  04-04-2025 12:00 via edmontonjournal.com

In Canmore, a radical new tax policy threatens to transform property ownership from a well-earned right to a highly-regulated privilege — potentially driving some owners to sell, threatening investors and turning a once strong community spirit into a corrosive, adversarial relationship.
