A protest supporting the fight against TC Energy’s Coastal Gaslink pipeline on Wet’suwet’en land is marching along Jasper Ave right now from Beaver Hills House Park. #yeg @edmontonjournal
A few of the signs #yeg

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.

I analyzed all the public donor lists & this is what I found. #yeg #yegcc edmontonjournal.com/news/local-new…
Development executives, donating as individuals, gave the most to:

- Tim Cartmell ($22,450)
- Andrew Knack ($14,400)
- Ashley Salvador ($14,039)
- Anne Stevenson ($6,610)

Sarah Hamilton, Aaron Paquette, Jennifer Rice & Karen Principe haven’t shared their lists. #yeg #yegcc
Experts I spoke to say developers have a vested interest in the outcome of Edmonton’s elections.

“You do not contribute to every mayoral candidate at the maximum if you don’t expect to be considered in discussions” - Judith Garber, U of A

Premier Jason Kenney is here at the federal building to give an update on Covid today. I’m told Hinshaw came by earlier but she’s not in the room now. #abhealth #covid19ab #ableg #yeg Image
Kenney says it doesn’t look like we had a Thanksgiving spike. He’s talking a bit about vaccines — we’re at 87.2% of first doses and 80.6% who had both.
He says while it’s important for everyone to get the jab some more vulnerable groups need them more so that’s why they went first and got booster shots.

Heard about a young person who got covid but seems his family are conspiracy theorists. Mum treated him at home with ivermectin, vitamins & home remedies but symptoms wouldn’t let up. She brought him to hospital & now he’s in ICU. Misinformation is killing people 😢
Really sad to see lives threatened because of grifters peddling (and sometimes profiting from) false info on social media.

Easy to be misled when the people you trust are promoting bad info, and telling you not to trust legit sources. I get that.

This is all really sad.
If you've had a change of heart after seeing covid hurting yourself or someone you love, please get in touch. I'd like to hear your story. My DMs are open.

Word is Tim Uppal is about to arrive and speak to his team. Excitement building here. #elxn44 #cdnpoli #yeg
They’ve brought in a truck and Conservative Tim Uppal going to be standing in the back of the truck to give a speech to supporters about his win in Edmonton Mill Woods shortly. #yeg #elxn44 #cdnpoli Image
The crowd has more than doubled at this point — I count more than 100 people here now.
