    Write to your MP, MPP, MLA, MNA, Senator, or preferred local media outlet to tell them you expect them to dig deep into the Doug Ford corruption story as well as indicted-in-the-USA-for-trying-to-steal-an-election Mike Roman's links to Stephen Harper and Andrew Scheer. And tell them you want them to do more to house the homeless.
    If you live in Alberta, you have until April 22 to register to vote in the AB NDP Leadership race.
