Here are some pictures from when I visited the Edmonton Firefighters Union. Firefighters are a crucial part of the city's services. They keep us safe.

Some more content from the Bissell Open House. As a former employee of the Bissell Centre, I still strongly believe in their mission.

The picture is of me in front of a Bissell Centre banner. I am wearing a pink jacket and black glasses. I have blonde hair. The banner is blues with white and black text. The words say "Bissell: Committed to solving poverty since" and the year is cut off in the picture.

Is infill a top election issue in 2025? According to polls, no.

Only 14% of people rank infill as a top 3 issue, ranking below garbage collection.

While infill may not be a top issue, it helps solve the actual top issues.

On Saturday, we went out door knocking in Parkallen again. We covered another 20 houses. Thank you to those who let me tell them about my platform and to my volunteer who came with me.

Many are focused just on the mayoral race or the councilor race in their ward but the trustee race is important too. Check our the trustee forums on this list

Please ensure that you attend the trustee candidates forum in your area. It’s very important to choose well.

On Thursday, I attended the EPL Lunch and Learn at Stanley Milner Library. It was an opportunity for candidates to hear from library management and get a tour of the building. It was great fun! #yeg #edmonton #campaign #politics #election #papastew #rjforpapastew

A picture of me in front of an electronic display at the Stanley Milner Library. The display is showing a carousel sigh pink horses and a blue and white carriage. I am wearing black glasses and a pink coat and I am blonde.

A picture of a dinosaur bone in a case at Stanley Milner. The bone is large and black with white marks on it. The case has glass covering the bone and a beige bottom with the words "Royal Tyrell Museum" on it.

The picture is of "The Wall" at Stanley Milner, which is an interactive electronic display. The display is showing a simulated mountain scene and there are evergreen trees and a lake aside from the mountains.

The picture is of a tipi at the library. The tipi is very tall with poles holding it up poking up and it is made of a white fabric. There are pillows with yellow patterns on the floor.

I really only knew Dr. Darren Markland via social media. But his front line reports from the ER during Covid moved me to tears. His bravery, his compassion, his commitment to patient care, and to the truth, were unparalleled. In the worst of the pandemic, he was the hero we needed. #yeg

The human heart is

The size of a

Fist

Clenched.

Indefatigable, and infallible

On pain of death.

And yet it skips

At the most curious

Times,

To remind us of its finite

Beats.

And perhaps to attend us

To use them both wisely

And with abandon.

— Darren Markland, August 2025
