“We are thankful for the overwhelming response from the community, small businesses, and large food-chains, including Safeway, Loblaws and other generous donors. With all our proceeds going to those in need, we have spread the love to the Calgary Food Bank and the Salvation Army. Currently, our hampers serve 25 plus families of 4 each day.” Chahal notes “The resiliency of Calgarians was on full display, as neighbours were helping neighbours, and paying it forward. There are some great community stories coming forward, and it’s great to see everyone working together.”
Even if you were in favour of less gun rights or wanted more, reasonable people reading the new ‘Assault-Style’ weapons ban should have some alarms going off because it’s seriously badly written, illogical on different levels, and is overall blatantly contradictory.
World trade increases competitiveness in the marketplace and reduces costs to the customer, but it should never be done at the expense of the health and safety of our citizens. Canadians do not trust China nor do we want to be involved with and dependent on China any longer.
Dziadyk advocated that Edmonton needs to step up its standards and be more strict with who gets city contracts to do roadwork based on past performance. He said, “Regarding the companies completing the work, they need to meet the standards that we set out, and they should not be re-awarded contracts if they do not perform,” which seems to be a public policy philosophy that has finally taken hold in Edmonton.
When mayors and city councillors favour one group ahead of the rest, the rest need to sound the alarm. To warn its residents and taxpayers that the rule of law has been subverted.

The endorsement, which may come as a surprise to some given the historic candidacy of Dr. Leslyn Lewis, the first black woman to run for the leadership of the CPC, came after “a reflective and methodological” evaluation of the candidates.

This is what makes them so dangerous. “
Despite an international arms embargo in the region, they managed to win their independence war, or the “Nakba” as Rashida Talib calls it, which leads me to my next point. Due to the overwhelming odds in favour of the Arabs initially, many Arab Palestinians were moved off their lands by the Arab armies who promised their return following the war. Therefore, most of the 750 000 Arab refugees never saw an Israeli soldier.
Farkas sought the legal advice of the Honourable John Major, C.C., Q.C., a retired Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada. He concluded on May 10th that Farkas did not violate the code of conduct and that City Council had no grounds for expulsion because of political expression, counteracting the report by the current integrity commissioner and former justice Sal Lovecchio, who cites Farkas was inaccurate. “As an elected city councillor, you have a primary duty to your ward but also a general duty to the whole of the city and its citizens, says Major.
MacKay: I believe that meaningful reconciliation with Indigenous people needs to go beyond just words. We should be seeking partnerships with Indigenous people on new projects, especially those that have been approved by democratically elected Indigenous leaders.
