Description

A monstrous thunderstorm slammed Edmonton Saturday night, turning streets into rivers and forcing evacuations as Whitemud Drive shut down between 156 and 178 Street—underpasses turned into lakes, cars stranded in two-foot-deep water, and firefighters rescued trapped residents. The deluge overwhelmed drains, sending geysers of water shooting from manholes, while Yellowhead Trail and Jasper Avenue also flooded. K-Days attendees scrambled for cover, and a Post Malone concert was cut short. Emergency services were overwhelmed—911 lines flooded with calls, prompting police to urge non-emergency issues to use 780-423-4567 (or 377 from within the city). Environment Canada had warned of severe weather: damaging winds, large hail, and tornado risk west of the city. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

episode The ENSHITTIFICATION of Hockey Fans | Edmonton News artwork

The ENSHITTIFICATION of Hockey Fans | Edmonton News

Hockey fans are feeling the sting of “enshittification” — a slow, painful decline where the experience gets worse while profits keep rising. From ads on jerseys to sky-high ticket prices, the game’s been stripped of its charm, replaced by paywalls, gambling ads, and rising costs that make fandom harder to afford and enjoy. Once a free, unifying tradition, beloved broadcasts like “Hockey Night in Canada” are now locked behind subscriptions, while the human joy of the sport gets drowned out by commercial noise and financial pressure.

Eleven days into the search for autistic, nonverbal 11-year-old Parker, volunteers are staying safe in the summer heat while a parent, Jennifer Ball, rallies support for expanding Canada’s Amber Alert system to include children with medical or developmental needs. With 18,000 petition signatures and direct outreach to officials, Ball’s campaign gains momentum, fueled by Parker’s case. Search teams are prioritizing their well-being, with community support pouring in—drinks, encouragement, and quiet solidarity. Officials urge the public to help by checking their own properties and reporting tips, while respecting search boundaries—all united in the mission to bring Parker home.

McDavid’s 5-Point Night Secures Art Ross | Edmonton News

Connor McDavid delivered a legendary five-point night against the Sharks on April 8, dropping two goals and three assists to lead the Oilers to a 5-2 win — a performance that not only clinched him his sixth Art Ross Trophy but also cemented his place among hockey’s all-time greats. Facing a brutal division race and missing key teammates like Draisaitl, McDavid carried the load with elite poise, outdueling rivals Kucherov and MacKinnon in a historic scoring title showdown. His game wasn’t just a highlight — it was the defining moment of the Oilers’ 2025-26 season, proving once again why he’s the league’s most unstoppable force.

episode Carney Calls Three Byelections | Edmonton News artwork

Carney Calls Three Byelections | Edmonton News

Prime Minister Mark Carney just triggered a political firestorm by calling three crucial byelections for August 31st in Ontario, British Columbia, and Quebec—vacant seats left by MPs who’ve moved on to new roles. With the Liberals clinging to 172 seats and set to lose one before Parliament returns, winning even one of these races could mean the difference between maintaining power and facing a tighter majority. Tensions are rising after Nate Erskine-Smith, narrowly defeated in a nomination bid by just 19 votes, accused the process of being rigged—though interim Liberal leader firmly defended its fairness. As the clock ticks down, every vote in these three ridings could reshape Canada’s political landscape. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
