Not so gentle reminder that boulevards are public/green infrastructure that support trees and climate change adaptation. It is illegal to park or drive over boulevards because doing so compacts soil and damages tree roots. Damages elm and ash trees are more susceptible to diseases. #yeg

Alberta separatism has many faces, to be sure. But our research identifies it as a far-right populist movement at its core. Like other FRP groups, they are driven by making society smaller and more exclusive. Rhetoric to that end receives spontaneous applause at their rallies.+

How about a law that all Data Centers must operate entirely off grid using renewable energy. And another requiring their cooling mechanisms use only closed loop cooling systems. How about if taxpayers don't end up paying the bills.

I may be wrong, but I suspect that there are more walnut trees in this row of propagation boxes than in the rest of Edmonton — three species, all grown from local seed sources. #yeg #yegfood #juglans

I know it’s just parking, but I feel like we work really hard to care for this block/community, and it’s really disheartening when the City doesn't meet us with a similar level of care.

Dustin Bajer (he/him) @dustinbajer.com · 16/01/2026

It's less about parking than the wasted physical and emotional labour - it's actually worse because this isn't the first time, and these things chip away at our confidence that the City cares about our community.

Hey, @thecityofedmonton.bsky.social , As a block, we've spent hours notifying neighbours, digging out vehicles, and organizing off-street parking, only to be notified that plowing has been completed. @edmontonanne.bsky.social @andrewknack.bsky.social

From the DM's... UCP MLA says via email that the decision to use the notwithstanding clause was not just about getting students into classrooms... The UCP were worried that arbitration would cost them "hundreds of millions, potentially billions". #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #abed

based on how often the naughty teens of major cities throw the rentable scooters directly into the river i've formed a theory that the many iron age swords and cauldrons found in lakes around europe that we've previously assumed were ceremonial and sacrificial in nature were in fact thrown by teens

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think: In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels. In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

When I learned about Storage Tomatoes, I knew I needed to grow some. Storage 🍅s are bred to have long shelf-lives and can, apparently, sometimes last from harvest to Easter. The skin as thicker and the flesh a little more acidic, but a pretty damn good fresh tomato for the start of December.

The NDP found their numbers! Bill 201 would - increase minimum wage to $18 over 3 years and then index it to inflation. - Eliminate the lower "youth" minimum wage (youth don't pay lower prices, after all) - Ensure tips stay with service staff. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

A lot of questions today about how Danielle Smith -- the "libertarian" and "conservative" -- could use closure & the notwithstanding clause to remove Albertans' Charter rights. The answer: she's neither libertarian nor conservative. Is the province or her party, though? We'll soon find out.+

I'm the next few days, it would be a mistake to: ❌️ limit the resistance to the teachers' demands or saving public education ❌️ make labour/workers/unions the only faces of opposition The UCP's pre-emptive use of the notwithstanding clause is much broader than one strike or one set of rights.

Meanwhile, in Manitoba… At least one premier has a grasp of just how serious using the notwithstanding clause is… And is taking steps to ensure that at least one province doesn’t use it before hearing from the courts. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

🤫 Nobody tell David Staples this is all because of the changes me and my UCP have made to how municipal elections are held in Alberta. Let's see if he can use his "journalism" skills to figure it out on his own!🤭 #abpoli #yyc #yycvote #yeg #yegvote

A social media post by David Staples, columnist with the Edmonton Journal Post Media Newspaper, posted on October 27, 2024 which reads: The huge win for everyone on all sides, left, right and centre, is an election where everyone believes the results are credible. We used to do this effortlessly. Vote on Election Day with proper ID. Vote with paper ballots. Votes counted by citizens with scrutineers.

A social media post by David Staples, columnist with the Edmonton Journal Post Media Newspaper, posted on October 20, 2025 which reads: Unbelievably stupid process to vote in Edmonton. Do they have no voter list anymore? Where they quickly check your name, ID and give you a ballot? Long line up to fill out paper with name/address, line up again so someone can check paperwork. Idiotic slow, stupid process.

A snippet from a news article stating "The process for voting is different this year, which can impact the time it takes to vote. All electors are legislatively required to complete a Statement of Eligibility Form (Form 13) at the voting station. This form is a declaration by an elector that they meet the required legislated criteria to receive and cast ballots. Also, some electors will need to be added to the permanent electors register before receiving their ballots. This can take time. We ask Edmontonians to plan ahead and please have patience.
