Did you know Edmonton has a 228th street? More sprawl means more tax increases, service cuts, or both. Learn more at www.michaeljanz.ca

#StarExclusive: Tesla used an automated system to make a run on the bank of Canada’s dwindling EV subsidies, outmanoeuvring Canadian dealerships that filed claims manually and were left short millions of dollars, the Star has learned.

Why wait? Start now. Tim and his double-dippers could return the big corporate donations and run as independents. They have until Monday. But they don’t serve the many, just the big money so they won’t. www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

A local landowner sparred with Marciano over not receiving the company’s lease payments on her land. Marciano said she needs to apply for reimbursement from the government. “It’s still our tax dollars,” she said. “That’s not good enough.” thenarwhal.ca/alberta-oil-...

Ashborne used to be a non-profit seniors centre. Now, it's "Alliance", a for-profit REIT. And look whose massive signs showed up out front. This is exactly what Tim and his big donors that have contributed hundreds of thousands to his campaign want everywhere.

Imagine if we taxed the rich appropriately?? The report also notes increases in childhood poverty levels, with about 1.4 million Canadian children experiencing poverty by the end of 2024 — the highest level the country has seen since 2017.

These people are absolutely obsessed with children's genitals.

“Areas with high costs have high homelessness rates, and areas with low housing costs have low homelessness rates. When rents rise quickly, homelessness does, too. When rent growth is contained, homelessness drops. Increasing the housing supply helps…” www.pew.org/en/research-...

Very pleased to see city council approve this pilot project on dealing with noisy vehicles. Thanks to @michaeljanz.bsky.social for listening to his constituents and taking the lead on this issue.

Are you sure you’re listening? 🤨 Danielle Smith’s waste-of-taxpayer-money “Alberta Next” panels turned rowdy in Edmonton. It’s clear they’re not interested in hearing from Albertans. The UCP just wants to continue to push their costly, destabilizing ideas on Alberta.

Fresh research confirming chain-of-address filtering is as powerful in Class A residential as the "flight-to-quality" Class A office phenomenon 👇 New housing supply lowers rents the most in *Class C old buildings*, not the rents in other new Class A buildings! x.com/PewStates/st...

‘Talk about affordability’: Warren boosts Mamdani as model for Democratic victory.

Canada has taken a powerful first step in addressing the deliberate mass starvation in Gaza. I encourage the government to accelerate to full out air drops with Canadian forces. Canada was on the front line in the Rwanda genocide. Our soldiers were there in Yugoslavia. We need to be there for Gaza.

"Aid experts have said that airdrops are vastly less effective than truck convoys. Some of the pallets dropped by air earlier this week have fallen into the sea, and at least one has struck and killed Palestinians on the ground." #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

“While Mayor, I was often asked ‘how have you been able to afford bike-lanes in #Copenhagen?’ I’d reply, ‘how have you been able to NOT afford it? 25 years ago we were a few days away from going bankrupt. So the city invested in the cheapest infrastructure… bicycling.’” — @mortenkabell.bsky.social

Edm Chamber president Doug Griffiths is the first speaker and he is breathing fire at council. Doesn't mention Knack by name but is incensed at "demonization" of OEG by characterizing deal as giving money to a billionaire. #yeg

Reminder: Premier Smith is raising Edmonton Education property taxes another $50 million per year. Do you want our money to offset handouts for private businesses? www.michaeljanz.ca/educationpro...

With City Council holding a public hearing this Thursday on extending the Capital City Downtown CRL and providing more public money to the Katz Group, here's a op-ed I wrote with Dr. Jay Scherer on why council needs to say no, and why Edmontontians need to back them.

Pitching to a crowd of about 150 at his campaign launch on Friday, Edmonton city councillor Michael Janz vowed to fight back against a UCP takeover of city council—and to stand on matters of principle even when they don't poll well.

Honoured to introduce my current and future councillor for ward Papastew @michaeljanz.bsky.social at his election launch party. A full house is a good start to a busy campaign. Keep democracy alive in #yeg. Support independent candidates like Janz! #yegcc www.michaeljanz.ca

Why do my taxes have to go to a billionaire who displaced unhoused, people, reneged on his promise to donate to services? Let’s put this on the ballot and find out how my fellow Edmonton feel. #yegcc #yeg #oilers

edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n... Register to speak for next Thursday.

City council can put ballot questions forward during the next municipal election. I think we should give this serious thought and let all taxpayers and voters have a say on providing the oilers owners $88.5m for their business. www.michaeljanz.ca/referendum2025
