It begins. (It being winter.)
Good morning, Edmonton.
There’s plenty of good stuff in the news today, which doesn’t involve murder-for-hire plots and laser eye surgery. I hope you’ll read some of those instead of the sexy murder story.
I’m still reeling from the headline about NAIT’s proposed 40% tuition hike (?!) over three years. I don’t know if that means NAIT is going for the gold or times are tough or black is white and up is down.
There’s also lots today on health care cuts and a couple of stories on bus service to the airport. The city is looking at a direct route from Century Park’s LRT station, while the region is looking at looping through Leduc and Nisku. Why doesn’t anybody just offer direct routes around here? I don’t always need to zip through three different neighbourhoods, sometimes I just want to get from point A to B.
NAIT plans for 40-per-cent tuition hike (You know you’re NAIT, right?)
City losing direct route to Mexico
Airport bus service has competition from capital region (Great, now we’ll have empty cabs AND empty buses riding around…)
New spending election rules miss mark
Cop sought son’s file (Which opened up an internal police investigation.)
Animal activists want Edmonton elephant’s medical records, may not sue city
Students protest proposed school cuts at Alberta Legislature
Council looks at “active transportation” to save cash (NAIT LRT is already delayed.)
Catholic school budget now set
New traffic cameras catch speeding, running reds
660 Alberta health vacancies to go unfilled
Efforts to get airport bus service stalled (Umm, tough economic times?)
Two inmates escape Bowden Institution
I’d say that about does it for today. Let me know if there’s a story out there I missed.
