Our mayor is suggesting we pay up to $25 to $30 million just to submit a bid for soccer games to be held in Edmonton, the U.S. and Mexico.

We just cannot afford this on top of the $2.4 billion for an LRT which will be forever in debt.

Maybe they should spend some money on items like new equipment, maybe even a snowplow. I just wonder what one of these looks like because I live in north Edmonton and I have never seen one of those in my area.

Call your councillor and mayor and tell them, no, to all of these grandiose schemes.

Question period for holding gov’t to account

Re. “Kenney, Notley dance around climate change,” Graham Thomson, March 17

Graham Thomson demonstrates once again he is more interested in assisting the NDP government than he is in holding it to account. He buys into the premier’s repeated (and misleading) attacks on Jason Kenney’s climate-change bona fides.

Specifically, he claims that Rachel Notley is “right to question where Kenney stands on man-made climate change.” Absolutely not during question period.
