www.theglobeandmail.com How to build apartments fit for familiesIn Edmonton, a move toward more flexible buildings laid out around a single set of stairs
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!

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.
