Welcome

Welcome to Bloggers Edmonton, the intent of this site is to create a blogroll for Edmonton bloggers to promote fellow Edmontonians blogs. If you wish to join, e-mail me and I will add your name to the list, providing of course you are in fact from Edmonton. As I have another blog, the Blogging Party of Canada, my time here will be sparce. I am also open to any ideas you may have, just let me know.......
Below is the blogroll code, put it up on your site and e-mail me your blogsite, and I will add you to the roll.

City of Edmonton has gone NUTS!

On my way home from work, I was listening to 630 CHED as I often do. I was apalled appon hearing that our city council is suggesting a 9.8% property tax hike for the 2007 budget! Are they out of their %$@#&* minds? I'm fairly sure that this will be no where near the actual increase, however I for one am going to let them know how unexceptable this is. They better take a very hard look at their budget and do some serious thinking about it. I can guarentee that those whom support this will not see the light of day come the next municipal election.

I must point out that not everyone in Alberta is rolling in dough as many seem to think. Perhaps if I were one of those folks I would not care. Perhaps if my parents were not on a fixed income, I would not care. Perhaps if I was one of those well above average income earning councillors or the mayor, I would not care.

I suggest every citizen of Edmonton show your outrage and call or write your councillor and Mayor Stephen Mandel NOW!

Just so you don't have an excuse not to. Follow the links!
Mayor Mandel
Councillors

You can also send an email to all of them at once via an online form available HERE

Northern Wheeling and Dealing, a business blog, has joined our roll, and Shaz the creator is doing a fine job. Welcome to the blogroll Shaz, glad to have you in the ranks. Make sure you all head over and say hi.

Bloggers Edmonton Needs a New Belt

Like a stomach after Christmas turkey, Bloggers Edmonton has grown larger yet, with not one but TWO new additions in the area of politics.

Le Revue Gauche is a site of a different color, run by Eugene with whom I have had the pleasure of a few debates which are normally pretty interesting. Eugene brings the communist vision with him into a debate, which when styled after certain past leaders has actually been advantageous to some countries, in some ways at least. Welcome Eugene

I Pretend My Name Is Devendra is going to give us political junkies a tough time with all of our constant drivel !!! You see, this site is run by a Political Science major at Grant MacKewan. Devendra is new to the blogging scene and getting the hang of posting before she shows us all up with his scholastic genius. Careful Devendra, us old dogs are pretty stubborn.....lol. By the way Devendra, if you ever see a contractor working on the blinds or projection screens at Grant MacKewan, stop and say hi, that's me.

Make sure you stop by and give the new members a big hello......

Welcome Whispering Winter

Although I hate using the words welcome and winter in the same sentence, I would like to welcome Linda to the Bloggers Edmonton roll with her blog Whispering Winter. She's brand new to blogging and her personal blog is another welcome addition to our roll .

I thik I may start sending out e-mails when a new blogger signs up, what do you all think?? Or does anyone actually even read THIS page.....lol

What It Takes To Win.......

Everyone say hi to Victor, who just joined our roll with his blog What It Takes To Win...., another personal/political blog added to the list. Victor is a Conservative blogger who has been at it for over a year. Welcome to the club Victor, glad to have you....

Welcome Avalanche

Welcome to the club Aime, glad to have you aboard.
