EDMONTON—In a dramatic video standing in front of an underground LRT station entrance in Edmonton, Alberta Justice Minister Tyler Shandro announced last week he would be invoking a section of the provincial Police Act to demand that city council develop a public safety plan within two weeks.
It was the latest salvo in what has been a fractious relationship between the province and city. Sohi has previously criticized the government for not investing enough in its areas of responsibility, such as affordable housing. Earlier this month, Shandro accused Edmonton’s council of slashing funding to the Edmonton Police Service, which some councillors disputed.
“Council is investing in many issues that are the responsibility of the province, and frankly, they’re falling short,” Sohi said. In a separate press conference, Shandro also characterized the meeting as productive. “It was a great opportunity for us to be able to sit down and actually listen … I think we’re on the same page,” said.
“If they have suggestions for us, happy to get those submissions from Edmonton city council. But I don’t want to pre-empt what they might be submitting to us,” he said.
