THE PEOPLE CRAVE TRAINS

I think it's about time to start up Screaming into the Ravine again

I have so much rage

Oh, wow, this is amazing to see. It's actual recommendations and guidance on the importance of clean indoor air - including against the spread of viruses like Covid. Indoor air risks to people's health are clearer than ever, and now we must implement these standards like we did for clean water.

Love to see Better Edmonton losing

Many from Metis who disagree with Ashley Salvador have been very mean spirited. The Facebook comments were especially nasty.

That's why it's good to see Councillor Salvador cruising towards a victory with more votes than her two closest competitors *combined*.
