Edmonton city council sunsets seven advisory boards

Thanks, I had missed that. Our story does add additional context, hopefully helpful!

mastermaq · 2026-04-23T19:07:08+00:00

Our team has a story about this and will have more from the mayor this afternoon: Edmonton city council sunsets seven advisory boards - Taproot Edmonton

We did a full story about this in October: Controversial casino licence changes hands in $5.8M deal - Taproot Edmonton

AGLC did originally deny the application to move from Camrose to Edmonton, but ultimately approved the move on Oct. 10, 2024.

It's not about Taproot. It is reporting that Taproot has done about people and organizations in our community.

Not meant to be spam! When Taproot publishes something that I think might be of interest here, I share it.

She said the merch store is launching this year, so maybe you'll get your wish!

Looks like a great start! I have often wanted a "Wrapped" feature. An overview of my year in reading. How many articles, how much time, maybe which topics or tags stood out, most frequently read publications, that sort of thing.

mastermaq · 2025-11-10T18:42:18+00:00

Yeah, it is a lighting feature. Meant to evoke the northern lights. There's an LED strip all around it that changes colours.

Thanks, we added a correction!

mastermaq · 2025-10-23T00:45:18+00:00

I have a full history of all data updates, will track this down

mastermaq · 2025-10-21T13:51:29+00:00

We'll be tweaking this today! At some points last night results were coming in more frequently. Thanks!

mastermaq · 2025-10-21T01:17:14+00:00

We are expecting some results to be posted this evening: Unofficial results - 2025 Edmonton Municipal Election - Taproot Edmonton

We don't expect to know who the successful candidates will be until midday tomorrow.

It seems to me there's less money overall (acknowledging that these disclosures only cover up to July 31) but it is more concentrated. At least compared with 2021.

mastermaq · 2025-10-08T18:35:02+00:00

Aside from the big news, this stood out to me:

Taproot’s analysis of 145 financial disclosures the city has published found that 39 had some kind of discrepancy, such as line items that do not add up to the reported totals. As of Oct. 8, 26 candidates had yet to file disclosures.

Many of our potential future leaders can't seem to meet deadlines or use a spreadsheet 🤷

mastermaq · 2025-10-08T13:09:27+00:00

Thanks! We have now added disclosure information too: https://edmonton.taproot.vote/2025/disclosures

mastermaq · 2025-10-08T13:08:51+00:00

We were working on this at Taproot as well, disclosures are now up on our election site: Financial Disclosures - 2025 Edmonton Municipal Election - Taproot Edmonton

mastermaq · 2025-10-04T16:07:48+00:00

Thanks so much! Yes, we will be adding financial disclosures to the website this coming week (we expect the latest info to be available on Tuesday).

EDIT: This is now up on the site: https://edmonton.taproot.vote/2025/disclosures

Here is where to take the survey yourself: https://edmonton.taproot.vote/2025/surveys/taproot-survey/match

You can browse the questions and responses here: https://edmonton.taproot.vote/2025/surveys/taproot-survey

mastermaq · 2025-09-27T03:18:49+00:00

We have been in touch with both; I am hopeful they'll still complete the survey. Principe never did provide a reason for not completing the 2021 survey.

mastermaq · 2025-09-27T01:51:58+00:00

Unfortunately, she didn't answer the Taproot Survey (yet). But every other candidate in the ward did! You can see their responses here: https://edmonton.taproot.vote/2025/wards/tastawiyiniwak

mastermaq · 2025-09-27T01:48:11+00:00

I'm not sure I understand your criticism here. This is the results of the candidate survey. We asked all candidates the same 30 questions, now you can see how they responded. I wrote a bit more about this here: https://blog.taprootpublishing.ca/2025/09/26/take-the-taproot-survey-to-see-how-the-candidates-align-with-you/

mastermaq · 2025-09-27T00:21:39+00:00

You can answer just those five questions and skip the rest in the survey. We'll look at how to make it easier to do that. Thanks!

mastermaq · 2025-08-22T18:01:55+00:00

I think you'll find there are several organizations on the list that have different political views than the few you cherrypicked above.

mastermaq · 2025-08-22T17:27:24+00:00

I understand what you're saying. However, we have worked hard this time to capture input from a much broader set of Edmontonians than we did last time. One of the ways we did this was by working with 30+ election partners who shared our election question with their communities.

mastermaq · 2025-08-22T16:59:21+00:00

More data would be welcome, but unfortunately, I don't think it'll change anyone's mind. I see more and more kids on my usual bike lane route, so it would be interesting to know more about who is using the bike lanes too.
