Good morning, Edmonton!
I’m in a good mood today because I made all kinds of meals last night and I’m going to have the sweetest lunches ever, all week.
It’s the little things.
If you’re up for some numbers, the budgets and expenses of Edmonton city councillors and the mayor are out. This is nice information to read through in an election year. There will likely be a few stories on this in tomorrow’s headlines.
And hey, it turns out I’m not the only guy in town looking at headlines. Mack took a month’s worth of actual newspaper headlines, from the Journal and Sun, and word-clouded them. Take a look and see if anything pops out to you.
Oil and gas review has Liepert smiling
Golding’s ‘crude’ take on Riel stirs controversy, debate (Dave’s got the pamphlet at his website here.)
Charges against company dropped (And now we ask, why?)

Teen turns life around (See, there’s good stuff in the news.)
Grasshopper plague possible (Dun, dun, dunn…)
Highrise condo proposed for downtown east (There’s a meeting about it on Thursday.)

Time for a salary review, says Liberal MLA (And she says it should be done by an independent group.)
Council buries gravel pit idea for time being
Business owners to fight massage parlour license (Tony Caterina is against something. But this time I’m kind of on his side. I know!)

More Edmonton students caught cheating on diploma exam
MADD calls for change after rash of roadway fatalities (They want the blood alcohol limits dropped.)
More puppies (And why the Edmonton Humane Society takes in all these dogs over here.)

Scientists decipher dinosaur colouration
That’s Tuesday for you.
