The advanced votes popped in last, and a UCP lead of a couple hundred votes disappeared just like that.

Can't imagine the week Ed Sheeran is having. His world tour is imploding and he's just now learned there is a genocide in Palestine.

Buckle up, Edmonton! #yegwx #yegstorm

Edmonton is underneath all those lightning strikes tonight.

@megmac@social.treehouse.systems I didn't either! I thought it would maybe end up recountable, but what a wild finish as the very last update to vote counts.

This DIY air purifier workshop (today, sold out) is exactly the kind of programming we need at the EPL. Hopefully they do more, especially before we get hit with the worst of the summer smoke. https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/diy-air-purifier-workshop-tickets-1991501621961

Hey Edmonton pals, this smoke is awful for our health. You can pick up free N95 masks at libraries, rec centres, green shacks and pools. If you need a mask, find the closest spot at the City of Edmonton website: https://www.edmonton.ca/programs_services/emergency_preparedness/extreme-weather-summer

Infill housing is boosting municipal tax revenue. It's giving people more places to live and refilling older neighbourhoods. Oh, and mature home prices are still rising. So, yes, there is longterm benefit to building more housing inside our city. https://www.jacobdawang.com/blog/2026/property-tax-uplift/

There are 19 (!) new restaurants and places to grab coffee, desserts and more. In alpha order: The Bob Story Korean Kitchen, Brunch Glory, Cheese Louise, Cook County Steakhouse (for sloppy steaks?!), da Cecot, Fresh Slice, Live Bowl'd, and Vi Nam.

Here it comes again.⚡ #yegwx

We have angered the gods.

@AmeliasBrain@mstdn.ca He's been spending time just off camera (on some wooden rungs) but may still be there. Folks are on site watching, so the chat will say if he finally flies. He's being a bit reluctant so far, even as his parents try to get him to leave.

@Pentapod@mstdn.ca Oh no! 🥵 I really don't know if I could live without ac now that we've entered our heat dome era. Glad you were able to get it fixed quickly, and keep that senior kitty cool.

This summer has it out for Edmonton.

@WanderingHuman@cosocial.ca It is very much BONKERS in a summer of already bonkers storms.

@AmeliasBrain@mstdn.ca And I think NW of Edmonton looked to get even more of it!

Reminder: wildfire season is not done yet. Keep those masks on and air purifiers running. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/smoke-forecast-alberta-summer-2026-9.7256141

We can tax the rich and bring in billions of dollars or we can keep yacht and luxury car companies happy. But we can't do both. https://www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/business/luxury-tax-on-planes-cars-yielded-over-900m-now-it-s-been-scaled-back/article_82c62c3b-4561-581c-ba15-5538ae83b12a.html

@Chigaze@cosocial.ca yikes! Some of the thunder crashes have definitely been right after the lightning, which is worrying.

@anyGould@kind.social oh my! Thank you for your service, and be safe out there.

No way, it's not climate change, we've always had biblical flooding in Edmonton. Nothing a new oil pipeline or two won't fix. 📸 GibbyDavis on IG

@robyn@yeg.bike Hopefully you remain on the shore tonight.

We all need masks during wildfires. 😮‍💨 Check your municipal government's website for mask, clean air, water and cooling options this summer (if they have any). Also find and support your local mask blocs! 😷✌🏻

The lack of infill housing in suburb cities (aka exburbs) was only a matter of time, not a deliberate decision. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/st-albert-infill-zoning-changes-9.7345474

@AnastasiaE@mstdn.ca This is good to hear! I love the weird name of the place, but haven't yet tried it.

The slight uptick in wildfire mask-wearing has me thinking about that Bane speech about adopting the darkness vs. born in the shadows. Public health should be protecting everyone all of the time. And it would also be nice if leaders weren't grifters or science-deniers.

This falcon was one of four born to new parents at the U of A site on June 11. His siblings were moved earlier to a remote site for their release.

This is truly the Dessert District™️ so I'm not surprised to see new cafes and sweet treats. All of these: Big Bear Matcha, Chayan, El Cafesito, Gathr Cafe & Lounge, Heavenly Desserts, hey! I am Yogost, King of Tarts, New Amsterdam Cafe, Nero Cafe, Snowbear Bakery, White Rabbit Ice Cream (pop-up).

This is in Canada, so I know our food safety rules and inspections are better than the U.S. but I still just can't see myself buying anything Taylor Farms again.

@NMBA@mstdn.ca We noticed it getting dark, and then so much lightning. And someone else I know posted a funnel cloud from earlier today. Going to be a hell of a night!

@seldo@alpaca.gold That would be a Nobel level of research.
