Alberta is looking to rejig its constituency map ahead of the next provincial general election in 2027 .

Alberta has long been a clear electoral imbalance in favour of rural areas, which is an advantage that conservative parties have nurtured to great effect.

Edmonton Mayor Amarjeet Sohi has yet to announce whether he will run for re-election.

Keith Gerein says social media has become toxic echo chambers of outrage, partisanship, trivialities and misinformation.

In the wrong hands it also creates a false impression of the world and divides us into alternate realities, he says.

Instead, choose to stay informed in different ways such as by spending more bandwidth on real things, real events and real people.
