Well yeah, people have known this for half a decade now. The COVID rate freeze implies steeper increases later.

Running down the list of the names of Edmonton's wards, they're almost all indigenous names that are unpronounceable to most people. Changing the names of wards hasn't remedied the challenges faced by indigenous residents. It was a futile attempt at reconciliation by a council hungry to say that it did something.

well I'm just glad it is now done. I was getting tired listening to the rhetoric. AND Cartmel and Caterina are no longer part of council.

Not surprising, they have been consistently quite critical of city council. I suppose they are entitled to their views, but I thought they should at least give it a pause for a bit after the election and wait and see what the new council does before rushing to conclusions and judgment
However, given the election results I am not sure if their opinions really have much impact anymore though beyond their declining readership base or even with them.

….? No…. She started a non profit that does education and advocacy on garden suites. And because of its success locally and nationally, she built up a base of support that helped her get elected.

False disinformation statement. Please retract from the record.

From that Lorne Gunter article:
"Working Families Edmonton, the union-backed coalition that organized for all of the successful leftist candidates, has said, “Taxes help Edmonton.” They are “an investment in our city,” that “strengthen affordability (and) enhance well-being.”
That’s the mentality Edmonton taxpayers will be up against for the next four years.
I know the author is biased (massive understatement), but I think to conform to his viewpoint would require the most narrow-minded of thinking. These editorials often lambast "tax and spend liberals". I certainly don't prefer a "tax and don't spend" government we may be familiar with.

Property developer consultants to be more clear. Non-profit doesn't mean anything, believe me.

Unless you have evidence of these accusations, I would retract it, mate. You never know who could be reading these.

If a city was to backtrack on their rezoning, which was a requirement I thought of receiving that significant investment of federal housing accelerator money, I wonder what would happen with those dollars.
