Edmonton Daily Brief · Sources

press.cfl.ca)The league's own press room. Since 2026-10-08 it is the Elks fixture's source: pipeline/sources/cfl.py claims this row, reads the feed, and reads the newest weekly playoff-scenarios release it links ('<week>: <headline>') for that release's '<week> SCHEDULE' rows, which state a game's date, visitor 'at' host, and kickoff. Also collected as news (mode feed), succeeding cfl_ca_league_wide_rss, whose www.cfl.ca/feed/ answers 404. One request per edition: pipeline.http memoises a run's GETs by URL and both readers fetch this url.
TITLES ONLY: each item carries title, link, guid and pubDate, with no description and no body, and no title states a date or a score. English and French releases come in pairs. The weekly storylines release ('WEEK 18 IN THE CFL') lists each coming matchup's PRIOR MEETINGS ('Week 17: HAM 35 – EDM 37'): a season series, not a team's last game; never read it as a last result. Scenario releases with a schedule list ran from Week 13 in 2026; mid-season weeks had none, so the Elks item is absent then. pubDate is not the release's instant: 'Tue, 06 Oct 2026 15:00:00 +0000' for a release whose JSON-LD datePublished is 2026-10-06T19:00:00+00:00 (Toronto wall time stamped +0000); cfl.py uses it only for the year and a day-level window. robots.txt (2026-10-08): 'Disallow: /subscribe/*', 'Disallow: /unsubscribe', no Crawl-delay. Hosted by Prezly; release pages link /privacy-policy and not the CFL terms of use.
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.
