‘St. Albert Insight’ and ‘The St. Albert Think Tank’ were among the groups that expressed concern with some of the City’s plans.
St. Albert Insight released a modified picture that showed Crouse sitting on a toilet, eluding to the fact that he’s throwing taxpayer’s dollars down the toilet. The Think Tank went as far as to put billboards on the streets of St. Albert, outlining which councillors and mayor voters should elect.
