. As Zephyr Teachout writes in Break 'Em Up, don't miss the protest march outside the Amazon warehouse because you spent two hours driving around looking for an independent stationery so you could buy the markers and cardboard to make your anti-Amazon sign without shopping on Amazon:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/07/29/break-em-up/#break-em-up

When blame corporate power on "laziness," we buy into the corporations' own story about how they came to dominate our lives: we just prefer them. This is how Google explains away its 90% market-share in search: we just chose Google. But we didn't, not really – Google spends tens of billions of dollars every single year buying up the search-box on every website, phone, and operating system:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/02/21/im-feeling-unlucky/#not-up-to-the-task

Blaming "laziness" for corporate dominance also buys into the monopolists' claim that the only way to have convenient, easy-to-use services is to cede power to them. Facebook claims it's literally impossible for you to carry on social relations with the people that matter to you without also letting them spy on you. When we criticize people for wanting to hang out online with the people they love, we send the message that they need to choose loneliness and isolation, or they will be complicit in monopoly.

The problem with Google isn't that it lets you find things. The problem with Facebook isn't that it lets you talk to your friends. The problem with Uber isn't that it gets you from one place to another without having to stand on a corner waving your arm in the air. The problem with Amazon isn't that it makes it easy to locate a wide variety of products. We should stop telling people that they're wrong to want these things, because a) these things are good; and b) these things can be separated from the monopoly power of these corporate bullies:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/11/08/divisibility/#technognosticism

Remember the Napster Wars? The music labels had screwed over musicians and fans. 80 percent of all recorded music wasn't offered for sale, and the labels cooked the books to make it effectively impossible for musicians to earn out their advances. Napster didn't solve all of that (though they did offer $15/user/month to the labels for a license to their catalogs), but there were many ways in which it was vastly superior to the system it replaced.

The record labels responded by suing tens of thousands of people, mostly kids, but also dead people and babies and lots of other people. They demanded an end to online anonymity and a system of universal surveillance. They wanted every online space to algorithmically monitor everything a user posted and delete anything that might be a copyright infringement.

These were the problems with the music cartel: they suppressed the availability of music, screwed over musicians, carried on a campaign of indiscriminate legal terror, and lobbied effectively for a system of ubiquitous, far-reaching digital surveillance and control:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/02/02/nonbinary-families/#red-envelopes

You know what wasn't a problem with the record labels? The music. The music was fine. Great, even.

But some of the people who were outraged with the labels' outrageous actions decided the problem was the music. Their answer wasn't to merely demand better copyright laws or fairer treatment for musicians, but to demand that music fans stop listening to music from the labels. Somehow, they thought they could build a popular movement that you could only join by swearing off popular music.

That didn't work. It can't work. A popular movement that you can only join by boycotting popular music will always be unpopular. It's bad tactics.

When we blame "laziness" for tech monopolies, we send the message that our friends have to choose between life's joys and comforts, and a fair economic system that doesn't corrupt our politics, screw over workers, and destroy small, local businesses. This isn't true. It's a lie that monopolists tell to justify their abuse. When we repeat it, we do monopolists' work for them – and we chase away the people we need to recruit for the meaningful struggles to build worker power and political power.

Blog Post 1

Who am I?

Hello, my name is John Perepelkin.

I am a third semester student for Information Technology Services at SAIT in Calgary. I have been enjoying the courses very much, and though it seems difficult sometimes, if I study hard I seem to do well. I have not done a lot of research into what field I want to pursue within IT, but it seems to me that I have a knack for virtualization and good skills with server management. I think though, that cypber-security is a field in extreme demand.

I am an older student, and when I was a child, computers were just becoming PC's. First one I had seen was an Apple I. Very basic. Nowadays the technology seems to almost be outpacing our ability to control it.

