• Saturday's letters: Nurses' contract unreasonably generous

  05-04-2025 12:00 via edmontonjournal.com
  
  I don't understand it so maybe somebody can explain. Alberta's nurses were just handed a pay increase of 20 per cent over four years with an immediate increase of 15 per cent.

  A: Let me start off by saying how sorry I am that you lost your home. You and all the other brave homeowners in Jasper are an inspiration to all of us.

I think about the people who are on very restricted budgets who cannot afford a data plan, or even a cellphone. Read More
