Did anyone hear about Steve Wong, the young man who was diagnosed with gastric cancer with a good prognosis? He tragically died on Friday, 16 weeks after his diagnosis. His final days were extremely painful as the tumour grew and fractured his spine. He never got an oncologist appointment...

I am sure any city would drool at their mayor having the ear of the prime minister.

I love this Alberta abdication of its core roles. It strengthens our direct Edmonton - federal connection. We are basically the Edmonton Territory, Canada's 4th territory, as things should be.

Down with elite international design competitions. Long live equitable community engagement!

Imagine renting an apartment that first faced a road only to find it now faced a park. What luck!

A lot of buildings built just before the Pandemic required significant street-level commercial. Now that much retail has shifted online, a lot of apartment building owners are changing those retail units to residential or office space.

We need to put all our roads on diets and beautify with thousands of kilometers of sidewalks.

Laurel is also the top neighborhood in the city for multi family households and new basement suites. That area honestly needs much more public services!

I hope he doesn't spend the next 3 years trying to divorce from the national NDP and instead focus on the issues affecting all Albertans. Polls show NDP and UCP tied. Last thing we need is divisive infighting.

Agreed. Edmonton is giving away too much free land in the suburbs to make urban renewal possible.

Love it

I think they only show the worst of Edmonton. There are a lot of young males for whom it is their only news source. I think that can bias views. I have heard they have been threatened with lawsuits for spreading lies and defamation.

How can we improve the discourse around all the great improvements currently underway in Edmonton when most people get their news these days from YEGWave, which is basically a scam account trying to appear legit?

Sus. Shouldn't engagement on such a big project be led by a public agency, not costly for-profit consultants?

Because it's all in car centric suburbs?

This is false. The provincial and federal governments rely big time on other income sources than taxes that cities can't use, such as foreign investments, international tariffs, and such.

Twin Brooks Station is part of the funding agreement with the 2 other orders of government. Cut TB and it loses 67% of the funding. Generally would rather like the 1.34 billion spent on the Northwest extension.

Cartmell 's continuous beating of this dead horse proves without a doubt that he is unfit to be a mayor. He will languish as the lame duck grand senator-councillor of pihêsiwin for the rest of his political career.

Don't respond. They are trolling us.

I and many others on this forum would argue they are being very productive because they all agree on a common vision, as opposed to Calgary's absolutely insanely toxic council.
