Municipal Politics

[David A]

I would be ok with Knack, but there also some former councilors who are good and I wish would run.

Absolutely, except currently the only councilors who are running are ones I really wish wouldn't run.

 

[TAS]

Right now we have 1 choice.

Down south they have 6 main contenders.

 

[Greenspace]

Dunno about you folks, but I'm still waiting for an announcement from Andrew Knack on whether he's running for Mayor or not.

It's coming soon.

It's coming soon.

I've heard the same from some Council folks. Fingers crossed.

Would be nice if Knack ran, if even for the fact that he seems like a reasonable and nice person. That is such a massive win in politics these days.

Well, I think I know who I will vote for as mayor. He's got my vote.

 

[Gus Haynes]

I have my disagreements with Knack, but I will vote for him over Cartmell and his Tiny Tims any day of the week.

By the way, I do not support Tony, but I get to see his Facebook feed.

Thank God! I was getting a bit concerned that the upcoming municipal election would have been a dire choice for Mayor between Cartman (a closet UCP stooge who believes that Windermere is the centre of the universe) and TonCat (who should just retire and be sent down to the glue factory already).

I'm voting for Andrew Knack as Mayor of Edmonton!
