Edmonton’s Headlines

Some of the Twitter-folk out at Original Joe's-Varisty Friday night, for Conan's final Tonight Show. Good show and a good time.

Welcome to the most depressing day of the year, Edmonton.

Who has time to come up with this stuff?

I’m sure you had a wonderful weekend, and things look pretty good for this week too. Even as that colder weather creeps back in… Let’s prove all that hooey wrong and just enjoy our January 25.

The Edmonton Journal’s Scott McKeen is trying to get into that summer state of mind with a little zen.

Just think warm thoughts.

from the Edmonton Journal:

Business school earns U of A global kudos

Ontario loan a lure to Nisku firm

Housing for worst offenders proposed

Liepert wants action not consultation (Go Ron Go! Don’t bother talking to people, just do stuff. That’s going really well over in your former cabinet portfolio of health.)

Preston Manning lends a booming voice to to blossoming Wildrose Alliance

Desperate measures reflect deep problems (There’s another story on the Northland School Division from CBC, below.)

Outspoken chief was once ‘quiet kid’ (Here’s where we get into some profiles…the next two stories too.)

Detective had infectious passion for policing

Boy grew to be dinosaur hunter (But not the Turok kind of dinosaur hunter.)

from the Edmonton Sun:

$6,000 raised for Haiti relief

Emergency rooms critical: report (The report is due later this week.)

African Mafia threatens new level of violence

Fans stand by Oilers (Last in the NHL standings but first in our hearts.)

from The Canadian Press:

Alberta Tories backpedal amid dismal poll results

Snelgrove labels Wildrose Alliance: “A force”

from 630CHED/iNews880:

Funeral today for Edm-based soldier

Edmontonians rally against proroguing parliament

from CBC Edmonton:

First Nation blames province for band’s poor performance (Great chicken-egg question here about government funding of education.)

Edmonton firefighters save girl, 15

from CTV Edmonton:

ETS bus collides with a semi truck

Local families await the arrival of their Haitian children

from Global Edmonton:

Homeless memorial (Remembering those on the streets who died in 2009.)

That should just about get us caught up on Edmonton news.

    An ETS bus collided with my roommates car this weekend as well. Sadness. :(

    Are you saying that ETS buses are going “Maximum Overdrive” on us?

    We need to alert the military.

    Yes keep mentioning Turok – Start a trend! My first edition super hologram embossed gold lamme print comic book from the 90′s will then be worth enough for a mocha.
