COMMENTARY
+ candidates for Mayor are having fun – dissecting the mis-information on a land deal approved two years ago . . . distraction extraordinaire; it seems the LaCaille Group bought city land below market, city officials didn’t advise elected officials of conflicting valuations as part of an affordable housing project . . . tic toc . . there is more to come out of the mud slinging; oddly none of the candidates have suggested the obvious – the police need to investigate the start-to-finish of the Louise Station project.
+ Embassy Development Corp., a Bosa Development Corp. sub, is acquiring land in the EastVillage to develop $300 million project in partnership with Calgary Municipal Land Corp.
+ kudos to Dick and Lois Haskayne, donating $2 million to the city of Calgary for a riverside interpretive centre
