Prime Minister Carney launches Build Canada Homes to supercharge homebuilding across the country Today, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, launched Build Canada Homesย โ€“ a new federal agency that willย buildย affordable housingย at scale.

I applaud the Federal government for choosing Edmonton as a pilot city in the multi-billion-dollar Build Canada Homes initiative.

As Mayor, I will partner with all levels of government to leverage this investment to make housing affordability a top priority, and a reality for Edmontonians.

Thank you Edmonton Chamber of Commerce for hosting the first mayoral debate last night, and to my fellow candidates for a meaningful conversation about Edmontonโ€™s future.

My vision is clear: a stronger Edmonton that puts people first.

Today, we gathered to honour the bravery and sacrifice of our firefighters.

Firefighters dedicate themselves every day to protecting our lives, communities, and environment.

Thank you to the Edmonton Firefighters Memorial Society for ensuring we never forget those who gave everything in service.

This week, I revealed my evidence-based plan to improve traffic safety programs and make our streets calmer and safer.

This includes creating a dedicated Traffic Safety Team to crack down on unsafe driving and excessively noisy vehicles.

Accountable Leadership and Transparent Governance โ€” Andrew Knack for Mayor My commitment to you. My challenge to my competition.

I would like to challenge all candidates to do the same.

Edmontonians deserve transparency.

City Hall must stay independent, accountable, and focused on delivering the services families count on - not serving special interests.

Did you know about this loophole?

While some candidates say theyโ€™ll disclose their donations by the September 30 deadline (as required), they donโ€™t have to report any contributions received after July 31 until well after the election.

Itโ€™s no secret: The housing crisis is real.

We must build more homes to stay ahead, ensuring affordability and housing options instead of growth in new areas that will drive up costs.

At the top, inside a light blue box with a black border, bold black text reads:
"Albertans Deserve the Full Truth Before Any Vote"

Below, in the middle section, inside a light purple box with a black border, is a centered quote in black text:
"it can be implied through the referendum process that Albertans have a right to know what theyโ€™re voting on and having answers that might determine their vote."
In italics underneath, it says:
Court of Kingโ€™s Bench Justice Colin Feasby August 7th, 2025

At the bottom, inside a white box with a black border, is black paragraph text:
"This is exactly the problem with the Alberta Next panel โ€” itโ€™s set up in a way that hides the full consequences from us. Without transparency and honest information, Albertans are being asked to decide without truly knowing the impact. The videos and town halls do nothing to get to the truth โ€” they only give the illusion of engagement.

Thatโ€™s not democracy โ€” thatโ€™s manipulation."

The Alberta Next panel includes a retired judge in a process that hides the full consequences from voters. Justice Feasby says Albertans have a right to knowโ€”I wonder if the retired justice on the panel agrees. #ABleg Are we every going to have correct info?
