Does this sound bonkers, or is it just math?
Better services, lower taxes, and the actual MECHANICS of how to do it? Whaaaat?
It’s true. Math is cool, actually.

Here’s what you need to know when you hear a Councillor say they voted against the city budget:
1. If the budget vote fails, it reverts to the ADMINSTRATION proposed amount. Which is usually HIGHER.
2. Did they do the work of COLLABORATING and LEADING to get a different result? Or was it for show?

While not a City of Edmonton initiative, Nature Alberta put the question to Edmontonians on what bird should represent their City. 40,000 people voted and at the end, the black-billed magpie soared above the competition to take its perch as the Bird of Edmonton.

Honoured to attend the Fort Road time capsule opening, celebrating 115 years of this historic community and 100 years since the founding of Belvedere. Special thanks to Steven Elenaik and the Shaw family for organizing such a wonderful celebration.

The fun thing about Edmonton is that not only are we the best big city in the country for granting development approvals, but everyone will still complain about it. Haha.
The good thing is that we can still work on being best in the world, I guess.