I have a wife and we have been married 14 years. Good timing, for this information on the blog, because we met on valentines day, and it is the 13th today. We have one 10 year old daughter, and she is kind, smart and has recently gotten her first degree black belt in tae-qwon-do.

We enjoy the outdoors and in the summer we go camping whenever possible and sometimes we travel to the U.S. or to other parts of Canada. I enjoy fishing, and just being in the great outdoors when we go out.

WHY EMERGING TECHNOLOGY IS RELEVANT

I think emerging technology is important for me, especially as I am in the IT field, and everything I work with involves technology, if the technology is new and improved from an old technology that's great. If it is a completely new technology it is important for me to understand it and how I can affect my chosen field of work.

A new technology can open up new industries, and new fields of employment. Twenty years ago, the internet and networking was taking off at an exponential rate while ten years before that, networking existed only at a rudimentary level. The new technology that had emerged that made our current social network and technological network possible was video cards. The video card enabled a computers memory and cpu capacity to be used for raw data, and the data used to create and transmit video was transferred to the new video cards. That is an example of how emerging technology has effected everyone from then, until now.

Today, the newest technology that everyone is excited, or worried about depending on your viewpoint. This of course is machine learning, or AI(artificial intelligence). From what I have seen this newest technology is in it's infancy. We have learning models that can help us in our everyday work, but these models cannot actually do anything on their own. However the applications for industries and automation seem to be very interesting, it is possible that in the future our manufacturing plants will only need an AI to run it with robots doing the 'hands-on' work. This will be possible revolution for human society, as we will a)have no jobs besides maintaining the AI and the machines, and lots of the work we do will instead be done by machines. Automation to the most extreme point possible.

These are just a few examples of how emerging technology is relevant, in fact it is extremely relevant.

What You Need to Know About Calgary's Property Taxes

Navigating the intricacies of property taxes is essential for homeowners and prospective buyers alike. Calgary’s property taxes can impact your budget and long-term financial planning. Here’s a detailed guide on what you need to know about Calgary's property taxes in 2024.

Understanding Property Taxes

Property taxes in Calgary are levied annually by the municipal government to fund various public services such as education, emergency services, infrastructure maintenance, and public transportation. The tax amount is based on the assessed value of your property, which is determined by the City of Calgary's Assessment Department.

How Property Taxes Are Calculated

Property Assessment: The City of Calgary assesses properties each year to determine their market value as of July 1 of the previous year. This assessed value reflects what your property would likely sell for in an open market.

Mill Rate: The mill rate is a figure set by the City Council and the Provincial Government, representing the amount of tax payable per $1,000 of the assessed value of the property. For 2024, the combined municipal and provincial mill rate has been updated to reflect the latest budget requirements and economic conditions.

Calculation: Your property tax is calculated by multiplying the assessed value of your property by the mill rate. For example, if your property is assessed at $500,000 and the mill rate is 0.0085, your property tax would be $4,250 annually.

Changes in 2024

Several changes have been implemented in 2024 that homeowners need to be aware of:

Assessment Updates: The assessment process has been refined to ensure more accurate valuations, considering factors such as market trends, property renovations, and neighborhood developments.

Mill Rate Adjustments: The mill rate for 2024 has been adjusted to accommodate the city’s budget requirements, including increased funding for public transportation and infrastructure projects. This adjustment may result in a slight increase in property taxes for some homeowners.

Provincial Education Tax: The provincial portion of the property tax, which funds education, has seen a minor increase. This change aims to support the rising costs of education and ensure quality schooling for Calgary’s growing population.

Paying Your Property Taxes

Property taxes in Calgary are due annually, with several payment options available:

Monthly Payment Plan (TIPP): The Tax Instalment Payment Plan allows homeowners to pay their property taxes in monthly instalments, making it easier to manage finances.

One-Time Payment: You can also pay your taxes in full by the due date, typically at the end of June.

Online Payments: The City of Calgary provides an online portal for convenient tax payments.

