Edmonton Air Quality

This seems to happen most summers in Edmonton and here we are again: the time of year when Edmontonians are urged to stay indoors because of poor air quality. Is the poor air quality a sign that climate change need to be taken more seriously? Let us know your thoughts on what is going on here!

New UAlberta Logo

The U of A unveiled their new logo design and it's safe to say people are having mixed emotions. Do you love it, hate it? Share your thoughts in an opinion piece! Was this an important thing to do at this time or was money potentially wasted? Let us know what you think!

UAlberta Outsourcing Custodial Staff

Custodial operations at the U of A will be outsourced to the company Bee-Clean. Many are condemning this move as it will likely result in reduced salaries, pensions and benefits for workers. Look into this cost saving move from the university administration and tell us what you think.

Daylight Savings Time

Albertans will vote on daylight savings time through a referendum in upcoming municipal elections. Do you love daylight savings time? Hate it? Or is this entire debate a waste of time?

Wealth Tax

The Liberal parliamentary budget officer just did an inquiry into a one time wealth tax for Canada and discovered it could produce 60 billion in revenue. Are wealth taxes a good path forward for recovery coming out of the pandemic? Will this be a key issue in the next federal election? Share your thoughts!
