Thanks to YEG City Planning + Development for releasing the spatial data.

I have updated the LRT station profiles with open data from the 2024 draft district plans going to council in May.

Adler creates a false equivalency between racism and anti-racism, misogyny and feminism, the far right and the left. It is not totalitarian to tell someone not to be discriminatory, and 'the left' is by no means responsible for the #UCP . #ableg
