Not sure where it was but the head of Ford talked in an interview about how his daily car is a Chinese EV because they're so far ahead and he needs to learn. That says pretty much everything.

My urbanist hot take: Jaywalking is a life skill.

The forward-biased cockpit was the bigger innovation here, carried on from the previous gen. Conforming to what the others were doing rather than innovating has not been great for Mercedes.

The biggest energy story in Canada nobody’s talking about How the energy MOU paves way for a nation-building electricity superlink across the West

Electricity is a huge conversation for the future thanks to AI and data centres.

A weird observation, but Andrew Knack's sheer delight at doing his dream job is a hard to quantify win for Edmonton, regardless if you agree with his positions. He's just buzzing now that he gets to be mayor and that energy helps council.

I'm a bit confused why you need a fleet vehicle to manage a pedway, but what do I know?

Watching council's budget deliberations has me frustrated with the process but unsure what to suggest to fix it. Each motion affects the overall budget and therefore each subsequent motion. It's like granular decisions in absence of big-picture analysis.

Private money to keep Core Patrol operating downtown in 2026 A National Bank of Canada investment of $330,000 into the Edmonton Downtown Business Association's Core Patrol program will allow it to resume its daytime operations for the entire year.

The number of fires this group has responded to shocked me.

Controversial casino licence changes hands in $5.8M deal The licence for a casino set to be moved from Camrose to south Edmonton, while still sending charity proceeds to rural Alberta, has been sold in a $5.8-million deal.

Coun. Tang has just introduced a capital motion to add $600,000 to the budget for planning and design of widening Parsons Road. Tang mentions the potential for a casino specifically.

We reported on how this would land on council's lap before the election.

"Pass or fail, I appreciate the discussion today, I respect all of you, I love all of you, but I really, really could use this win."

Coun. Rutherford pleads, unsuccessfully, for her council colleagues to support a motion to fund design for playgrounds in several neighbourhoods full of newcomers.

Just wow.

We have a lot of those, mainly because we think in roads.

Go ahead, call them streets instead of roads. Try it. See how your thinking can shift with just that change.

My son went to Pedalheads at this facility this summer. We were even able to bike to it.

Principe motion to defer costs on demolishing Argyll Velodrome gains support from Stevenson, Salvador, Tang, Elliott, and of course Principe.

Motion defeated, but that, to me, was an interesting vote split for the new council.

The dying light is making me incredibly tired this year.

Listening to council discuss Blatchford ...

The flipside of "rage" over parking in front of infill (there are several eightplexes on my block and no rage (shrug)) is that more cars parked on the street force drivers to slow the bleep down on the streets in our neighbourhoods.

The belief that teams are conspiring for or against something has infected the conversation about McLaren, Ferrari, and new the world championship in 2025. The F1 internet clearly can't accept that events can happen at random or without conspiracy.

'Free and independent Alberta' question draws loud applause at UCP's annual general meeting UCP members erupted in cheers when asked if the room was in favour of a "free and independent Alberta."

Easily my favourite house in Edmonton. So unique.

He can't keep the downbeat attitude and remain in the sport. I think he's retiring rather than staying in 2026.

Braid: Smith scores a major victory as Ottawa retreats from a decade of meddling Premier Danielle Smith wins many concessions from Prime Minister Mark Carney, but the main one is a federal retreat from meddling in Alberta

Smith: “We don’t fight for the sake of fighting. We don’t look for conflict when there’s an opportunity for peace and prosperity."

Do you agree with this?
