In a fiery campaign launch at his alma mater, Edmonton's Michael Janz promises to keep pushing the Overton window In a fiery campaign launch at his alma mater, Edmonton's Michael Janz promises to keep pushing the Overton window

Pitching to a crowd of about 150 at his campaign launch on Friday, Edmonton city councillor Michael Janz vowed to fight back against a UCP takeover of city council—and to stand on matters of principle even when they don't poll well.

Former Conservative MP Rahim Jaffer has filed his notice of intent to run in the October municipal election. He’s expected to formally announce his candidacy for Mayor of Edmonton next week.

Jaffer was the MP for Edmonton Strathcona from 1997 to 2008 and now runs a restaurant on Whyte Ave.

How I hate Canadian elections, and Canadian colonialism.

and the people running the campaigns? soulless, cynical hacks who need to be shot into the sun.

and jagmeet singh and the ndp seem to revel in their failure and incompetence. in a time when they should be gaining seats it looks like they'll be lucky to hold onto official party status.

it's cold comfort that it looks like the snivelling loser who wore a suit to his undergrad poli sci classes won't be prime minister. however, mark carney is the perfect embodiment of the soulless, technocratic, uber-capitalist Liberal party I hate.

cannot say enough how much i despise the leaders and the senior leadership of canada's three major political parties. whatever the result tonight we all lose.

I see nothing in the Liberal Party platform that could improve safety for people who use drugs, but plenty to make their lives more difficult & dangerous.

Reads to me like doubling down on drug war failures: more cops w/ more powers, harm reduction unmentioned. Alberta model goes federal.

Alberta to eliminate due process for people who use drugs The Alberta government is going full MAGA with its Compassionate Intervention Act, which will strip people who use drugs of due process and force them into months-long medical incarceration.

4,000+ youth forced into withdrawal under PChAD (2016–2024). How many died after release without a treatment plan? #ableg is expanding involuntary care for adults without showing outcomes.
Danielle Smith said “let’s just give it a try” .. um, let’s not.
We need data, not deaths

EXCLUSIVE: EPS couldn't find volunteers for ceremony honouring Dale McFee, so it paid overtime The Edmonton Police Service had such difficulty finding volunteers for a ceremony honouring outgoing chief Dale McFee that it had to pay officers overtime and ask EPS lawyers to participate, according...

"to mark the transfer of power from McFee to interim co-chiefs Warren Dreichel & Devin Laforce, which was followed by a reception in McFee’s honour."

Seems to reflect poorly on the interim chiefs too.

This story leaves out critical context. The issue is not that the UCP govt is merely funnelling interview requests from Alberta's Auditor General through a lawyer. The issue is that the lawyer or a senior ministry official must be present when civil servants are interviewed. 1

have you considered that you're a bad person and a bad writer?

Canada's latest white supremacist/Nazi org is going away from the irony poisoned Diagolon name to the much more up front SS Canada.

On March 27, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith will be speaking alongside Ben Shapiro at PragerU’s east coast gala.

Our two choices for PM are an imbecile and a bankster yet the NDP is so incompetent that they are losing ground

just an interesting factoid. i was arrested and charged in October 2022.

Oh no

The Edmonton recipe for fixing urban ills: 'Every crisis creates an opportunity' Edmonton police tamed the city's encampments by not doubling down 'on stuff that doesn't work,' says their former chief, now Alberta's top bureaucrat Author of the article: Dave Gordon, Special to National Post

Edmonton has returned to near-record EMS dispatches for opioid poisoning. It's an unmitigated massacre of unhoused people.

Police allied w/ "downtown business recovery" & developers in the most vulnerable neighbourhoods, plus proponents of Alberta Model bear responsibility.

Again: it's a massacre.

can someone make an alert that pings me whenever private equity acquires a company i've ever had a mild fondness for