Appeals and Disputes

If you believe your property assessment is incorrect, you have the right to appeal:

Review Your Assessment: Carefully review the assessment notice sent by the City. Ensure that all details, such as property size and features, are accurate.

File an Appeal: If discrepancies are found, file an appeal with the Assessment Review Board before the specified deadline. The appeal process includes a review of the assessment and an opportunity to present evidence supporting your claim.

Tax Relief Programs

Several tax relief programs are available to assist eligible homeowners:

Senior Property Tax Deferral Program: Seniors can defer all or part of their property taxes through this program.

Low-Income Property Tax Assistance: Homeowners with low income may qualify for assistance to reduce their tax burden.

Conclusion

Staying informed about property taxes is crucial for Calgary homeowners. With the changes in 2024, it’s important to understand how assessments, mill rates, and tax relief programs affect your finances. By staying proactive and informed, you can effectively manage your property tax obligations and take advantage of available resources.

Greedflation, but for prisoners

I'm touring my new, nationally bestselling novel The Bezzle! Catch me TOMORROW (Apr 21) in TORINO, then Marin County (Apr 27), Winnipeg (May 2), Calgary (May 3), Vancouver (May 4), and beyond!

Today in "Capitalists Hate Capitalism" news: The Appeal has published the first-ever survey of national prison commissary prices, revealing just how badly the prison profiteer system gouges American's all-time, world-record-beating prison population:

https://theappeal.org/locked-in-priced-out-how-much-prison-commissary-prices/

Like every aspect of the prison contracting system, prison commissaries – the stores where prisoners are able to buy food, sundries, toiletries and other items – are dominated by private equity funds that have bought out all the smaller players. Private equity deals always involve gigantic amounts of debt (typically, the first thing PE companies do after acquiring a company is to borrow heavily against it and then pay themselves a hefty dividend).

The need to service this debt drives PE companies to cut quality, squeeze suppliers, and raise prices. That's why PE loves to buy up the kinds of businesses you must spend your money at: dialysis clinics, long-term care facilities, funeral homes, and prison services.

Prisoners, after all, are a literal captive market. Unlike capitalist ventures, which involve the risk that a customer will take their business elsewhere, prison commissary providers have the most airtight of monopolies over prisoners' shopping.

Not that prisoners have a lot of money to spend. The 13th Amendment specifically allows for the enslavement of convicted criminals, and so even though many prisoners are subject to forced labor, they aren't necessarily paid for it:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/04/02/captive-customers/#guillotine-watch

Six states ban paying prisoners anything. North Carolina caps prisoners' pay at one dollar per day. Nationally, prisoners earn $0.52/hour, while producing $11b/year in goods and services:

https://www.dollarsandsense.org/archives/2024/0324bowman.html

So there's a double cruelty to prison commissary price-gouging. Prisoners earn far less than any other kind of worker, and they pay vastly inflated prices for the necessities of life. There's also a triple cruelty: prisoners' families – deprived of an incarcerated breadwinner's earnings – are called upon to make up the difference for jacked up commissary prices out of their own strained finances.

So what does prison profiteering look like, in dollars and sense? Here's the first-of-its-kind database tracking the costs of food, hygiene items and religious items in 46 states:

https://theappeal.org/commissary-database/

Prisoners rely heavily on commissaries for food. Prisons serve spoiled, inedible food, and often there isn't enough to go around – prisoners who rely on the food provided by their institutions literally starve. This is worst in prisons where private equity funds have taken over the cafeteria, which is inevitable accompanied by swingeing cuts to food quality and portions:

https://theappeal.org/prison-food-virginia-fluvanna-correctional-center/

So you have one private equity fund starving prisoners, and another that's gouging them on food. Or sometimes it's the same company. Keefe Group, owned by HIG Capital, provides commissaries to prisons whose cafeterias are managed by other HIG Capital portfolio companies like Trinity Services Group. HIG also owns the prison health-care company Wellpath – so if they give you food poisoning, they get paid twice.

