With National Housing Day, the Alberta government is pledging to increase its efforts to address housing affordability in the province. From the start of 2024 up until October, the province saw an estimated $38,000 houses being constructed, which is more compared to last year. “The reality is though that while Alberta is having success we recognize that there are still many struggling to find housing and to meet their needs. Which is why we know there’s more that needs to be done,” said Nixon. Alberta saw an increase in population by about 200,000 last year. One organization stated that while the funding is a start, there’s still a lot more that needs to be done. “We didn’t have a real housing crisis and the government didn’t invest in affordable and community housing over the years the same way. And now we’re here and we’re trying to meet the growing demand, so we are playing catch up,” said Irene Martion-Lindsay, the executive director of Alberta Seniors and Community Housing Association. Martin-Lindsay also says that there has been a growing demand for the adult population needing affordable homes. “This has been happening for a while and it’s really hard for them to be prioritized, but the older adults that aren’t seniors that are in that 55 to 65, they’re really struggling because of the lower-end fixed income,” said Martin-Lindsay. This is not the first time Alberta invested in affordable housing, in 2022 the government put $189 million into supporting units and shelters within 15 communities. The province opens the application for the new housing development this Friday up until January 31, 2025.The most famous football mom will have an appearance in her second Hallmark Channel Countdown to Christmas movie tonight.

Speaking at the strategy meeting held on December 18, Pichai, with an undisclosed group of executives, detailed plans for the next year but did so wearing sweaters in the spirit of the holidays. “The stakes are high,” Pichai said, urging the employees to recognise how important this moment is. His statements come even as the race for dominance in AI continues toe-to-toe with industry giant Google adamant about reinforcing its leadership by scaling Gemini in the consumer space. Pichai did not shy away from the reality that Google still has some ground to cover in the competitive game called AI. He emphasised that, although the Gemini model had some early success, 2025 will be a tough time to reach a status where it can meet its competition and still happen to be successful, thus suggesting bonding over a 2025 project. He pointed out that the Gemini application has garnered “incredible momentum”, but said that obstacles lie ahead and urged speed if Google hopes to stay ahead in the race of technology where rapid changes occur almost instantaneously. Gemini, Google’s flagship AI model, is set to play a central role in the company’s strategy next year. Pichai described scaling Gemini for consumers as Google’s “biggest focus” for 2025, signalling an all-hands-on-deck approach to expanding the model’s capabilities and applications. This includes integrating Gemini into more products and services to enhance user experiences. As AI continues to reshape the tech industry, Google is betting big on Gemini to secure its place at the forefront of innovation. Pichai’s rallying call underscores the high stakes in the AI race, where speed and execution could determine long-term success. With 2025 on the horizon, Google is gearing up for what could be one of its most defining years yet.
