As we know, the province provided $330 million to Calgary for their arena deal and Edmonton was looking for (promised?) parody with that.
The funding the province has offered (phase 1) for the OEG event centre and other Ice District money plus demo of Coliseum was $187 Million.
Knack made a motion approved today to have council's weight/support behind mayor to push for a second phase of provincial money for the equivalent of what YYC got (so another $143 Million).
The deal for phase 1 projects hasnt been approved yet but apparently that is coming forward soon for a council decision. Here's the motion that was made and approved.

I'm afraid you may well have been correct, even if unintentionally, to describe Edmonton's treatment by the province as a parody...

So parity is just a parody.

On that, Sohi added he would like to see parity in regards to provincial funding on roads - province takes care of all costs and maintenance of Deerfoot. No such parity here.

Council says no to longer meetings but does reduce summer break
Edmonton city council has rejected an administration proposal to extend the standard times for council and committee meetings for the next council by 30 minutes.

Is there a close to shovel-ready City project they could request specific funding for? UCP seems most interested in putting funding behind high visibility, larger scale capital projects.
In a better world the $ differential goes toward a major joint venture redevelopment of the RAM site.

I hear the UCP is looking to make a larger capital investment in our active transportation network. In seriousness, there is a great active transportation project the city had to shelve due to budget - the pedestrian bridge across the street from Hotel Mac.
Or it could go outside downtown into Rossdale to get Power Plant activate or Touch the Water kickstarted.
Or maybe top up student housing accelerator by another $15 million to add some housing in the Quarters or other areas.

Tim Cartmell is trying to explode my brain by making errors in every single piece of correspondence he sends out.

Both Andrew Knack and Michael Walters participated in yesterday`s Pride Parade along with Amarjeet Sohi. I didn`t see any of the other mayoral candidates.

Both Cartmell and Jaffer's social media shows them there taking in event, but not marching in parade. But they were there.
