August 24, 2023 – A digest of issues raised with me over the summer, including inflation/cost of living, the ill-conceived “plan” to get to net-zero electricity by 2035 (Ottawa’s goal) or 2050 (Alberta’s goal), an assault on natural health products, the bungled legislation that has led to Meta (Facebook/Instagram) removing news links from their sites, and housing policy, which is probably the #1 issue I’m hearing from constituents.
