"Personally, I don’t agree with anyone’s decision to travel during these times, but I do appreciate Ms. Hughes valuable role on St. Albert City Council. All governments work best with a variety of members that have a diversity of ideas, opinions and perspectives, all contributing to healthy democracy and more informed decision-making."

"When an apology reads more like an accusation, it's easy to tell them apart."

"I commend Councillor Hughes for stepping up to work for the citizens of this community."

"What we saw was a sidewalk full of children, maybe 20 to 25 of them all dressed up in their winter gear. One student came up to the door and placed this wonderful card in our mailbox then continued on down to the end of the line and let the next student do the next house."

"But then we remembered the travel restrictions ... so what could we do?"

"Mr Kenney, why wait for the next election to receive your consequences for your bad judgment, that also showed poor leadership?"

"My wife and I often walk or run around our neighborhood in Erin Ridge and we have both been pleasantly surprised by the awesome dog owners."

"Instead of worrying about the actions of others in their dealings with ‘rules’ surrounding how to act during these ‘extraordinary times’, worry about your own actions."

"Despite the actions of these politicians, the public needs to be steadfast to reduce the number of families who must endure the painful loss of loved ones."

"Nevertheless, hundreds of Albertans felt the sting of loneliness and isolation while many of our politicians felt entitled to get on planes and fly to tropical places."
