Lucy is featured in this documentary filmed in Canada, the US, Sri Lanka, Brazil, Argentina and Swaziland, the docu-film contrasts the difference between elephants confined in zoos with elephants thriving in their natural habitat. The film is centered around Lucy, Edmonton Valley Zoo's 50-year-old elephant, and the work of animal rights advocates as they attempt to have Lucy moved from the Edmonton zoo where she can live with other elephants.

How to build apartments fit for families (www.theglobeandmail.com)

This has been an issue for a long time and one of the reasons I think there is a stigma against families living in apartments. I've been going to zoning meetings recently and one of the main things I hear is "we need single family housing because we want families to live in the neighbourhood!". Why can't families also live in apartments or condos? Hopefully changes like this can be implemented and create these options!

Liberals drop Rod Loyola as Edmonton candidate with less than a month to go before polls open (www.cbc.ca)

The party did not comment on its reasons for parting ways with Loyola. Loyola has not responded to request for comment.

The party's decision to drop him as a candidate comes after the National Post reported they had found a video from 2009 in which he appears to be praising Hezbollah and Hamas at an anti-NATO protest. Both are listed as terrorist groups in Canada.
