Edmonton Headlines for November 5
Let's get this day rolling.
Good morning, Edmonton.
Did you sleep alright?
I hope all the H1N1 stories in the news aren’t giving you bad dreams.
If they are, I have bad news for you; today’s news is chock full of them again.
But there’s other stuff in there too. The Premier tells Global TV-Edmonton that public employees better like the idea of a wage freeze, or they’ll be facing pink slips as the government tries to balance its books.
