All those folks along 132 Ave. went to meetings, beseeched city hall and even brought in their MLA to try and get their concerns heard about the neighbourhood renewal planned for their area. They were completely ignored and city hall stuffed their vision down those folks\u2019 throats. Councilperson Erin Rutherford takes a drive down 132 Ave. and \u201cpoof,\u201d the dawn of realization shows that maybe someone should have listened to what the citizens had to say.

This Liberal government is so corrupt that they will resort to backroom deals to get a majority government. There has to be more to this than just a bunch of dissatisfied MPs who just happened to change parties. This is just something to ponder as we think about these floor crossings.<\/p>\n LORNE VANDERWOUDE<\/p>\n (Floor crossings happen both ways but it\u2019s not an ideal way to form a majority.<\/p>\n BOTTOM LINE<\/p>\n Why are people so upset about us making trade deals with India and China?

New bike lanes west of 97 Street along 132 Avenue have reduced a four lane road to a two lane road, in Edmonton Friday Oct. 3, 2025. The change has left some residents with no parking in front of their homes.
