The Alberta Emergency Alert test sounded off at least five times on Wednesday, but I wonder if anyone in the UCP government actually noticed.
After all, there’s been a five-alarm fire roaring in downtown Calgary for years, yet the provincial government has done little to help.
And there are no clear signs in this week’s provincial budget that aid is on the way.
Last year, the Kenney government allocated $5 million to the cause of Calgary’s downtown. It was, in the words of Calgary’s mayor, a “pittance.”
