Shame on whoever is organizing this turnout.
Disappointing that fearmongering literature against much needed supportive homes is being distributed in River Heights.
Attend a City info session next week & sign up to speak/send written comments for the Sept. 12th hearing to SUPPORT supportive homes!

By charging $100 for COVD vaccinations, the Province of Alberta is undermining efforts to prevent a disease that killed more Canadians than the number of Canadian soldiers killed in World War 1.
This is unconscionable and dangerous. #cdnpoli

Besides being idiotic and hate speech - this podcast by the National Post, saying 'Natives=Hamas' is one more piece of evidence showing that support for Israel's crimes in Gaza leads to hatred of Indigenous people here at home (and vice versa).
