Keith Gerein: Smith's riffs to Alberta municipal leaders go off the rails (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week’s Alberta Municipalities conference in Edmonton had its share of strange and intriguing moments, at least a few of which came from the hour that Premier Danielle Smith was in the room. Smith’s speech to the ballroom of municipal leaders was generally fine. There were a few rounds of applause on the economy and gas tax relief, though she also seemed more uncomfortable at the podium than she usually does. But the moments that really had the crowd murmuring occurred in the followup Q and
Keith Gerein: A UCP government posturing on public safety shouldn't be dumping inmates onto Chinatown streets (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When municipal leaders complain, as they often have over the years, about downloading from higher orders of government, it is not usually meant in an overtly literal way. The term is used in a more general way to describe any situation — either intentional or due to neglect — in which responsibility for certain services, people or infrastructure is shifted onto the backs of municipalities, usually at civic taxpayer expense. However, video taken from Edmonton’s Chinatown in recent weeks has revea
Keith Gerein: Pro-Canada voters need to run up the score in Alberta's secession referendum (opens the original)
Read excerpt
These are now the real adversaries for the federalist side in Alberta’s Oct. 19 vote on a secession referendum. With poll after poll continuing to show highly similar results of 25 to 30 per cent support for separation, this feels like it is no longer a struggle for hearts and minds (if it ever was) and is now simply a ground battle to get out the vote. And unfortunately, whether through incompetence or deliberate disruption, the UCP government is giving Albertans plenty of potential excuses to
Keith Gerein: How quickly is Edmonton losing its small-city vibe? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Since I refuse to travel to the United States these days, I decided to spend some of my vacation time this summer in the big muggy metropolises of Eastern Canada. Toronto and Montreal have both been semi-regular destinations in the past — I even lived in Toronto for a couple of years — but this particular trip proved to be an interesting exercise in comparative urban studies. Those two Eastern hubs are fun places to visit. There are crowds and energy, culture and history, spectacle and nightlife
Keith Gerein: Edmontonians must stop asking the UCP government to undermine city autonomy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is a term in medicine called iatrogenesis, which occurs when a surgery, prescription or other treatment that is intended to help a patient ends up doing the opposite. More colloquially described, it is when the cure is worse than the disease. I raise the term because, in many ways, it accurately characterizes the efforts of some Edmontonians to try to persuade the Alberta government to override municipal decision making. Yes, truth be told, this UCP regime hasn’t really needed much encoura
