I see Coun. Rice using the Pierre Poilievre CPC party tag line- "common sense approach".

We already started to see some party politics in the last municipal election.

Calling it now, Rice runs for mayor in the next election

Cartmell
Rice
Sohi

Talking to some people where I work, Sohi MAY be in trouble in the small sample size I have.

 

[archited]

Cartmell would have my vote out of the three named.

 

[Gronk!]

Sohi would have my vote out of the three named.
Cartmell is a kinder gentler version of Mike Nickel, while common sense and politics don't match up in Rice's distorted viewpoint.
Salvador has my vote for Mayor of Edmonton if she wants it.

Rice is a joke and should be laughed off of Council.

 

[Kosy123]

Rice is a joke and should be laughed off of Council.

She can run an easy campaign as a "common sense candidate" since she's constantly a contrarian on Council, voting no on property tax increases, etc. Doesn't matter if she's competent or not.

Thank god it isn't up to you

The possibilities would be would be endless with another 4 years of Sohi or think just how much we could achieve on cleanliness and crime with another career bureaucrat in Salvador...

Yeah Cartmell literally, and I mean literally, crying over Valley Line West and pulling the whole "oh see the reason why we can't have bus service in suburban Keswick is because of the LRT!" has made him unpalatable.

 

[Gronk!]

Cartmell should run for Mayor of Windermere!
The rest of Edmonton don't matter to him.

She might have a better chance of putting that image across, if she didn't have a revolving door with many former unhappy staff. More like common pest than common sense.

I had considered Cartmell, but after trying to reach out to him, he has been a disappointment to me. For those who want change, find someone better or you will end up regretting it.

The "change meter" for this current council is firmly stuck on zero.

If you're talking about cleanliness and crime, Salvador deserves credit for championing the issue of problem and derelict properties when she called for this (ultimately successful) pilot during her first year in office. Why nobody on council before her did this I don't know.

Edmonton projects 31 per cent drop in inner city structure fires thanks to problem properties pilot

A pilot program cracking down on so-called "problem properties" is resulting in fewer fires in Edmonton's inner city.

The "change meter" for this current council is firmly stuck on zero.

For a group of politicians most seem fairly impervious to public feedback on many things. They generally seem to just do what their bosses (the administration) tell them, like good little employees.

I don't think that will help their chances in getting reelected and I don't see much vision here either. Its too bad I had hopes for some of them initially.
