The umbrella body for Edmonton's affiliated unions — labour disputes, city-wide bargaining, May Day and Day of Mourning. Organised labour reached this paper only through employer-side and provincial sources.
REPOINTED 2026-10-08 (owner, DECISIONS #38): www.edlc.ca is a parked domain (a registrar's 'domain registered' page). The Edmonton & District Labour Council publishes at edmontonlabour.ca; its WordPress feed is live but sparse (newest 2026-01-09, then 2025-10-06). Was www.edlc.ca (mode wpjson); now its feed, mode feed. robots.txt asks Crawl-delay: 10. | No <link rel=alternate> on the homepage; the WordPress REST endpoint is the machine path and answers directly. Read by collect_wordpress via mode wpjson.

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.
