January 28th Edmonton, AB Headlines

You can rest soon, Ugly Betty. You can rest soon.

I think we talk a lot, Edmonton. And maybe we talk about ourselves a lot.

I mean, if you look at the new Twitter local trends, you can see Edmonton (#yeg) is one of the ten most talked about things in Canada, by tweeters. Then again, maybe that just goes to prove that our online community is truly engaged. You’d have to be to have enough mentions to surpass cities that are larger and have more people on Twitter.

Or maybe we just like talking about ourselves.

One thing I know, from the headlines, is that we have a lot of art gallery, arena and health care to talk about.

from the Edmonton Journal:

City Hall turns blind eye to brothels: councillor (Probably because they pay for their business licenses on time.)

Ponies could make way for pucks (When do they send the Oilers to the glue factory?)

City scores hat trick with new art gallery (The Journal also has an interactive tour of the new Art Gallery of Alberta.)

Daryl and Renee Katz donate $500,000 to Art Gallery of Alberta (The art gallery made its budget, so he could save that cash and put it into a privately financed arena.)

Some fear hospital’s future still in doubt (The Alberta Hospital, that is.)

Another Stelmach flack goes overboard

Confucius Institute brings everything Chinese to Edmonton

from the Edmonton Sun:

City over-sized garbage bin campaign deemed succcess

New Democrats call for health reforms (Yeah, whatever, fourth party. Seriously though, they do a good job.)

Carbon-capture guidelines eyed

Lawyers debate Svekla designation (Will he be deemed a “long-term” or “dangerous” offender? The difference greatly impacts his chances of leaving prison.)

from the Edmonton Examiner:

School aims to raise 18K for Haiti

Good Neighbour Awards nomination period set to open (I don’t hate my neighbours. Is that good enough?)

from Global Edmonton:

Toyota halts vehicle sales (This is a massive recall because gas pedals are sticking and the cars then speed off.)

from SEE Magazine:

A National Portrait Gallery ripped from our headlines

from Vue Weekly:

Renew Politics: Progressive Alberta try anew (The other new party.)

School diversity (The Northland School Division.)

First Impressions (Story #193 on the new Art Gallery of Alberta.)

Vuepoint: Real Help in Haiti

from The Gateway (U of A):

U of A Sociology professor questions effectiveness of surveillance tactics (Do cameras make you feel safer?)

Patients could suffer from rampant bias in drug trials: U of A researcher

Now, make it happen.
