Edmonton displaced more encampments than Toronto, Calgary, Montreal, or Ottawa in 2022 and 2023 so far, according to this excellent reporting by @zac_goudreault of @LeDevoir.

Germany set to propose a 3-year rent break across the country, as tenants struggle to cope with the soaring cost of housing.
“We need to create breathing room — we need a rent freeze for the next 3 years”
If Germany can do it, so can [insert country]

On September 20th City Council is considering giving profitable corporations a subsidy to turn their vacant offices into apartments.
Tell Council that lower corporate profits are not the responsibility of working families.#yegcc #corporatewelfare workingfamiliesedmonton.ca/a…

We can’t expect politicians will solve the housing crisis if they’re landlords and benefit from the housing crisis.

Looking forward to Edmonton City Council getting painted as “defund the police“ enthusiasts by their opponents over the next three years even as they inflate police budgets to record levels. 🥳

will public transit and libraries get less money with this police funding formula. yes. did andrew knack support it. also yes. but at least he wrote a blog post about how hard it was to vote for the status quo.

Today we discussed a new funding formula for @edmontonpolice. I had a chance to write a blog about my decision to support the revised funding formula. Please take a few minutes to read through this and let me know if you have any questions. #yeg #yegcc andrewknack.ca/blog/epsfundi…

after a lot of tough talk and tough questions city council have given the police everything they asked for. i'll have to go through the numbers but based on my original skim the eps budget is likely to climb to a half billion dollars on sohi's watch.

The new funding formula passes 9-4, with Janz, Rutherford, Salvador, and Stevenson opposed. #yegcc #yegpolice #yeg

In “good news you might’ve missed amidst climate chaos,” Ecuadorians have voted to halt all new oil development in Yasuní national park, the sacred homelands of many Indigenous peoples.
The move will keep about 726 million barrels of oil in the ground.

Can't stop thinking about Suncor choosing this moment of ALL POSSIBLE TIMES to announce they're going to turn their focus away from long-term energy transition and double down on oil sands production.
Burning the planet under no illusions.

we are just letting atco, transalta and others enron us on the regular. this is why power prices in alberta have spiked.

The free market does it again: chaos in Alberta's privatized electricity system is now contributing materially to 🇨🇦 inflation (hence higher interest rates, risk of recession, etc.). Meanwhile, prov's with publicly-owned & stably-regulated power (BC, Que, Man) have stable prices.

There are 137 wildfires burning in the Northwest Territories right now. 137.
That’s 9 less than the number of times the fossil fuel industry met with the federal government in one month alone.
These corporations don’t give a fuck about our future.

Alberta commits another $45 million to #hydrogen -- an enormously speculative & expensive fuel which prolongs dependence on fossil gas -- while stalling solar and wind, which are available, effective & affordable

If I were the official opposition I would start repeating, non-stop, that the UCP needs to reverse its job-killing restriction on renewable energy
