Friday the 13th: Jason Writes Edmonton Headlines
That winter, and now gas prices, is really hitting Edmonton’s budget hard. We’ve gone from a surplus to a deficit in just a few months (and without doing all that much). Speaking of the City needing money…It’s going to cost you more to park in Edmonton (at meters anyway).
I enjoy the endless debate of LRT vs. BRT (that’s bus rapid transit). Yes, it’s likely cheaper to claim a lane as a bus lane and zip some buses around on more express routes. But, as this column mentions, while you can find plenty of folks who like taking a train, subway, maybe even a streetcar (in my opinion) you won’t find many people talking about how much the love public buses.
The Journal’s business section has a lot of stories on Stantec. But, I guess, Stantec does kick a lot of business butt.
Police in Edmonton and Leduc have used DNA to link a man, already charged with a sexual assault, with other assaults in Edmonton, Vegreville, and B.C.
Guards at the Edmonton Remand Centre have been complaining of unsafe conditions. Today, an inmate is dead and another is charged with his murder.
While wildfires begin to burn around Alberta, the City of Edmonton is reminding people to be careful with their cigarette butts, since firefighters were putting out fires all over Edmonton because of careless smoking.
The wind we’re experiencing is not helping contain those wildfires. And in Edmonton the wind is knocking out power.

Do you miss Premier Ed Stelmach already? He says we’re ready for the next boom. This time.
What about David Swann as Liberal leader? Do you miss that yet?
Some of the early costs of an oilspill cleanup are starting to come in. With about one third of the spill cleaned, the costs will be going up. It’s the worst spill in Alberta in four decades.
Beginning this fall you can ask to see your home inspector’s license.
*****
Leduc is keeping it local. Which is kind of ironic since they’ve got the Edmonton International Airport right there.
Get ready for your parents to move in with you.
Laughter continues to be thought of as a good medicine.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is coming to Edmonton. I had to double-check this didn’t have anything to do with press junkets for the new Conan movie.
Watch out for black cats today.
May 10 Edmonton Headlines
There’s some murder and death in today’s news. Tough to avoid it today.
It’s going to cost a lot to preserve pieces of Edmonton’s history. And the City doesn’t have the cash to do it alone.
Work continues to get Edmonton’s neighbourhoods upgraded.
Attending games at Commonwealth Stadium may end up costing you an extra dollar or two. But you may find yourself in a much more comfortable seat.
Portions of Edmonton’s river valley are closed to a Project KARE investigation (that’s the task force investigating the disappearance of “high-risk” individuals in the capital region).
Edmonton police have determined homicide, and tampering with a gas line, was behind an explosion in the Lago Lindo neighbourhood last summer.
It doesn’t happen often in the courts, but the crown and the defense agree that a man should not be held criminally responsible for killing his wife because of “heavy metal toxicity.”
The investigation of the suicide of an Edmonton-based soldier is going to investigated, after his family complained the Canadian military didn’t try to help the soldier. Meanwhile…at the University of Alberta…the school is the first in Canada to create a chair for rehabilitation of injuries to soldiers…
*****
The Green Party of Canada says the company behind the largest oil spill in 40 years has a dismal record outside of Canada. The Environment Minister isn’t worried about how companies may operate outside of Alberta.
It’s kind of neat how much Alberta Conservative minister Ron Liepert likes superboards. He was health minister when the regional boards were scrapped (and now, just a couple of years later decision-making power is being returned to regional levels) and now as the Energy Minister he’s pushing for a board to oversee all oil, gas, energy, and mineral files.
As new power lines are proposed and planned there are warnings about how much that could cost us on our power bills.
*****
Perhaps one day, soonish, we will be able to text 911 in an emergency.
This summer, you can take a trip to a new city within Edmonton. It’s called Fringeopolis.
Oh, and there’s a new hotel in the west end.
May 6 Edmonton Headlines
Another week is in the books Edmonton. And after that federal election on Monday, it’s been a little quieter in the news.
The Health Quality Council of Alberta says more has to be done at the Edmonton International Airport before the City Centre Airport can shut-down to medevac flights. That’s not all that’s happening on the City Centre Airport front…Envision Edmonton is appealing the latest court ruling that its year-late petition wasn’t valid…and the Edmonton Flying Club is suing the City over the pending closure of the municipal airport.
On Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Quebec City and the NHL: “If somebody is willing to write off all your expenses, you don’t need quite as much revenue to cover those expenses.” Yeah, that pretty much sums up the downtown arena debate. What private business WOULDN’T want government to pay for its new office? Also to keep in mind, the capital budget is going to be full of tough decisions for future City projects.
The City is going to be looking at covering up smoking products and bongs in window displays.
The city is supposed to be one of the hottest economies by year’s end.
An Edmonton bus driver, viciously beaten by a passenger, says he isn’t ready to go back to work and that’s put his Workers Compensation benefits in jeopardy.
Edmonton police have released a sketch of a person of interest in reports of the latest attempted abduction at Montrose School.
Get ready for the last phase of the 23 Avenue interchange construction. Which means some diversion for drivers.
An Edmonton soldier disappeared while on a run in the river valley.
The Alberta government is being told not to rely on oil and energy revenues for day-to-day stuff. Oh, now that it’s in a report I’m sure they’ll listen.
Speaking of oil…the Premier’s criticizing the company behind the largest oil spill in the last four decades…
And speaking of energy…coal is potentially going to be a hot topic if the federal government moves to shut down plants that 45-years-old.
*****
The Telus World of Science is going to expand. Big time.
The University of Alberta is looking at better design, to help make our homes accessible to all.
Cinco de Headlines
Hey there, Edmonton, let’s do this news thing. I know you like it.
You’ve only got a few more days to let the City know what you think of The Way We Green. That’s the environmental plan for the next number of years.
The Edmonton Catholic School District may be facing tough budget decisions without a lot of money coming from the Alberta government, but it is looking at expanding its French immersion school.
While arson is down this year, so far, May 4 was declared “Arson Awareness Day,” in the hope of bringing more light to what is not in fact a victimless crime.
Edmonton Police have charged a man after three women alleged to have been sexually assaulted when heading to a home for a job interview. Even if a business is in a home, I think it’s probably still a good idea to meet people from the Internet in a public space.
The second annual Victims of Homicide Conference begins today in Edmonton.
Edmonton’s industrial real estate market is picking up steam.
The Valley Zoo begins a new chapter today, trying to re-brand when zoos sometimes feel like relics of a different place, a world where information about any animal is readily available at the click of a mouse. (The computer kind of mouse.)
If you take a buzz by the Kingsway area, you’ll notice construction on the LRT line to NAIT, and also on the new Indy racetrack.
Edmonton’s urban landscape could be improved by small things like a little more lighting here, more open space there, art on more walls.
*****
Alberta’s largest oil spill in a generation may be affecting people living in a nearby community.
Your health information will, one day soonish, be at your fingertips. Right now, the Alberta government has simply launched a website full of general health information. There’s also a new wait time website.
Alberta’s Workers Compensation Board is providing coverage for four more cancers for firefighters.
The workplace safety blitzes continue to turn up lots of violations, and next on the inspection list is places young people will be found in larger numbers over the summer months.
Partners are being sought to help the provincial government build up to $100-million in affordable housing.
We are more likely here, in Alberta, to default on our mortgage payments than anywhere else in Canada.

There’s nothing wrong with admiring someone’s great pair of short-shorts, but let’s remember that they are actual people. And let’s remind the Badminton World Federation of that.

April 11 Edmonton Headlines
Welcome to a new week, Edmonton. I am starting to get my hopes up that spring is really, truly here.
Edmonton’s new police chief is now officially known. While he’s currently the top uniformed RCMP officer in the country Rod Knecht does have Edmonton, and Alberta, connections.
A city council committee will look at the LRT expansion plans this week, considering building it in six stages.
Beyond the new Royal Alberta Museum, how much of downtown’s redevelopment has to come from tax dollars? While Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto are larger cities, they did see new arenas go up without public money.
The City of Edmonton is weighing in on a controversial powerline to built outside the city. Like a lot of others, the City wants to see power lines goes underground.
