  Oscar Klefbom’s absence from the line-up officially enters its second month tonight when his Edmonton Oilers host the Buffalo Sabres. To say things have not been going well in his absence would be an understatement.
  The Oilers were on a hot roll at the time their #1 defender went down in the second period of that game in Denver, and would hang on to win their fourth game in a row and their seventh of eight. Since then? Never more than one in a row. Overall, a

• Elise Stolte: Pushing beyond an ugly history. There is now no 'single-family' zone in Edmonton

  14-01-2019 11:00 via edmontonjournal.com
  Edmonton made a historic move on housing the other day when it allowed duplexes to be built anywhere in the last remaining neighbourhoods.
  The change effectively eliminates single-family only zoning. But it slipped quietly under the radar.
  Meanwhile, in Minneapolis, council voted for pretty much the same thing, allowing up to a triplex on low-density lots across the city. But it blew up because of national coverage. It was a huge debate, supported by a “Neighbours for more neighbours&

  14-01-2019 01:51 via edmontonjournal.com
  Half the calls fire rescue crews respond to are medically-related, a figure poised to hit 70 per cent within the next few years, said Edmonton’s fire chief.

  Last year, 68 per cent of calls attended by fire rescue crews across the city were medical and that number is expec
