Downtown Calgary office towers to be converted into affordable housing with new grant - Calgary | Globalnews.ca
The grant is funded through the Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF), in which future installments may be at risk depending on whether Calgary city council repeals citywide rezoning.

A key part of that mission is converting federal lands into housing more quickly.

Canada agreed to pay for the full cost of construction, land acquisition on the US side, and connecting Interstate highway links, AND also isn't charging tolls on the US side of the bridge. This amounts to saying America should be allowed to steal Canadian money.
Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on Trump's bonkers US-Canada bridge tantrum: "There's a valid concern on the part of the president that this bridge was allowed to be built, they didn't necessarily use American content. There's a question as to the proceeds of tolls."

When lower rents are combined with lower home purchase prices over that period, and lower interest rates, as well as lower gas prices, and lower inflation numbers, affordability happens. Homes, cars, gas, and debt make up a huge percentage of household income.

16 straight months of average asking rents decline in Canada.
That doesnt mean your rent is coming down, but it does mean renters have more options, less increases, more leverage, and ultimately lower rents overall - which is a key measure of affordability.

Yeah, that was my thought too … high poll numbers for a government always tends to increase the odds of an election in Canada. Always has as far as I can tell.

As a child of and parent of people with disabilities, I would remind the President and Board that inclusion is a human right protected by the charter.
They have a legal and moral responsibility to inclusion policies, and that everybody benefits when everybody is included.

I don’t think an election is imminent, it seems to me like the government is more focussed on a series of byelections, perhaps this spring.
But if one were to happen, or progress in the house is stalled because of the current dynamic, then I think Canadiens might want a major majority government.

I’m not so sure, it’s possible that having a majority government in Ottawa is more favourable to Canadians during a referendum than the current situation where separatists could control a balance of power.

If we are to take this Alberta referendum seriously, then maybe we should analyze the impact of the province, losing 77% of its population.
Would this create an ultra wealthy 23% in a new country? Is that what separatists believe?
Looks more like devastation to me.

If Albertans vote to separate, there could be mass emigration, with 77% saying they'd leave.
