1 CITY COUNCIL WANTS YOU TO RECYCLE They said so last night. The big news: instead of the cost for a mandatory curbside recycling program getting worked into your property taxes, you’re going to get a bill. I just sneak my cardboard recyclables into the Trifon’s bin that my apartment building backs out onto, so I don’t think this will change my service.
2 HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO TRY TO BE THE PC LEADER IN ALBERTA? $40,000, because they should take this seriously. No word on what it would cost to kick someone out of the race.
3 CONSERVATIVES HAVE THEIR FIRST REGINA PRESS PARTY OF THIS ELECTION And what does Ian Shields, the candidate who won’t be attending today’s all-candidates forum at the university, have to say? “The strategy is to talk to as many people as possible,” says Shields.

6 KEANU REEVES TEASING US WITH BILL AND TED 3 INFO He gives us a little bit of the concept, but mostly just reveals he’s already in character for the film at all times.
