`Ward #papastew Coun. @michaeljanz.bsky.social said Wednesday it’s a confusing system and allows the provincial government to raise taxes without taking the blame.'

`“When Edmontonians open up their tax bill and they see a big jump, they need to understand that’s not going to snow removal, that’s not going to potholes, that’s not going to police, that’s not going to fire, that’s going to Premier Smith."'

Every morning this week has started with a "pinch me" moment as I've tapped my (temporary) badge and walked out onto the second floor of City Hall from the elevator.

I'm thrilled - and humbled - to be able to support my Councillor and my community in this new capacity.

I've struggled with "impostor syndrome" this week, but I'm sure that will pass.

It's weird to think that the hashtag #yegcc directly includes me now.

The City of Edmonton has declared today, March 21, as Save Soil Day. I was at City Hall for the presentation of the official proclamation, and to speak to the gathered group about our recent Senate report on soil health. Tomorrow, the Save Soil group hosts a free double-bill at Campus Saint-Jean theatre: first, the documentary film Common Ground, followed by a one-woman show by Dale Hamilton called She Won’t Come in From the Fields. #yeg #yegcc #Edmonton #SenateofCanada #ualberta #SoilHealth

It has been quite clear - for a long time - that Edmonton Police Commission is *not* an oversight body to the EPS, but has been captured (as so many oversight and regulatory bodies in Alberta are) and functions as a shield and shill for the police.

Meanwhile both EPS *and* EPC have been combative and obstructive with Council when they have tried to step up to the plate and fill the accountability void.

Every time the Edmonton city budget needs to be adjusted yet again because of new costs related to salary increases & backpay, remember: It was a choice to continue to avoid settling contracts with municipal unions for years, while inflation was very high.

After arbitration, Edmonton firefighters now have a contract: for the years 2019-2023. (And the 10.3% net increase in pay is still way less than the 5-year 18% increase in Canada's consumer price index.)

CBCEdmonton firefighters awarded retroactive 5-year deal with the city after arbitration | CBC NewsFirefighters in Edmonton have been awarded a retroactive deal with the city after five years without a contract. The contract that was just awarded expired at the end of 2023, so firefighters and the city are expected to begin bargaining again soon.

I agree with this. The independent board put forward recommendations and it would be inappropriate for the Mayor to adjust their salary either up or down against the board's recommendations. It sets a precedent.

I do appreciate this motion as it's symbolic, however.
