YouTube video by CityNews Report: Alberta city councillors shouldn't be on police commissions

A new report from an Ontario Court of Appeal Justice recommends Alberta update the Police Act to ban city councillors from sitting on local police commissions, among other changes. #yeg #Alberta #Edmonton youtu.be/1kRnJWvfyBg?...

Do you have names of other political scientists in Edmonton who specialize in municipal politics you’d like to recommend? Always open to finding new voices, but there are not many I know of who focus on this locally.

He’s one of the few political scientists who live in Edmonton who specializes in municipal politics, and that’s why I reached out to him. He is an expert whether or not you agree with him, and I’m sure some political scientists would agree and disagree with him.

Nah. I reached out to Chaldeans because he’s one of the few political scientists in the city who specialize in municipal politics. I didn’t know what he would say until I interviewed him. I don’t predetermine the outcome of any of my stories.

Police believe they know who killed 83-year-old Edmonton woman Ruth Clarke, and dumped her body in a well. Police are asking landowners north of Edmonton to look for old wells on farmland as they search for her remains. #yeg #coldcase #Alberta #Edmonton

Election night pizza is a newsroom must!

The comments take you on quite the journey! www.facebook.com/share/p/1Chh...?

Comments range from praising the candidate for being hardworking to suggesting people may answer their door armed if you drop off a flyer at night.

The candidate join in and gets into arguments, at one point apparently threatening legal action against another person who says his screenshot is fake.

Post in the St. Albert Chat Facebook group says: “Anyone know this person. He was going house to house checking porches on Noah close. **update** I contacted Mark Cassidy regarding this. He admitted he was out putting pamphlets out at this time. I advised him that it was very startling having someone going around houses at this time and that my neighbour is a single lady. She didn’t have a mailbox so all he did was look around her porch and keep walking. He blew me off and was quite rude. If you were thinking about voting for him I’d seriously consider. I told him I am trying to let him know the concerns and he was rude and had no time for it.”

Two images side-by-side. The image on the left is a screenshot of a doorbell camera footage at 12:06:18 am showing a man. The image on the left appears to be the same man whose face is on a flyer which states “Mark Cassidy for St. Albert City Council”

Delivering your election flyers to doorsteps at midnight — good idea or no?

This St. Albert candidate was spotted on a doorbell camera at 12:06 am a couple days ago and caused quite a stir in the local Facebook group.

Absolutely fantastic photo for this Globe And Mail story www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...
