Speaking of Randy, I was watching the NFB-produced 2008 documentary Le chœur d'une culture about the Chorale Saint-Jean's trip to Québec for the city's 400th anniversary when (jump scare!) this face popped up:

Carney runs Edmonton-Centre if Randy's not running. That's the best play for him. Sohi runs in Edmonton Southeast, a few others run in other Edmonton ridings. If all goes well for them, they might even sweep all of Edmonton red, besides the two NDP ones.

How and why Riverdale was and remains part of Strathcona and not Edmonton Centre - or even Edmonton Griesbach - still leaves me shaking my head...

It the other Randy! Or maybe just a younger version of him

That is like blaming the collapse of the Alberta economy in the eighties on low oil prices not the NAP as revisionists like to do. It was indeed a double whammy but at least low oil prices are cyclical so that gives some optimism with the people affected. Arbitrary government policies on the other hand are debilitating not knowing when and if anything will change. Having a provincial government playing favourites at your expense at the same time was too much. Two levels of government not acting in your best interest imagine that. We have experienced almost 50 years of uninterrupted bias from our provincial government.

The move is sure to further fuel speculation about where Prime Minister Mark Carney will run, who grew up in Edmonton and skated with his beloved Oilers hockey team on Thursday.

I don't think Carney is running in Edmonton Centre. I know someone who was asked if they are interested in running for the Libs in this riding.
Carney has decided where he is running and if it was Edmonton Centre they wouldn't be asking around for a candidate.
That said, things can change fast.

There is a difference between the 2 parties here. When PP brought this housing policy forward, he did so under the premise of cancelling the housing accelerator fund. As Carney noted yesterday in Edmonton, the housing accelerator fund is helping cities build more housing (Yeg is a leader and received $175 million). But along with keeping this fund going, adding no gst provides even more support so makes sense to have multiple measures.

Check again, my friend. Riverdale has been added to Edmonton Griesbach, which is a really good thing, imo:

Thanks Gus!
I was commenting on the initial post and map from Greenspace and missed the updated one from Fjordgard.
We’ve lived here for almost 23 years and always felt disconnected federally and provincially so really happy to be corrected on this one!

I’m hearing Iveson for Edmonton Centre but things are moving fast realize that could change. There was supposed to be an announcement on Friday as well for Sohi that didn’t happen. Lots of moving parts right now everyone’s scrambling.

Speaking of the federal housing accelerator fund, it was announced today that Edmonton is receiving $17.8 million extra for exceeding its targets. This will be on top of the $175 million that was allocated for the program.
"Today, the Government of Canada announced that 27 top-performing Housing Accelerator Fund communities will receive additional funding as part of the first round of the program."

^^ I suspect there is a pause related to figuring out who is going to run where for the libs and is Carney in or out of that equation. I suspect there will be some clarification tomorrow.