Wellpath delivers "grossly inadequate healthcare":

https://theappeal.org/massachusetts-prisons-wellpath-dentures-teeth/

And Trinity serves "meager portions of inedible food":

https://theappeal.org/clayton-county-jail-sheriff-election/

When prison commissaries gouge on food, no part of the inventory is spared, even the cheapest items. In Florida, a packet of ramen costs $1.06, 300% more inside the prison than it does at the Target down the street:

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24444312-fl_doc_combined_commissary_lists#document/p6/a2444049

America's prisoners aren't just hungry, they're also hot. The climate emergency is sending temperatures in America's largely un-air-conditioned prisons soaring to dangerous levels. Commissaries capitalize on this, too: an 8" fan costs $40 in Delaware's Sussex Correctional Institution. In Georgia, that fan goes for $32 (but prisoners are not paid for their labor in Georgia pens). And in scorching Texas, the commissary raised the price of water by 50% last summer:

https://www.tpr.org/criminal-justice/2023-07-20/texas-charges-prisoners-50-more-for-water-for-as-heat-wave-continues

Toiletries are also sold at prices that would make an airport gift-shop blush. Need denture adhesive? That's $12.28 in an Idaho pen, triple the retail price. 15% of America's prisoners are over 55. The Keefe Group – sister company to the "grossly inadequate" healthcare company Wellpath – operates that commissary. In Oregon, the commissary charges a 200% markup on hearing-aid batteries. Vermont charges a 500% markup on reading glasses. Imagine spending decades in prison: toothless, blind, and deaf.

Then there's the religious items. Bibles and Christmas cards are surprisingly reasonable, but a Qaran will run you $26 in Vermont, where a Bible is a mere $4.55. Kufi caps – which cost $3 or less in the free world – go for $12 in Indiana prisons. A Virginia prisoner needs to work for 8 hours to earn enough to buy a commissary Ramadan card (you can buy a Christmas card after three hours' labor).

Prison price-gougers are finally facing a comeuppance. California's new BASIC Act caps prison commissary markups at 35% (California commissaries used to charge 63-200% markups):

https://theappeal.org/price-gouging-in-california-prisons-newsom-signature/

Last year, Nevada banned any markup on hygiene items:

https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/NELIS/REL/82nd2023/Bill/10425/Overview

And prison tech monopolist Securus has been driven to the brink of bankruptcy, thanks to the activism of Worth Rises and its coalition partners:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/04/08/money-talks/

When someone tells you who they are, believe them the first time. Prisons show us how businesses would treat us if they could get away with it.

How Calgary Business Centres Are Transforming the Local Business Landscape

In recent years, the way people work has changed dramatically. Traditional office settings are giving way to modern, flexible environments that foster innovation and community. One of the key players in this shift is the Calgary Business Centre model, which is driving transformation across the city’s entrepreneurial and corporate landscape. These hubs of activity are not just places to work—they are ecosystems that support growth, collaboration, and sustainability.

With the rise of startups, freelancers, and remote workers, demand for more versatile and supportive workplaces has surged. In response, business centres across Calgary—like Astra Business Centre—have stepped up to redefine how businesses operate. This blog explores how these spaces are shaping the future of business in Calgary and why they’re becoming the go-to choice for professionals across industries.

A Shift Toward Flexibility and Functionality

The traditional long-term lease and cubicle-filled office are increasingly seen as outdated. In contrast, Calgary Business Centres offer flexibility that appeals to modern professionals. Whether you're a solo entrepreneur, a growing small business, or a remote employee from a larger organization, these centres provide scalable solutions tailored to different needs.

Short-term rentals, private offices, shared spaces, and even virtual office services have made it easier for businesses to operate without hefty overhead costs. This adaptability is a game changer, especially in a post-pandemic world where agility is essential.

