Edmonton Bulletin

Editorial cartoon about the February 1912 Edmonton mayoral election on the February 16, 1912 issue of the Edmonton Bulletin

The Edmonton Bulletin was a newspaper in Edmonton, Alberta, published from 1880 until January 20, 1951. It was founded by Edmonton pioneer Frank Oliver, a future Liberal politician and cabinet minister in the Canadian Government.

Oliver co-founded the paper with Alexander Taylor, the city's first telegraph operator, in 1880.[1] It was Edmonton's undisputed foremost newspaper until the Edmonton Journal was founded in 1903.

The Journal took an editorial stance friendly to the Conservative Party, in contrast to the Bulletin which was the Liberal Oliver's mouthpiece.

The Bulletin folded on January 20, 1951.
