  The twisted story of how the UCP encouraged the growth of Alberta's population while halving the the province's support of city budgets. Plus the premier's apparent plan to gerrymander city ridings. https://thewalrus.ca/alberta-called-people-came-and-now-cities-are-stuck-carrying-the-costs/

  I have to clean up some mouse droppings and luckily stumbled on this... "Droppings should not be swept or vacuumed, the agency said.
