Alberta’s Chief Electoral Officer is doing his job Danielle Smith doesn’t like it.

A few thoughts on her misguided demand he rubber-stamp her supporters’ petition to force a referendum on separating Alberta from Canada.

More UCP arrogance, incompetence & corruption.

Jeff and I were scheduled for Covid vaccines today, got to the pharmacy and told we couldn’t after all because not over 65 and immunocompromised. So we need to wait til October and pay (but even then it’s not a given they’ll be available). Thanks and fuck you, Alberta government.

Just like Edmonton Transit’s record ridership, our campaign is welcoming more people aboard every day.🚉

Together, we are building a city where everyday people can build extraordinary lives; where affordability unlocks opportunity, with better transit, safer streets, and housing that’s within reach.

This is the important work of a city council and municipal government. It's rarely headline-grabbing, but making neighbourhoods safer, block by block, is what it's all about. Ashley is one of the best in North America at understanding this, and making needed change happen in Edmonton.

Creating safe and livable streets is one of the most consistent concerns I hear from community members across Ward Métis. It crosses generations and neighbourhood boundaries. Everyone should be able to move around their neighbourhood with confidence. #yeg #WardMétis

Edmonton councillor calls on minister to reverse photo radar cuts after 20th traffic fatality of 2025 "Given what we've been seeing on our streets, given the surge in fatalities, I do think the province needs to reconsider their approach."

Door knocking with these amazing folks! Thanks to everyone who opened their door to talk about our communities!

Great conversations about public transit, community safety, infrastructure, and keeping party politics out of city hall.

Tracking Canada’s fascist fight clubs CBC’s visual investigations team reveals where some of Canada’s white nationalist 'active clubs' gather to prepare for violence.

Tracking Canada’s fascist fight clubs.

The members of these fight clubs, known in white nationalist communities as “active clubs,” are hiding in plain sight in Canada.

These losers know they’re unacceptable to society by hiding their faces and locations.

Colbert has the highest ratings of any late night host.

"Financial reasons" my ass. This is political.

I'm at the Alberta Next panel for Sherwood Park/Edmonton. Phone battery is low, but will be live tweeting what I can in this thread ⬇️

Look I love a good lobby group as much as the next guy, but when the builders are saying that sprawl and greenfield development don't harm a city as much as it actually does.. I have questions.

Sure, those communities are net + now, but wait until major road/infra needs done. Climate goals? Gone.

Alberta gov't fell short of its affordable housing goal last year: annual report | CBC News The provincial government completed fewer new or refurbished affordable housing units last year than the previous three years, according to figures in the Seniors, Community and Social Services Minist...

Alberta wanted to create 1,500 affordable housing spots last year. It created a little more than half.

Cartoon of road jammed with cars between single detached homes in suburban, car-dependent sprawl.

Hey, remember when car and oil companies successfully lobbied governments to create car dependent cities and suburbs, and once we became almost completely car dependent, WE became the loudest, angriest champions of unhindered road space for cars, unnaturally cheap gas, and subsidized free parking?

Technically spending, but bingo!

Cracks appear in Cartmell's Better Edmonton coalition Candidates on Cartmell's slate hesitate to give their leader votes of confidence in wake of infill controversy

All of Tim's candidates taking different opinions on his illegal moratorium on infill, actually makes the party system more confusing for voters. The UCP claimed a party would demonstrate consistency in position or policy. #yeg #yegcc

My Strange Canada Day with the Alberta Separatists | The Tyee Globalist conspiracies, convoy karaoke and a far-right German politician under the central Alberta sun.

“Better-adjusted people would have spent Canada Day going camping or floating on a river.

“Instead, I rented a Nissan Sentra, slapped on a cowboy hat and drove down to Mirror, Alberta, for a separatist rally that checked all my boxes for weird, far-right esoterica.”

I’m sorry, but trying to forward a motion that would open the city up to class action lawsuits and raise taxes on Edmontonians is, in my personal opinion, absolutely unhinged.

What a grasping, sad, knowingly doomed to fail move.

Local arsonist expresses surprise that so many people are calling the fire department.

Mayor candidate Tim Cartmell says he will make a motion June 30 to place a moratorium on all new infill (at least for awhile). I'll wait to hear more, but this seems like a bizarre overreach. What's the message to home builders, to young and new residents looking for affordable homes? #yeg

POLITICIAN ANNOUNCING AFFORDABLE HOUSING PLAN: I want more affordable housing except that the value of any of the housing can't decrease and also there shouldn't be any more actual housing but, other than those two things, we should have more affordable housing.