Edmonton is the site of an interesting study on the cost of eating healthy, and when money doesn’t necessarily mean the best diet.

Let’s take a peek deeper into the news bag to see what’s happening… (more…)
March 25 Edmonton Headlines (and a rant)
Good morning, Edmonton, and welcome to the end of another fine week.
After a few comments about the City of Edmonton’s downtown arena web pages in yesterday’s Headlines I think that’s where I’ll start today. Because I can’t just go into the weekend without fussing.
March 24 Edmonton Headlines
That's not the kind of iced coffee I meant.
Good day, Edmonton. How’s this spring weather treating you?
Don’t forget to keep your sidewalks clear of ice and snow, which can vary depending on the time of day with our early spring weather. Even though it is still snowy, pothole repair is underway.
The U of A’s Campus Saint-Jean is getting nowhere with a new parking lot over in Bonnie Doon.
Speaking of parking…which makes me think of driving…we’ve got to get transit-oriented here in Edmonton. And then we have to stick with that.
Now that reminds me of my favourite comment on a transit story we were talking about yesterday. Somebody replied to this Journal column by saying drivers subsidized transit. Ha…ha…oh man, people believe that?!
Put up toll booths and then we’ll talk about which form of transportation is subsidized. I mean, come on…
And, get ready, because we might just be heading into a federal election. The mayor thinks that might mean more money for our LRT expansion.
Alright, I’m done talking about transit now. (more…)
Monday Edmonton Headlines
For a Monday, we’ve got a lot of news to catch up on. So let’s get to it, Edmonton.
It sort of quietly happened on Friday afternoon, but Envision Edmonton lost its court bid over the City Centre Airport. Pending appeal, and probably a lawsuit or two, this means the re-development goes ahead. We should find out in spring which design the new neighbourhood will get.
The Journal’s Gary Lamphier has some good questions about the downtown arena. Namely, for a project that’s kicked around for a few years, how can so many questions remain unanswered? And why are no other business owners stepping forward to say they want to be a part of the downtown arena district?
That last one gives me serious concerns about what kind of tax lift a community revitazlization levy would be able to produce to pay off all the city tax dollars proposed with the current Katz Group plan.
Still with the downtown arena, how about that City communications plan?
Now, away from two of the most contentious projects in recent times… (more…)
Budgetary Budgets of the Alberta Budget
(I am an SEO king.)
Alright, Edmonton, you know the drill. When it’s provincial budget storytime we go all out. Prepare for budget!
So, the long-governing Conservative party tabled its latest budget Thursday (do you think they got bored of this annual stuff some time in the mid to late 80s?). It’s a deficit budget, which means the Alberta government is spending more than it’s taking in. But, thanks to the last few billion dollars of savings, there won’t be a debt for a couple more years. If there’s not another boom by 2013…well, let’s just not think about that.
Alberta remains a glorious land of low taxes. But your user fees are going up, up, up!
Healthcare still eats up the largest portion of the budget. Education is next, with the second-largest piece of the budget pie chart, and while there’s an increase to education spending, it’s mostly to cover teacher salaries. Post-secondary schools may also start feeling the pinch.
Some environmental initiatives appear to be going nowhere, or stalling. That may end up including money hoped to help Edmonton build its new LRT lines.
Oh, and the opposition parties aren’t too impressed with the budget. Like that’s even news.
Hey, lookie here, I found stories in Edmonton that were not Alberta Budget 2011 related. (more…)
No Longer Steady Headlines
In weather times like these you need to be prepared for anything. (Not pictured: My shotgun for shooting zombies.)
Edmonton, if you had only one story to talk about today what would it be?
Uh huh.
Oh, good choice.
Right.
OK.
Got it.
Alright, alright!
Happy birthday, Wayne Gretzky.
I hope you spend it solving crimes with Michael Jordan and Bo Jackson. Jennifer Heil would be a good addition to the ProStars.
Oh, you meant the Premier retiring. Yeah, that’s huge. (more…)
December 17 Headlines
It’s not your imagination (or your blind anger at how your tax dollars are spent) the City of Edmonton isn’t getting the help it needs, from private snow removal experts (or, Mr. Plows), indeed they are behind in clearing streets.
