I didn't mince my words. Alberta's anti-immigration referendum questions are racist. They are also a potential disaster for Alberta's economy. Last night, I rose in the Senate to denounce them - and to thank all the thousands of Albertans fighting against them. Please share. #notothenine #cdnpoli

Today on the unpaved section between the Coke Plant and Clearwater Dr, a truck with a blade was scraping the edges, leaving some very rough spots, so hopefully they'll be back to finish. Probably a provincial truck; couldn't tell for sure. If it's abandoned, why the new work? Maybe there's hope.

The French translation of this title is immediately below.

Below the titles is the Children’s Long Covid Network (CLCN) logo. This includes a graphic of a highly stylized hand, palm up, in a dark teal colour. In the hand are three figures in a coral pink colour. Beside this graphic is the organization’s name and tagline, which reads: “Children’s Long Covid Network
