Forward-looking regulatory pipeline: who is applying to build what, and when the hearing/objection deadline is. Transmission lines, power plants and utility rate applications affecting Edmonton-area ratepayers.
LANDING RECORDED 2026-10-12 (DECISIONS #42): the page that publishes this table and that every item links (pipeline/sources/auc.py PAGES). Same rotating-nonce problem. Volume is moderate; filter Division and Applicant to keep Edmonton-relevance. FORWARD_LOOKING set 2026-08-24. Every item this source publishes is about something that has NOT HAPPENED YET, so `published` records when the notice went out and is not a proxy for how current it is. Measured: eight of the seventeen forward-looking headlines lost across nine stored editions came from this source class. The flag does not exempt it from ageing - it ages against DORMANT_SOURCE_MAX_AGE_HOURS (90 days) instead of STORY_MAX_AGE_HOURS (4 days), because a notice that never expires is the same error pointing the other way and harder to spot, since it fails by appearing rather than by vanishing. 90 days is what this source itself does: its own list carries notices to a median age of 46 days and a 90th percentile of 102.

Alberta mode is a guy from Edmonton commenting on the news, and the guy is a machine. One or two lines an item — what somebody who has lived here his whole life would say reading it out to his mates.
It is not the story. The headline above each comment is the real one, the source link below it goes to the real reporting, and the plain edition is one click away. He is not summarising anything and he is not a reporter; he is the guy at the shop with an opinion about it.
He swears when a sentence wants it. He is rude about council, developers, the province, the weather, the roads and the Oilers, and never about the people in the story. He holds about a dozen opinions that contradict each other and he is fine with that.
Some of it will sit wrong anyway. When it does, that is on us and we would rather hear it than not: [email protected], and we will pull the line.
Two things get no comment at all, and they are not negotiable: anyone charged or before a court, who has a trial coming and is entitled to have us stay out of it, and a suicide. Anything you need to ACT on — a tip line, an advisory, an evacuation — keeps its full text underneath the comment, because a phone number does not go behind a joke.
The plain edition is the record, and it is the default. It is one click away and it is where you should check anything before you act on it.