We were talking, not too long ago, about the cost of winter tires keeping people from putting them on their cars. Edmonton police officers feel that.
The City wants you to steer clear of “bandit cabs.” They’ve got reminders on what a legitimate, licensed, taxi should have.
*****
The Journal’s rolling out its year-end interview with Mayor Stephen Mandel in chunks. Yesterday we heard about how he thinks the arena decision will be made in the spring. Today he’s talking about Northlands and the Edmonton Economic Development Corporation becoming one. (Which might just take Northlands out of the arena business, if you ask me.) David Staples has some of his own thoughts on the talk with Mandel.
******
There’s a fight brewing between neighbours and the U of A, over its South Campus plans.
Outside of the city… (more…)
City Budget Headlines
It’s budget day in Edmonton!
OK, so technically yesterday would be budget day, since that’s when your city council passed the 2011 budget, but today is the day we all get to talk about it. And complain about our 3.85% tax increase.
Atcually, that’s fairly reasonable. Depending on who you talk to. (Councillors Kerry Diotte and Linda Sloan voted against the budget. That doesn’t mean they’re anarchists who don’t believe in planning or finances. No, Diotte wanted to cut more, while Sloan felt too much was cut. Which probably means the porridge budget is just right.) The final tax increase will be known once the Alberta government figures out the education portion of your tax bill in the spring.
The southeast LRT line seems to be moving ahead just fine. Though that west line is not quite ready yet. And by “not quite ready” I mean people be hatin’. More on that in January. More on the proposed lines, right now, from The Charrette.
Now that the budget is done, councillors can relax with a quiet presentation on arenas from Northlands.
…
Wooly Headlines
Hey there, Edmonton, how’s your feng shui today?
After spending countless nights camped out in the Wooly Bully's natural habitat, the Whyte Avenue bar scene, Sally finally snapped a photo of this amazing, yet elusive, creature.
City Council had a full day of LRT, Wednesday, with lots of people complaining about a lack of consultation, how they didn’t like the routes, and other stuff that is ruining their lives. Some people, YIMBYs if you will, wanted the LRT to get moving, right through their neighbourhood even. They are, as always it seems, in the minority.
Should a public-private partnership (P3) be considered for expansion of the LRT?
We got our quarterly update on the City Centre Airport, including some information on potential revenue and development profit, and environmental impact.
The City budget should be finalized today. Then we can all whine about our tax increase.
Away from the pyramid… (more…)
Business Closing Headlines
We'll miss all your sweet sales, and your lovely window displays.
Good day, Edmonton. I’ve got more business-closing news to report from Whyte Avenue today. (Recently it’s just been bars.)
After eight years on the avenue, most recently between Calgary Trail and Gateway Boulevard, Nokomis Clothing is closing. Make sure you send them out with a bang, Edmonton. Buy everything they have, buy all the local and Canadian-designed clothes. Do it, do it!
We’ll miss you, Nokomis.

We’re still waiting on city council to approve the 2011 budget. They didn’t finish the job yesterday, but it should be finalized Thursday. It was first predicted with a 5% tax increase, and that will likely be as high as it is. It might even come in at 4%. (Though some other fees, like water, are also being increased.)
Money is the bottom line of the budget. But sometimes you need to think beyond just the last few pennies and try to build an Edmonton that’s more than bricks and pavement.
Epcor’s not paying the City of Edmonton as much, in dividends, as was promised for the Goldbar waste water treatment plant. I’m sure that was something people warned against before it happened…
Transit fares are going up (of course). But the real problem I have with the increase is the amount. Fares will be $2.85. Who carries dimes?
This is a new take on the NIMBY argument (not in my backyard.); the LRT can’t run through Chinatown on its proposed course because of bad Feng Shui.
After the jump we’re going to talk about healthcare. Because we don’t do that enough. (more…)
Edmonton’s December 7 Headlines
Good morning, Edmonton!
For nearly two years, people have been fighting to keep the Scona Pool open. It’s now back in the regular budget (the last two years it was only in for a year of funding at a time). This is a testament to neighbours telling City Hall they want a resource, then showing what could be done with it. People brought in new management, booked that pool up, and started renovating. Good for everyone involved in the Scona Pool!
