Mayor Kramer has been one of my favourite people to work with this term through our service on the Homeland Housing board. He's thoughtful, kind, and wickedly smart. Westlock is lucky to have him!

St. Albert is removing the Grandin name from municipal assets and renaming the Grandin neighbourhood.
The meeting preceding the decision included some public discussion that, one councillor suggested, amounted to revisionist history/settler colonialism.

Residential school denialism: what is it and how to recognize it | CBC News
Residential school denialism does not deny the existence of the school system, but rather downplays, excuses or misrepresents facts surrounding the harms caused by it, experts say.

While Albertans struggle to pay their bills, today, UCP MLAs voted to give THEMSELVES a raise and boost their own caucus budget by more than $1 million.
Albertans deserve better.
