Alberta renters have it bad. Part of the reason is the dismal amount of non-market housing options available in this province.

Alberta renters don’t need more ‘supply’ — they need non-market housing options
Governments keep chasing the market while community housing providers quietly deliver stable, affordable homes that won’t disappear when profits rise

Honestly, “brought to you by Bank of America” is the funniest way that statement can end.
CNN has a show with a similar line. That the problem with this country is we just aren’t talking to each other.
It’s the kind of diagnosis that a toddler would land on.

Danielle Smith tried to sell her federal-Alberta energy deal to the UCP convention crowd: tepid applause.
She told them that this proved Canada can work well for Alberta’s interests: loud boos.
This ain’t a base that wants Smith to work with a Liberal PM on a better industrial carbon tax.