Tomorrow’s the big day for the LRT expansion. City Council should be giving all the new plans approval. Riverdalians were being reassured by city staff that the train won’t disrupt their neighbourhood. Neighbourhood renewal may be scaled back just a touch as the 2011 budget is finalized. We should now exactly how everything shakes out by the end of today.
Shifting away from City Hall… (more…)
December 3 Headlines
Like the Duchess needs Christmas to have a lovely window.
Welcome to the end of the week, Edmonton.
The fall sitting of the Alberta Legislature is done. We get four new ridings in Alberta.
Alberta Health Services is out with a document that tells everyone how they work with the provincial government. That’s nice. But I bet people would much rather you work on improving healthcare than drafting documents that tell us who you report to. Stuff like the $19-million for mental health programs in schools is a good example of what they could be up to all the time.
Premier Ed Stelmach’s approval rating has climbed (the story actually says “climbs”) to 21 percent. How awful a job do you have to be doing to be climbing to 21 percent?
The Environment Minister is going to tout the oilsands at a climate conference. Wouldn’t it be cool if the ENVIRONMENT minister touted green, efficient, clean energies?
Could the power-line expansion being proposed really just be for pumping power out of Alberta? That’s what some opponents of the new lines think.
Moving away from the Legislature…let’s see what’s up in Edmonton. (more…)
December 2 Edmonton Headlines
It's Christmas, motherf***ers!
Good morning, Edmonton.
We’ve got an interesting idea from a former Alberta education minister today. David King wants us to consider turfing the publicly-funded Catholic and Protestants school boards. That would save the provincial government a bunch of money, and people could still go to private versions of the schools if they wanted a religious education. I didn’t realize Alberta was one of only a few provinces to pay for separate systems.
I’m not saying members of the University of Alberta’s Students’ Union don’t deserve raises, but I’m just going to put that story in the same sentence as one about more students using the food bank. And that’s all going to sit nice and close to that story about saving money by losing the separate school boards.
Still at the U of A, education grads are finding fewer jobs with the Edmonton Public School Board. (It might be all those schools they’ve closed in previous years.)
Speaking of schools, and trying to stretch those education dollars, the Edmonton Public School Board voted to keep all schools open for another two years, which could make them another enemy of the provincial Tory government. And you thought only healthcare was getting interesting.
On healthcare…the Premier says you will be consulted before anything big changes with how you get medical care. This comes as the Alberta Liberals released a document that talked about private health options. And Dr. Raj Sherman is saying his (now, sort of) former Tory colleagues are considering moves to private healthcare.
The NDP has ideas for healthcare too! Oh, and Mrs. Duckett says firing her husband was a bad move. (That would be way more interesting if she was saying it was the best move possible.)
Now, let’s talk about those Edmonton Oilers… (more…)
Open House week 2010
If you like giving the City of Edmonton your two cents, you’re looking at a good week.
As we mentioned last week, there are two more downtown arena information sessions this week. Tonight and Wednesday at MacEwan’s downtown campus (5pm-8:30). There are discussion groups in the latter half of both evenings (7pm-8:30).
A little taste of what The Quarters (east Jasper) could look like.
Also tonight, there’s an open house for the Boyle Renaissance and Quarters projects (6-8pm). Those projects are downtown too. (Gee, you’d think the city was trying to rejuvenate downtown or something.)
Interesting to note, the Quarters regularly comes up in criticism of the downtown arena. It’s thought the two large projects can’t move ahead at the same time. Maybe you’ll have some input on that this week.
And that’s not all!
There’s also an open house Thursday evening, at the TransAlta Arts Barns (just off Whyte Avenue) to talk about the Walterdale Bridge and west Rossdale (4pm-8:30). The bridge is going to be replaced, parts of Rossdale could be redeveloped, and Thursday is a good chance for you to learn about what may take place, and offer your opinions.
It’s like I, and Tony Danza, always say, you’re the boss.
Arena open house(s)
Are you ready to get your downtown arena on?
There are four open houses about the downtown arena project in the next eight days.