The Rise of Community and Collaboration

More than just a place to plug in a laptop, business centres are now being designed as collaborative hubs. In a city like Calgary—where industries such as energy, tech, finance, and creative services coexist—coworking spaces foster valuable cross-industry interaction.

Many professionals choose a coworking space Calgary not just for the infrastructure but for the opportunity to network. Working in an environment where diverse talents and ideas coexist naturally encourages collaboration and innovation. You might meet a graphic designer, financial advisor, and marketing strategist—all in one shared coffee break.

This environment sparks creativity and opens the door to partnerships, projects, and mentorship. Such synergies are rarely found in traditional, isolated office setups.

A Boost for Startups and Small Businesses

Startups often struggle with finding affordable, professional spaces to operate from. Calgary Business Centres address this by offering cost-effective office solutions without compromising on amenities or location.

With furnished office spaces, high-speed internet, meeting rooms, administrative support, and even mail handling, these centres provide everything a small business needs to thrive. More importantly, they offer a sense of legitimacy that can be hard to achieve from a home office or coffee shop.

The presence of like-minded professionals also provides moral support and motivation. Instead of navigating business challenges in isolation, entrepreneurs can tap into a community of peers who are on similar journeys.

Supporting Remote Work and Hybrid Models

As remote and hybrid work models become the norm, Calgary businesses are rethinking their office needs. Maintaining large office spaces that are rarely fully occupied no longer makes sense for many organizations.

Business centres offer an ideal solution. They allow companies to provide employees with professional work environments without investing in permanent infrastructure. Employees can drop in when needed, work from home when appropriate, and always have access to a well-equipped space for meetings or focused tasks.

For organizations with distributed teams, business centres also offer a central meeting point that is both accessible and professional. This setup supports the work-from-anywhere trend while ensuring productivity and cohesion.

Technology-Driven Solutions

Another transformative aspect of business centres is their integration of modern technology. High-speed Wi-Fi, smart security systems, cloud printing, and digital booking systems make operations smoother and more efficient.

Video conferencing tools and tech-equipped meeting rooms help businesses stay connected with clients and partners across the globe. For companies that rely on digital tools and remote collaboration, these amenities are essential.

Business centres are also integrating contactless technologies and health-conscious design elements—like enhanced air filtration and flexible layouts—keeping pace with evolving workplace safety standards.

Strategic Locations for Enhanced Visibility

Location still matters in business, especially for client-facing industries. Many Calgary Business Centre are strategically situated in prime commercial areas, offering businesses the credibility and visibility they need.

Whether it's being located near financial districts, transit routes, or tech hubs, these centres give businesses a competitive edge. A prestigious address can influence client perception, help attract top talent, and open doors to high-value networking events.

For example, Astra Business Centre, located in the heart of Calgary, offers its clients not only an address but also access to the vibrant business ecosystem that surrounds it. This kind of strategic positioning sets a foundation for long-term success.

Environmentally Conscious and Cost-Efficient

Operating out of a shared business centre often results in lower carbon footprints compared to traditional offices. Shared utilities, communal resources, and space optimization all contribute to sustainability.

Moreover, the shared cost model significantly reduces financial strain on smaller businesses. Expenses like cleaning services, maintenance, office furniture, and internet are all included, allowing businesses to focus more on growth and less on operational logistics.

By reducing waste and promoting efficient use of resources, business centres are aligning themselves with modern values that emphasize environmental responsibility and economic sustainability.

Empowering Freelancers and Solopreneurs

Freelancers and solo professionals often face the challenge of isolation and lack of structure. Working from home may seem appealing, but it can hinder focus and limit opportunities for interaction.

Calgary Business Centres offer these individuals a professional environment that provides routine, motivation, and community. Access to meeting rooms and mailing addresses also enhances their credibility, which is crucial for client acquisition and retention.

Furthermore, being part of a shared environment opens up a range of informal learning opportunities. Professionals can pick up insights, tools, and inspiration simply by engaging with others in the same space.

