Overview
- Post-election analysis in Edmonton highlights roughly 70% voter non-participation and argues centre-right vote-splitting cleared the path for Andrew Knack’s mayoral win.
- A business-aligned columnist faults prolonged or late entries by Rahim Jaffer and Michael Walters, plus Stephen Mandel’s endorsement, for fracturing support that Tim Cartmell needed.
- Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman says the Oilers must move players soon as Alec Regula’s return and pending comebacks for Zach Hyman, Kasperi Kapanen and Mattias Janmark leave a full 23-man roster.
- Potential moves discussed include trading Troy Stecher due to limited usage or, as Frank Seravalli suggested, moving Ty Emberson for cap relief, with waivers or AHL assignments also in play.
- In Ottawa, MP Chris D’Entremont’s jump from the Conservatives to the Liberals drew letters calling the move a betrayal and urging him to resign and recontest, alongside polarized letters assessing Prime Minister Mark Carney’s performance.
