Rage Against the Municipal

A newsletter focused on the municipal, but through a provincial lens.

We warned you about this. Our readers definitely *hate* the idea of political parties at the municipal level.

This is a bad idea

We tried to warn you.

Where are we going? Nowhere. We’re taking a well-earned break.

Ariella Kimmel is an incredible and courageous women. Premier Kenney-you knew! Step down! Sean Chu-you were sexually inappropriate with a minor!! Step down! Enough is enough. To say I have lost confidence is an understatement.

@estolte Hope you've listened to The Daily episode on shipping backlogs. Tells the tale well. And it's unsettling when you think about food.

In 2017, Coun. Sean Chu raised roughly a quarter million in his successful campaign for council. Here’s the financial disclosure. If you’re on here and feel unhappy about it in 2021, our DMs are open.

This is doing the rounds on Facebook in Edmonton.

BREAKING NEWS: The numbers are in and today I officially surpassed Sean Chu... in Twitter followers.

One small victory. One big one still to go. 😊

[Rage Against the Municipal @RageMunicipal]

From today's provincial government presser, we learned that:

* city politics are not ideological but practical
* there've been no changes to funding to municipalities

🤔

[Rage Against the Municipal @RageMunicipal]

We will offer a viewpoint on the municipal elections in the coming days. We can find ourselves talking only Edmonton and Calgary. What is most interesting from yesterday is what happened in Alberta. Lots of change.

[Rage Against the Municipal @RageMunicipal]

@BairdKelti Ah best of luck out there!

If these numbers hold, 6/15 Calgary city council members will be women (up from 3/15). #yycvote
