  City officials have identified 659 dangerous crosswalks where vehicles are moving quickly and pedestrians don’t have proper protection.
  But at Edmonton’s current rate of crosswalk investment – $2 million a year – it will take the city 29 years to deal with them all.

  The Edmonton Oilers entered the 2017-18 season with optimism. But along the way, much like in the great Dickens novel, Pip (sorry, Peter!), encountered a mob of colorful characters. Some were good, some evil, some cold and indifferent. Virtually nothing Peter Pip envisioned went as planned.
  In the book, of course, the hero Pip eventually triumphs. So what, then of the hockey hero Peter?  It is fair to accuse Peter Chiarelli of both over and underestimating how certain th

There’s virtually nothing at all about Suzuki but lots about the role of universities in general.