Enhancing Work-Life Balance

Work-life balance is more than a buzzword—it’s a key component of employee satisfaction and retention. Business centres contribute to this by offering flexible hours, wellness-focused amenities, and a separation of work and home life.

With ergonomic workspaces, comfortable lounges, and often even wellness rooms, these centres encourage healthy work habits. By eliminating the distractions of home and the rigidity of corporate offices, they strike a balance that appeals to the modern workforce.

Calgary’s business community is increasingly recognizing that happy, well-supported employees are more productive and loyal. Business centres play a pivotal role in fostering such an environment.

Fostering a Culture of Innovation

Perhaps the most significant impact of Calgary Business Centres is their role in fostering innovation. By bringing together diverse professionals in a shared space, they create an atmosphere of constant learning and idea exchange.

From attending onsite workshops to collaborating on projects with neighbours, tenants in these centres are exposed to a range of new perspectives. Innovation thrives in such dynamic environments, making business centres a hotbed for growth and creativity.

This culture of innovation doesn’t just benefit the individual—it spills over into the broader Calgary economy, promoting entrepreneurship, attracting investment, and creating jobs.

Why Choose Us – Astra Business Centre

At Astra Business Centre, we believe in more than just providing office space—we offer a foundation for success. Strategically located in Calgary, our centre combines modern amenities, professional service, and a vibrant community.

Here’s why professionals choose Astra:

Why Calgarians Love Local: The Benefits of Shopping at Calgary’s Furniture Stores

In a world of online shopping and big-box chains, Calgarians are rediscovering the benefits of shopping locally—especially when it comes to furnishing their homes. Supporting Calgary’s local furniture stores not only keeps your dollars in the community but also gives you access to better quality, personalized service, and unique finds that make your home truly yours.

Here’s why so many Calgarians are turning to local furniture stores for their home needs, and how it can benefit you too.

1️⃣ Quality You Can See, Feel, and Trust

Unlike mass-produced furniture from big-box retailers, local Calgary furniture stores often carry Canadian-made, high-quality pieces built to last. You can:

✅ Touch and test furniture in person before buying. ✅ Feel the sturdiness of solid wood construction. ✅ Check the comfort of sofas and chairs. ✅ See fabric colours in real lighting rather than on a screen.

For Calgarians, where the climate can shift rapidly, investing in durable, well-made furniture means your pieces will withstand dry winters, busy family life, and everyday use.

2️⃣ Personalized Service That Makes Shopping Easy

Local stores like Showhome Furniture at North Hill Centre pride themselves on offering personalized service you simply won’t find online. When you walk into Showhome’s 70,000 sq. ft. showroom, you’re greeted by knowledgeable staff ready to help you:

This service, offered at no extra cost, helps Calgarians transform their houses into homes with confidence and creativity.

4️⃣ Supporting Calgary’s Local Economy

Shopping local means your dollars stay in the community, supporting local jobs and businesses. Calgary’s local furniture stores:

✅ Employ local staff. ✅ Work with Canadian manufacturers and artisans. ✅ Contribute to the Calgary economy.

When you choose to shop locally, you’re investing in the community you live in—helping it thrive while enjoying a more personalized shopping experience.

At Showhome Furniture, many pieces are crafted with sustainable materials, making it easier for you to furnish your Calgary home responsibly.

8️⃣ A Stress-Free Shopping Experience

Local shopping at stores like Showhome Furniture ensures:

✅ Fast, local delivery options. ✅ Hassle-free exchanges if needed. ✅ The ability to see, test, and fall in love with your furniture before it enters your home.

✅ Weather-appropriate furniture for Calgary’s dry climate. ✅ Pet- and family-friendly fabrics for busy households. ✅ Space-saving solutions for Calgary condos and townhomes.

This local expertise helps you make smarter choices that suit your Calgary lifestyle.
