Anne won’t get my vote this time. I was hopeful her background in administration would allow her to take stronger positions and challenge administration when needed without accepting everything administration put forward at face value. From my perspective there was little if any value add for taxpayers over the course of her term (not that she was alone in that regard).

Her bio is pretty much what you would want AI to generate for the ideal, urban-progressive candidate persona:
After graduating high school, Anne spent 10 years studying, working, and travelling abroad. She received an undergraduate in International Development and Economics at Trent University, which included a year abroad in Ghana. She then went on to pursue a Masters degree in City Design at the London School of Economics and started a career in urban planning in the UK. Following 5 years overseas, Anne moved to Vancouver where she worked in industrial land use planning at Port Metro Vancouver.
Anne was excited to return to Edmonton in 2012 to take a position at the City of Edmonton. She spent 7 years working on a range of planning projects while also volunteering on the board of the Right at Home Housing Society. In 2019, Anne left the City to join Right at Home full-time to focus on delivering a range of affordable housing solutions to meet the diverse needs of our community. She was thrilled to be elected to Edmonton City Council in October 2021.
Anne lives in Wîhkwêntôwin (Oliver) with her partner and daughter.
What a disappointment...

Rahim Jaffer is running a serious campaign and I would be willing to bet is gaining some momentum. Not saying he's winning, but he's going to get decent support.

I won't be supporting Jaffer, but he's going to be a factor and influence in this election.
"What would 2025 Jaffer say to his 38-year-old self?
"Hopefully you've learned a lot of lessons," he said.
"I was young when I was in politics. I was so fortunate to have the opportunity to serve this community for almost 12 years as the member of Parliament. And you know, when you have that kind of profile, you're also a target. So, look. I made mistakes."

Is he being tougher on crime for others, than he received?

I know, and I fully trust that he's sobered up, but I hope he has the humility to acknowledge that he only is where he is because a judge in Ontario was soft on him.

So far we got:
Knack: progressive candidate with most of the Iveson-Sohi coalition
Walters: centrist-ish, possibly catering to the Mandel voters (or what's left of them)
Cartmell: ??? anti-infill
Jaffer: tough on crime classic conservative
Caterina: angry right wing man yells at cloud that has rainbows and infill.
Cartmell's voter base is being split here pretty badly.

Take Caterina's name out of this. He is not even trying. Same as last election where he came 5th against all unknowns.
I think Cartmell has decent support of business community? Maybe just downtown business groups?
And maybe support of most UCP?

Has anyone seen Michael Walters signs anywhere? I've only seen Knack and Cartmell around for any signage.

I can see Jaffer's message resonating with some people given the current situation and times even though it is bit incongruous given his past.
One of Cartmell's problems is he is an incumbent, so its harder to run against what has been done all the years he was on council. It kind of gives the message he was ineffective.
I do feel voters are in an anti incumbent mood right now so that may not be good for either Knack or Cartmell.

Between Knack's name recognition and the cannibalization of the Cartmell vote, I think our baldest mayoral candidate has the best odds.
