Edmonton Daily Brief · Sources
<a href="/sources.html">Sources</a>
Every AUC decision, order, permit and licence with applicant name, proceeding ID and date — fully structured. Powers items like 'AUC denies Synapse Data Center Power Plant Project'. Genuinely brief-worthy for an Edmonton energy/utilities audience.
READS RECORDED 2026-10-12 (DECISIONS #42). The fetch ledger's first night (2026-10-11 evening edition) listed /regulatory_documents/decisions/ under no record: it is the page that publishes the table (every item links it, pipeline/sources/auc.py PAGES) and the page the public nonce is read from (auc.nonce()). It is this table's landing. The ninja_table_public_nonce ROTATES. Do not hardcode it — scrape www.auc.ab.ca and regex out the current admin-ajax URL each run, then call it. Set limit_rows (limit_rows=0 dumps the entire multi-year table). The AUC's own RSS at /regulatory_documents/decisions/feed/ is a decoy: it returns 200 application/rss+xml but is a COMMENT feed titled 'Comments on: Decisions' with lastBuildDate 2023-12-12. AUC's WP REST custom post types /wp-json/wp/v2/news and /wp-json/wp/v2/library both return 200 but empty arrays []. robots.txt is fully permissive (Disallow: blank, only /prd-wp-uploads/wpforms/ blocked).
If this is yours and you want it left out, write to hello@edmontondailybrief.ca. We stop reading it and withdraw everything that cited it, past editions included. Every source · How this paper is made
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.
