Town council approves STAR loan and bylaw updates
Town council approved a 500000 loan for STAR to finish the old church building now used by STAR on 54th after no local objections. The Emergency Management Act amendments prompted bylaw revisions delegating local emergency declarations to EMA and EMC and allowing two agency members or two council members to sign. The investment incentive bylaw received second and third readings, offering tiered municipal tax credits over five years with new annual review provisions.

Canadians weigh risks of uniting with the United States
Harrison argues a hypothetical Canadian union would strip provinces of power, end Medicare, and draw Canada into US military ventures. He notes taxes would rise, and few Canadians back the idea, except some Western supporters unhappy with Liberal leadership and Alberta’s stance. Trudeau’s resignation and Liberal defeat are cited as unlikely precursors.
