Right now rising housing costs are contributing to an #affordability crisis in #yyc. The average rent rose a shocking 22% in the last year, while the cost of buying a home is seeing the fastest increase in the nation. Demand > Supply. #yyccc #yychousing

"CNRL, which posted $2.8 billion in earnings in the third quarter of 2022 alone, tops the regulator’s list with 22,536 inactive wells." Clean your own GD wells up. You don't need a taxpayer funded handout.
