• Mobile home community calls for help from Alberta election candidates

  06-04-2019 23:31 via edmontonjournal.com
  Advocates for mobile home residents hope their call for stronger tenant rights will be heard by parties vying for power in the upcoming provincial election.
  Albertans who own their mobile home but rent the property it sits on don’t have accessible recourse for disputes with the land owner, and that’s meant dead ends and frustrations over flooding, sewage back-ups, road conditions and enforcement, according to Crystal Chalmers, president of the Twin Parks Community League, which repre

• Alberta man caught in $18,000 scam after CRA breach

  06-04-2019 23:12 via edmontonjournal.com
  A Red Deer man is warning others to be vigilant after he was nearly scammed out of a $18,000 tax return.
  Mike Godwin, a firefighter in Red Deer, said his accountants alerted him last week that someone was able to get his SIN, create a fake tax profile and gain access to his CRA online profile.
  “The CRA sent them a PIN number to access my profile and then with information from my 2017 tax return, they answered the questions and were granted my profile,” said Godwin

• What are Calgary Flames doing right that Edmonton Oilers are not? Plenty

  06-04-2019 21:48 via edmontonjournal.com
  Game Day 82: Oilers at Flames
  Another disastrous season winds down for Edmonton Oilers tonight under very trying circumstances. The Oilers, now locked into 14th place in the 15-team Western Conference, will visit Calgary, where the high-flying Flames are home and cooled out as the (regular-season) Conference champs, 8 points clear of the pack and a stunning 30 ahead of their provincial rivals.
  It wasn’t ever thus. A half-decade ago the Flames were down in the weeds with the Oilers, with th

  Glenridding Ravine North meet Glenridding Ravine South.
  North, the relatively new kid on the block joins its slightly older sibling — South — with this Saturday’s grand opening of its show home parade.
  These two residential developments, located in southwest Edmonton, just south of the Anthony Henday and accessed via Rabbit Hill Road, are in essence just different parts of one overall neighbourhood: Glenridding Ravine.
  With its adjacent Glenridding in Windermere project now alm

• Dining Out: Continental Treat delivers a mix of traditional, gluten-free fare on Whyte

  06-04-2019 18:20 via edmontonjournal.com
  Continental Treat has been a fixture on Whyte Avenue for more than 35 years, an old-world stalwart in a neighbourhood filled with young and modern upstarts.
  From its dark wood paneling and burgundy carpet to its servers dressed in white shirts, black vests and bow ties, this is a restaurant that one imagines has changed little over the years because, well, why mess with success?
  In all the time I’ve lived in Edmonton I had never eaten at Continental Treat until last week, yet I’ve wa

• Saturday's letters: Wilson-Raybould a loose cannon

  06-04-2019 14:00 via edmontonjournal.com
  How could Jody Wilson-Raybould have even imagined that she could knife her colleagues in the back and then look them in the eye as if nothing had happened.
  She could have made her concerns known directly to caucus as would be normal. Instead, it is apparent from her own testimony she was plotting against her Liberal colleagues even before she was removed as justice minister when she started taping conversations without informing the other party that this was being done.
  She likely leaked her sto

• Opinion: Missing playoffs hurts for McDavid and Oiler fans — because they care

  06-04-2019 14:00 via edmontonjournal.com
  The 2018-19 Oilers season is over. For most fans, it’s another painful year. A real dumpster fire, some say. Ouch! That’s harsh, especially considering the Oilers played meaningful games until the end.
  In addition to nearly making the playoffs, a handful of Oilers are having career-best years. It’s no mystery, however, why they missed the playoffs again: shoddy defence. We saw glimpses of defensive prowess this year. For example, immediately after Oscar Klefbom and Kris Russell

• Alberta legislature's Class of 2015: Where are they now that the next campaign is under way

  06-04-2019 11:00 via edmontonjournal.com
  The last time Alberta went to the polls for a provincial election in 2015, voters sent so many new MLAs to the legislature that one of the biggest questions the next morning was: “Who the heck is that?” 
  That electoral Class of 2015 threw dozens of MLAs with no political experience into the legislature, many on the governing side with an unprecedented NDP majority that steamrolled the Progressive Conservatives and saw the Wildrose hold on to official opposition status.

• Keith Gerein: Fiscal fortitude absent from Alberta election as leaders again shirk sales tax debate

  06-04-2019 03:53 via edmontonjournal.com
  The process usually goes something like this.
  Every few years, the Alberta government appoints a panel of well respected economists, business leaders, political minds and others to give recommendations on how to improve the economy and stabilize the province’s volatile balance sheet.
  Invariably, the group makes a suggestion that Alberta would be best served by having a provincial sales tax like almost every other jurisdiction in North America.
  The experts are thanked for their time, and se

• Watch: Notley campaigning the day after the leader's debate

  06-04-2019 03:20 via edmontonjournal.com
  NDP leader Rachel Notley was not holding back during a rally near Ardrossan as she continued to slam UCP leader Jason Kenney the day after the provincial leaders debate.
  Notley says while she acknowledges that people are anxious about the future, “Mr. Kenney’s style of politics is to take advantage of those worries and try to turn them into anger.” She believes that this is not the kind of leadership that Alberta needs right now.

• 'It's high time': Industry-led petition calls for cannabis convictions to be expunged

  A cross-country tour to fight for the rights of more than 500,000 Canadians with a criminal cannabis conviction is making a pitstop in Edmonton.
  The PARDON truck, a campaign created by B.C.-based cannabis producer DOJA and Cannabis Amnesty, is visiting five major cities in hopes of garnering 10,000 signatures in support of having minor cannabis records expunged.

• The debate's over. What will Alberta's political leaders do next?

  06-04-2019 01:38 via edmontonjournal.com
  As voters mull over Thursday night’s leaders debate, they can expect parties to start massaging their messages as we head into the final 10 days of the election campaign.
  One man who’s been there, done that, is Vitor Marciano, who was a deputy campaign manager for the now-defunct Wildrose Party in the 2015 election.
  Unlike that election, he doesn’t think Thursday’s debate will prove a pivotal moment in the campaign.
  Now that it’s over, he said, it’s about doin
