The blanket rezoning bylaw will force homeowners — all on their own, with no idea how to defend themselves and their property that they have worked, sacrificed for and been taxed for — to battle with hardened experienced builders and developers. They wanted to retire or live out their days in peace, not be faced with battles, loss of trees next door and potentially being overshadowed. The city should pay for a legal expert to represent such disadvantaged folks.

UCP MLA Eric Bouchard (Calgary-Lougheed) has organized a town hall event with discredited doctors and spokespersons who cater to an anti-science agenda. Its purpose is to urge the government to reform Alberta’s vaccination policies.
Setting public health and childhood vaccination policy in this way is dangerous. Misleading and false information poses serious threats to the public’s health. Where is Alberta’s chief medical officer of health (Dr. Mark Joffe)? Where’s AHS’s senior MOH (Dr. Laura McDougall)? Their absence and silence on this critical issue that affects the health of our children is unacceptable.
Albertans need them to provide evidence-based information to counter the debunked anti-vaccine agenda that is circulating.

The federal conservative leader, like our provincial counterpart, has the complaining and moaning part down to a science. When in doubt, blame Trudeau. We have been waiting for years for the federal and Alberta conservatives to come up with an intelligent and viable alternative to a pollution levy. That seems to be beyond the grasp of those trying to sell the carbon capture and storage scam to us all. Everyone knows oil and water don’t mix and under their direction, big oil will win as our water taps run dry from fossil fuel-induced climate change. You can’t drink tar.

Re: Taxpayers watch as billions of dollars wasted, Opinion, May 17
George Brookman has given a good description of what results when governments vastly exceed their mandates and capabilities. He goes on to ask whether “the public” has either decided they cannot change the system or are too content to make the effort.
I suggest that apathy is not the problem and that the inability to change the system definitely is. The system allows a politician to gain high office without disclosing his true objectives. The damage Justin Trudeau has done to our country will take decades to repair but he can continue to govern by satisfying Jagmeet Singh’s socialist ambitions.
I am certain that there are millions of Canadians like me who want to replace Trudeau before he does more damage to the country.
Taxpayers are angry and frustrated because they have been misled into electing incompetent politicians who then are able to realize their destructive, previously undisclosed, personal ambitions.

New Canadian sanctions against ongoing settler attacks in Palestine are reasonable but unlikely to have the desired impact. Equally important is the need for Canada to stand up against all violence against civilians, especially violence against children, to reinforce the maintenance of humanitarian access corridors, and to protect the unique needs of children living in emergencies around the world. At the G7 in Italy in June, Prime Minister Trudeau must set an example and defend children using his outside voice!
