Many of us have a personal connection to Canada’s military history. For me, my Great Uncle was wounded in the First World War.

In the short term, the City stands to collect tens of millions in new revenue as prices soar.

With last week's friction at city council, there has been much talk in the community about council effectiveness and cohesion. The blatant personal attack by the Mayor on the CAO, regarding corporate staff restructuring, showed that things are fraying between the Mayor, administration and the rest of council.

Our city owns its own power generation. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Does council have the knowledge and ability to steward our power production into the future without making major financial and/or political mistakes?
