LICENCE LINKED 2026-10-12 (owner: a licence link wherever possible): the Bank's terms, cited: it 'permits you to freely use, copy, distribute and transmit its website content'. WIRED since the markets rail existed: pipeline/sources/markets.py reads V39079 (policy rate) from Valet for the front-page table; this entry was labelled NOT WIRED while code read the endpoint every build. Enabled so the audit matches the code. Guessed group names DO NOT work — I got 404 on /valet/groups/json and /valet/observations/group/bank_of_canada_target_rate/json. Use the explicit series id V39079. Group FX_RATES_DAILY does exist (verified 200). Terms at www.bankofcanada.ca — attribution required. Was catalogued as NOT WIRED, found 2026-08-21 on a second pass: the first wiring audit matched this source on a generic path segment such as 'news' or 'items' and wrongly counted it as referenced. Its mode has no generic collector and no code names its endpoint. Disabled so the registry stops counting it as coverage; the entry is kept because the endpoint was verified. See ops/wiring.py.
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.
