Lorne Gunter: Great idea won't work to cut Edmonton property tax increases Ward Dene Coun. Aaron Paquette has a good idea to fund annual property tax increases. Rather than jacking up taxes on city residents year after year, Paquette wants to grow the Ed Tel Endowment Fund to $6 billion from $1 billion over the next decade or decade-and-a-half, then use the annual interest to offset increases in property taxes.

Lorne Gunter: Activist federal judges rewrite Canadian Charter, endanger property ownership Many readers will be aware of a recent spate of activist rulings from federal judges in Canada, like the July ruling by a Toronto judge that there exists a heretofore unknown Charter right to bike lanes.

Lorne Gunter: Carney's big-spending budget won't stop Canada's economic slide The federal Liberals pushed two themes in advance of Tuesday’s budget introduced by Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne.
