NEWS: Developers donated at least $58,499 to Edmonton’s incoming city councillors ahead of the election. Three councillors were also part of an infill development lobbyist group.

A Pronunciation Guide for Edmonton’s Ward Names
A Thread
I would like to acknowledge that the wards are part of Treaty 6 Territory, a traditional meeting ground for many Indigenous communities, including the Cree, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Blackfoot and the Métis Peoples.

This guide is merely to help pronounce the Indigenous words. It is intended to educate respectfully, not teach the language. Please, at the very least, find out what the names mean. The first link posted includes short video clips on each ward. Watch them. Please.
Let’s start with the name for all of it. Edmonton is known as Amiskwaciwâskahikan in Cree (Nehiyawewin).

"The first debate of Edmonton’s mayoral election was a spirited affair, featuring a current of combativeness, a no-show candidate and plenty of ideas on how to invigorate the city’s beleaguered economy. "
& it was a secret.

"To their credit, the company did eventually provide Postmedia a link to a video recording of the debate...."
I wonder if the link to the video will be made available to the general public?

Mike Nickel's campaign paid for a billboard attacking Aaron Paquette and Andrew Knack for not being anti-maskers.

Looks like @CrystalGlassLTD donated $5000 to Mike Nickel's election campaign.

🧵 If Kenney can put forward a Referendum on equalization at #ableg, #epsb can request referendum on:
1) education equalization (the weighted moving average) &
2) the draft K-6 curriculum.
Edmonton City Council can add the questions to #yegvote. I'll propose this tomorrow.

We’re not asking for a special deal, just a fair deal. Jason Kenney's equalization program is not fair for Children.
Despite their promise to maintain or increase funding for education, they have instead introduced a new formula that punishes growing Edmonton Schools.

We expect 2700 new students next year without one additional dollar to educate them.
School boards across Alberta have refused to pilot the draft K-6 curriculum, but the Minister remains intent on implementation.
Edmontonians will finally have the opportunity to be heard.

As an #EPSB Trustee and a #yegvote #yegcc candidate, I can't convey how incredibly frustrating this stupid, pointless, powerless referendum on equalization question is: a pointless distraction from Kenney's failures on jobs, economy, pipelines.
#EPSB and #CBE students receive fewer dollars per capita than any other school board in Alberta because of the failed #WMA brought in by the UCP.
Where's the fair deal for Calgary and Edmonton children?

Similarly, Edmonton and Calgary pay more in taxes, bear many more of the costs and yet receive fewer dollars in return.
Where's the fair deal for Calgary and Edmonton taxpayers?

Bill 29 (Local Authorities Election Amendment Act) are being debated right now. The bill is a huge step backwards and will only advantage incumbents and those that who are connected to wealthy donors. It also reduces transparency. #ableg #abpoli #yegcc #yyccc #yegvote