The first one is tonight, at MacEwan University. The next one is tomorrow night at the Santa Maria Goretti Community Centre. Then it’s back to MacEwan for two more open houses next week (Monday and Wednesday).
The open houses will have two parts. They begin with an information session, running 5-7pm, and then have discussion groups, 7-8:30.
Whether you make it out to one of the open houses or not you should fill out an online survey about the downtown arena. It’s a little leading (a push poll of sorts), but you could always fill in those “further input” sections to talk about issues it doesn’t address (like a model funded entirely by private business).
Of Edmonton Events
We have come upon our first weekend in the post-2010 election era. I expect candidates and councillors to be sleeping in the next couple of days.
There are a number of things happening if you’re not napping.
On your way home tonight you could stop in at The ARTery and raise money for HIV Edmonton while enjoying the end of the work week. Friday night, Dan Hill plays the Shaw Conference Centre for a Canadian Diabetes Association fundraiser. Justin Rutledge is at the Haven Social Club. Library Voices swing into the Avenue Theatre.
Still Friday, there’s a Bicycle-powered party at the U of A.
Saturday night, Falklands returns home from a cross-country tour to play Teddy’s. Yes, Teddy’s. This should be a good one.
M.A.D.E. In Edmonton closes out “Edmonton Design Exposed” with a party at Bohemia. It’s a little spot that’s out of the way but worth trekking to.
We are starting to see all of the Hallowe’en movies now. Watching movies is still a viable pastime.
The Oil Kings, Eskimos, and Oilers are all home this weekend. There’s roller derby at the Edmonton Sportsdome (and it’s even got a nice Hallowe’en theme to it, with Regina’s Pile O’ Bones in town).
The City of Edmonton continues its series of Hallowe’en events with Pumpkins & Pirates at the Muttart Conservatory.
By the way, it’s Friday, which means it’s Free Cookie Friday over at Luzarra. Head down to Whyte Avenue for a coffee and mention Luzarra’s free cookie tweeting. Then you’ll get a free cookie.
And, as always, the geniuses at ShareEdmonton.ca and YEGLive.ca helped me fill out your social calendars. Those guys are awesome.
This is also happening all weekend long. Pure Spec is at the Radisson south.
The results are in: web-based show in top 3
Edmonton — Monday, October 18 Edmontonians chose their new city council and school boards. Monday night they chose a new way to watch election results.
With only CTV and Shaw dedicating primetime television hours to Edmonton’s 2010 election, Edmontonians tuned into “the edmontonian celebrates democracy.” A production of theedmontonian.com, the web-based show featured a mix of election results and analysis with the insight and comedic talents of many of the city’s brightest online, and independent journalists.
“We couldn’t be more excited about the show,” said Jeff Samsonow, Editor-in-Chief of the edmontonian.
“The show had been planned for months, but we had no idea Global, CBC, CityTV, and Access would stick with their regular programming on the city’s biggest local news night.”
“We are proud to have been there on election night. Without any dancing celebrities,” Samsonow continued, in an obvious reference to CTV’s one-hour show which made way for the popular “Dancing with the Stars.”
In the 8-9pm hour “the edmontonian celebrates democracy” was the city’s third highest-rated election show. 9-10 it was the second most popular, as CTV went back to regular programming.
“This was a big day for Edmonton,” said show producer Sally Poulsen. “This election showed Edmonton was ready to keep building LRT, redevelop the City Centre Airport, and become a city that can embrace its urban, creative side.”
“Since 100 Edmontonians chose our show over Hollywood programming we have another reason to celebrate October 18, “Poulsen continued.
Those behind “the edmontonian celebrates democracy” also thanked the City of Edmonton for providing polling data as it became available. ShareEdmonton.ca put the data into easy-to-understand results and was the key to ongoing updates during the show.
“Because the results were available to all, people don’t just need us to tell them who’s winning. Anyone can read you stats all night. We wanted to provide election and political information with large doses of humour,” said the Editor-in-Chief.
The good vibes have the crew behind the online show in a great mood the day after but Samsonow is left wondering what it will lead to.
“Do you think we can borrow one of those local television frequencies if Edmonton stations aren’t using them for Edmonton programming?”
