Fingers are being pointed at the government, and by the premier’s office, after Alberta settled a $143 million lawsuit with a coal company. As Sean Amato reports, the total bill is expected to grow much larger. #ableg #cdnpoli edmonton.citynews.ca/video/2025/07/…
If you hate bike lanes…Rahim Jaffer might be your guy for #yeg mayor. He’s calling for a moratorium until a “full public review is done.” #yegcc
A pair of MLAs who were kicked out of the UCP caucus now plan to join the Alberta Party and rebrand it as PC, MLA Peter Guthrie told CityNews Wednesday. This follows a cease-and-desist letter from the UCP. #ableg #cdnpoli edmonton.citynews.ca/video/2025/07/…
Always a pleasure working in #Jasper. Beautiful place, very friendly people. All the best in the rebuild! (And sorry for bringing some tough political questions to town, but that’s the job and current media did not start that spat...) #ableg
There were tears, hugs and tributes to a fallen firefighter Tuesday in Jasper as residents and officials gathered to commemorate one year since the wildfire was sparked by lightning. Sean Amato has more from #Jasper. #abfire #yeg edmonton.citynews.ca/video/2025/07/…
A few hundred people are gathered in #Jasper this hour to commemorate the 1-year anniversary of the wildfire that destroyed 358 buildings and led to the death of firefighter Morgan Kitchen. There are some tears and grief counsellors are here to help. #yeg #abfire
The mayor of #Jasper is politely declining an apology demand from the premier of Alberta. As Sean Amato reports, the disagreement comes one year after the blaze and as the town prepares for a rebuilding boom. #ableg #cdnpoli edmonton.citynews.ca/video/2025/07/…
Your own statement called the report "politically motivated" and "misguided." When reporters asked you about the report, you said it was "unfair" and "untrue" and demanded that it be "withdrawn" and an apology issued. But sure, blame the media, premier. #ableg #cdnpoli
We appreciate that the Town of Jasper has clarified the intent of their recovery report and acknowledged that it was never intended to be critical of the province’s contributions. In their statement, the municipality of Jasper is clear that they recognize and value the…
Investigative journalism is essential in a healthy democracy, folks. If you value freedom and accountable governments, let reporters do our jobs! #ableg #cdnpoli
Hi, yes, g'morning. This is awkward. But targeting a reporter - hi! - with surreptitiously obtained photos and details of her tooling around town is an attack on the public's right to know. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
Back in #Jasper for the first time since the fire. It will be an emotional week. Lots of work to be done but it’s nice to see a busy main street. #yeg
A new report into the Jasper wildfire is ‘untrue’ and ‘unfair,’ Alberta’s premier said Friday while demanding an apology from the municipality. But as Sean Amato reports, the NDP says it’s the premier who is out of line. #ableg #cdnpoli edmonton.citynews.ca/video/2025/07/…
Alberta's premier is demanding an apology from the Municipality of Jasper over a new report which concluded (in part) that the province hindered the emergency response to the blaze that went on to destroy 358 buildings, almost 1 year ago. #ableg #cdnpoli
Alberta’s premier just said she wants an apology from Jasper over this report into the wildfire. She said the province was not involved in the command until after the town burned and she doesn’t appreciate Alberta being blamed. More tonight! #ableg #cdnpoli
“No politics. No games. We are better together.” The Alberta NDP has now entered the chat on the Jasper wildfire dispute… #ableg #cdnpoli
