Bent Arrow Traditional Healing Society will shut down two programs and pause upcoming community events in December because of funding cuts.

Premier Danielle Smith said federal interference prompted Alberta to roll back some Edmonton housing rules.

Edmonton has been given three months to reverse the 2024 changes.

Two editions a day, 7:30am and 8pm Edmonton time. The same brief you are reading: council and committee decisions, permits and licences, police and emergency releases, courts, weather and sport — every claim checked against its source, and anything we could not verify sent as a headline and a link.
Alberta mode is a guy from Edmonton commenting on the news, and the guy is a machine. One or two lines an item — what somebody who has lived here his whole life would say reading it out to his mates.
It is not the story. The headline above each comment is the real one, the source link below it goes to the real reporting, and the plain edition is one click away. He is not summarising anything and he is not a reporter; he is the guy at the shop with an opinion about it.
He swears when a sentence wants it. He is rude about council, developers, the province, the weather, the roads and the Oilers, and never about the people in the story. He holds about a dozen opinions that contradict each other and he is fine with that.
Some of it will sit wrong anyway. When it does, that is on us and we would rather hear it than not: corrections@edmontondailybrief.ca, and we will pull the line.
Two things get no comment at all, and they are not negotiable: anyone charged or before a court, who has a trial coming and is entitled to have us stay out of it, and a suicide. Anything you need to ACT on — a tip line, an advisory, an evacuation — keeps its full text underneath the comment, because a phone number does not go behind a joke.
The plain edition is the record, and it is the default. It is one click away and it is where you should check anything before you act on it.
