Edmonton's small-scale infill has led to thousands of homes built for in the places people want to live, millions of dollars invested in this province, and a stable demand for construction jobs. We don't need the province making it harder to build homes. Freedom to build: that's the Alberta way.

Christine called ☎️ in about the infills going up in her community. She is not the only one.

Edmontonians have been telling me the same thing for weeks.

I am listening. Would appreciate seeing your comments below from folks who live in Edmonton. What do you think about infill and blanket rezoning?

"Stacked area chart showing H1 building permits issued in Edmonton from 2009 to 2026, broken down by four neighborhood types (Downtown, Mature, Between Mature and Henday, and Outside Henday) and seven project types (Single detached, Addition/Conversion, Backyard House, Duplex to Fourplex, Fiveplex to Eightplex, 9+ Row House, and 9+ Apartment). Downtown shows minimal permits throughout the period. Mature neighborhoods peak at over 3,000 permits in 2024, dominated by single-detached homes. Between Mature and Henday and Outside Henday neighborhoods show more volatile trends, with Outside Henday reaching nearly 4,000 permits in 2023. Single-detached homes (dark purple) comprise the largest share across most neighborhoods and years, while apartment and row house projects (orange tones) remain a smaller but consistent portion.

Yes, fine, talk to the separation question, number 10. I'd like to understand when these senior leaders will speak to the other nine questions. Those questions are far more dangerous. And everyone in industry knows Alex Pourbaix treasures the warm relationship he has with Premier Danielle Smith.

Chasing my kids around meant I was a little late for the start of the ride… but it turns out I was right on time. Great ride all around, amazing turnout, thanks to @criticalmassyyc.bsky.social for organizing. So many new faces. Nice seeing CPS and bylaw out with the assists. #yycbike

The US auto sector is an anchor, and Canada needs to free itself as much as possible from its clutches in order to avoid going down with it.

I, in turn, disagree. The biggest problem with our transit is the idea that subways are the only acceptable form of it. Want to get from city to city? That's what regional transit is for. GO rail and bus services need to improved massively rather than just building the subway farther and farther out

Useful context for Alberta’s anti-inmigrant referendum questions. We are not being “flooded” with newcomers. And scapegoating immigrants for longstanding structural problems with our public health care system, in particular, is gutter politics. #cdnpoli #abpoli #notothenine.

Donald Trump's "deal" with Belarus on potash was an obvious (and empty) bluff. And yet, Pierre Poilievre's MPs were more than willing to believe it -- and blame the federal government and a non-existent carbon tax instead. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/23/o...

Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives can’t wait to buy Trump’s bullshit

Donald Trump's latest economic threat involves replacing Canada's potash with imports from Belarus. The official opposition decided to blame ... the carbon tax?

Seriously, just a normal dude who is just hitting it out of the park every day. With all the cynicism in politics, it’s refreshing to see someone who still remembers what it’s like to be a kid. Amazing.

Yes though from the Toronto context, I think the left here often gets to "explain why it has happened" and then assume the argument is over; a lot of time and words were expended explaining why Rob Ford's criticisms of City Hall lacked important context and basically none of it mattered.

Couldn’t ask for better conditions on the hike from Sunshine Village to Mt Shark this weekend and a bit overwhelmed with the amount of photos/videos I took, so here’s a handful of Assiniboine shots. Couldn’t have asked for better weather.

As days get shorter it's time we light up the night on our bikes! Deck out your ride and yourself! We will be setting up a little early this time (around 5:30) with a limited amount of colourful wheel, frame and handlebar lights available to give out and install. See you soon #yycbike
