He wants accountability and to 'say no' when things deserve a no from a costing standpoint.

So 400mil to add a lane to terwillegar? Good.

But a train line connecting our largest tourism destination and major employer to downtown? Bad, convert to high operating cost buses.

This guy is all talk. He’ll win the mayors seat, nothing will change, and he’ll keep pointing fingers at colleagues

Him crying over the Valley Line West extension should disqualify him from any serious consideration but here we are nowwww. God I hope Knack pulls a Carney and wins. Sohi can carry all the sins and baggage of this council.
 
From Cartmell’s website:

“Every tax dollar spent will have a return of twice it's worth or more to the tax base, or we won't spend it”

Does this make any sense?

What is the return of buying a book for the library? Or fixing a pothole?

How could such calculations be made for every expenditure?

Very unserious.

I’d expect an engineer to be better with numbers.

Yes, for a supposedly serious candidate, he has become quite good at meaningless empty rhetoric. I guess after his years on city council, he figures this is how the game should be played. I hope that is wrong.

If you look at election results in Alberta, with one outlier Alberta voters provincially and municipally seem to have screamed in no uncertain terms that that is exactly how they want the game to be played. :(

Maybe voters are that easily fooled, but I am not sure being an incumbent and running as an anti incumbent will work. There is no official opposition on council.

Cartmell was a part of the problems over the last several years with this current council. I feel he needs to be made to own it and not pretend otherwise.
 
From Troy Pavlek:

Jackie Liu of Homeward Trust has declared for pihêsiwin.

Joshua Doyle will be running as the Timbit in papastew, against Michael Janz. I've been told he is the nephew of Dan Mclean, Ward 13 councillor in calgary.

Jordan Robert Willi has filed his notice of intent for councillor. He was in attendance and supportive of Tim Cartmell's capital conversation, which may signal his intent to run as a Timbit.

Kenneth Ropcean has also filed his notice of intent
 
More from Troy:

Banisha Sandhu, a Realtor, has filed nomination paperwork to run in tastawiyiniwak.

Michelle Henderson, owner of the blog https://edmontonfamilyfriendly.com/ has filed intent to run, but will not confirm at this time what ward she's running for

Reed Clarke of Sport Edmonton has filed his nomination paperwork officially, confirming he will be running. He's expected to be the Timbit candidate in Nakota Isga.
 
UrbanAF(FAIRS), Edify's political-focused publication, has been discontinued.

Message from the publisher

Farewell to UrbanAF​

We’re putting a stop to UrbanAF. Calling it a day. Hanging it up. But please keep reading so you don’t get the wrong idea.

UrbanAF (Urban Affairs) was our way of using strong, assertive voices to report political stories from an Edmontonian’s point-of-view. Now we’re focusing our resources: time, energy and yeah, finances on Edify magazine. But this isn’t a pivot away from civic-minded stories. Instead, we’re broadening the scope of the print magazine to have more of the sharp and bold journalism that UrbanAF readers have come to expect.

We are making an intentional decision — there is no trail of unpaid writers or behind-the scenes drama. We are fully committing all resources to our flagship title, Edify, and you’ll see the beginning of the changes in the May issue — on key stands now!

A city magazine is an essential part of the culture of Edmonton and readers tell us they agree by the steady pace and volume of pick up each month. We use the “free for pick-up” model so it’s accessible. The business model is based on revenue from advertisers, sponsors, underwriters and members. We love subscribers, but the cost of the subscription barely covers the mailing — the magazine itself is still free. Keep subscribing if you like the convenience of having it appear in your mail, but even better, become an Ed’s List member and get some extra stuff while reading local, fact-checked journalism and proud Edmonton storytelling.
