r/Edmonton

There will be a protest on 29 May 2026 from 11:15 AM to 1:00 PM meeting at Centennial Plaza, south of the downtown Stanley Milner Library (9924 101A Ave NW), and marching east towards the Edmonton Convention Centre with Civic Service Union (CSU) 52 if anybody would like to join.

It's in protest to the overreach of UCP on the lives of working class Albertans, including the **notwithstanding clause** (used to order teachers back to work in violation of constitutionally protected labour rights, then subsequently used again to undermine the rights of trans people), the UCP plan to **REMOVE the Canadian Pension Plan from Alberta** (which threatens the retirement security of thousands of working Albertans), and **separatism** (ignoring the Treaty rights of First Nations and harming the Alberta economy upon which all workers depend for their livelihoods).

See you there!

Sorry for making a whole new post but there's some new info that I would like to put out there so that any advice I received is properly tailored

2 new pieces of info I wanna put out there

1. I have come to learn, the 2 people who originally had the LL's permission I thought, are NOT off the hook. It turns out, they were only off the hook if we found new roommates to take their place. The original plan was for them to be replaced by 2 other people, but the landlord stipulated that a new contract will be required for that. Since no new contract is being written, our original one is still active and valid, there is NO LL consent for them to leave anymore like I thought

So the situation has changed to, my roommates are simply all abandoning me mid lease. No consent from the landlord. They are just running off and abandoning the lease plain and simple

2. The lease explicitly stipulates that the LL can collect rent from any or all tenants, there is no division of responsibility, it is all equal

So....now what?

Where is everyone finding the best prices on bedding plants and flowers this year?

Title says it all really. Me and 3 other people are renting a house for $2400/month, and all 3 of them have recently decided to just run off mid lease and just leave me with the place. 2 of them have gotten the landlords permission to leave and I think the 3rd one just doesn't care and is gonna go ghost, and yes I am a leaseholder here, no subletting

But none of that really matters, what matters is I'm now gonna be stuck with a house in which the monthly rent alone is more than I even take home, let alone everything else

Wtf am I supposed to do now? I kinda quite literally have zero choice but to force the LL to just go through an eviction while I save as much money as I can and just try to figure something out. This was outside of my control and was incredibly unexpected and I was blindsided with less than 2 weeks of warning

Can anyone recommend a deck or fence stain they’ve used that holds up in Sherwood park/Edmonton weather/ winters?

I don’t want the one that’s a paint style. I’m looking for something that won’t be peeling in a year! Please let me know what you’ve tried and enjoyed!

I normally leave work around 4:00 to 4:30 from Acheson to the south side. Typically after you clear the whit mud the Henday is smooth sailing. But this week for some reason it's backed up pretty much the entire way and with no accidents. Anybody know why?

Edmonton police are opening a 'stabilization centre' with Recovery Alberta nurses to bring people having a mental health or drug crisis, and hold them under Alberta’s mental health, and liquor and cannabis laws.

Driving the Yellowhead towards spruce grove around 2:00PM. Saw about 10 commercial trucks of various companies, all pulled over in a row off to the side. About a dozen police cars. Most undercover, even a swat type police truck/ mechanic?

Is this just some annual blitz to crack down on commercial trucking violations etc?
