With Alberta’s school closed to students for a teacher strike, support workers have started receiving layoff notices, according to their union. But as Sean Amato reports, that may be avoided as bargaining is set to resume next week. #ableg #cdnpoli edmonton.citynews.ca/video/2025/10/…

The leaders of Canada and the United States discussed a new pipeline out of Alberta at the White House Tuesday, according to the CBC. As Sean Amato reports, there is now speculation it may be related to an ongoing fight between premiers. #ableg #cdnpoli edmonton.citynews.ca/video/2025/10/…

Alberta's premier, from the US-Canada Summit in Toronto, is happy to see reporting that Carney and Trump talked about rebooting Keystone XL. But Smith says she still wants an Alberta to BC pipeline because it will get "maximum volume" to "maximum number of new markets." #ableg


Alberta’s premier was in Ottawa Tuesday, trying to sell new pipelines to the prime minister and other easterners. But as Sean Amato reports, Danielle Smith’s pitch is facing the most vocal opposition from out west. #ableg #cdnpoli edmonton.citynews.ca/video/2025/10/…

Looks like Albertans may have a 2nd referendum question on ballots next year. That being: "Should the Government of Alberta end its current practice of allocating public funds to accredited independent (private) schools?" Thoughts?! #ableg #cdnpoli

“UnCanadian, unconstitutional” is how Alberta’s premier describes BC Premier David Eby’s opposition to a new oil pipeline to the coast. Danielle Smith is taking questions on Parliament Hill. Met with the PM. No big update provided yet, still selling project. #ableg #cdnpoli

Alberta teachers made good Monday on a threat to strike, forcing the closure of 2,500 schools. As Sean Amato reports, the premier says the two sides are close, but the teachers are demanding “generational” changes. #ableg #cdnpoli edmonton.citynews.ca/video/2025/10/…

The ATA confirms that teachers are being locked out by the province, but says this was expected. Labour experts would know better, but I believe this is a pretty common move in these situations.

... and then they lock teachers out?

Alberta premier, on strike, from Montreal: “The teachers set this arbitrary deadline of Oct 6, and we’ve asked them to call off the strike and go back to negotiating. We don’t think we are that far apart, we think our wage offer is very fair.” ATA not going back. #ableg

A petition effort to force a vote on keeping Alberta in Canada is on track to hit their goal of 300,000 signatures. As Sean Amato reports, it comes the same week the premier challenged the viability of the country. #ableg #cdnpoli edmonton.citynews.ca/video/2025/10/…

The pro-Canada Forever Canadian petition folks are celebrating hitting 230,00 signatures. They are confident they’ll surpass the 300,000 by the Oct. 28 deadline. #ableg #cdnpoli

It’s a 2-way race for Edmonton mayor, according to a new poll from Abacus Data. Interesting almost half say the city is “on the wrong track,” yet the 2 guys on council for years are leading. #yeg #yegcc
