Someone took down some of the panels from the billboard. But they are getting reprinted.

We need more high-denisty development by stations. This article points out that "70 per cent of residentially zoned land within a 10-min walk of most CTrain stations being reserved for very low-density homes."

Opinion: Walking the walk(shed) on transit-oriented development in Calgary

Majority of land near C-Train stations zoned only for low-density housing. This should change to medium and high-density.

Noticed this on pg 61 of Alberta's proposed Bill 54. Why would we start depositing campaign fund overages into General Revenue?

Also, what do they mean if the "identity is not known". You must track the names of who donates money to your election campaign.

Have you heard? There is now a pro-choice billboard on Alberta's QEII. The billboard costs $35/day to stay up. They are collecting donations here: abforabortion.ca#story

ABforAbortion | It's Your Choice.

Volunteer-led, community-funded. This campaign is a love letter to all Albertans, because everyone deserves the freedom to choose.

We need rent control in Alberta. This is out of control.

"Whose rent on his one-bedroom unit is set to increase to $2,695 per month from $895 on July 1."
