Now if the UCP would only take as much responsibility for social problems, instead of dumping them on Edmonton, as they do for policing

Some tax comparison info. I guess these comparisons are not always fair if other types of fees/rates exist?

^^Took me a second to clue in, but the obvious implication is that the UCP is stacking the commission so they can handpick the next police chief. Yuck.

Great. Even more acrimony and dysfunctional government.

You have to wonder if Danielle has interviewed Kaycee and Jonathan yet?

This was part of Smith's plan when she was leader of the Wildrose.

Cartmell is very irresponsible. It's his tweets that almost caused a City strike.

I don't know if there has been any polling, but I would have to think his chances are fairly good at this point unless some other strong candidate comes in.Tim Cartmell to run for mayor of Edmonton, platform focuses on safety and taxes - Edmonton | Globalnews.ca

Cartmell to run for mayor.
But a big weakness for him is he is an incumbent running when there is a strong anti incumbent feeling. This might be a good time for some former city councilor who can appeal to a range of people to run, someone who has been away from the mess things have become over the last few years.

Yes, and opposed to the south extension, too. He advocates for BRTs.
He says he will be running on a team/party so it will be interesting to see the make-up of that and if any current councillors would be part of that - I could only see Hamilton and Principe (if either of them plan to run again). Not sure that he would ask Rice to be part of his group.
