Not sure how many mecha-heads are present here but Edmonton is featured as a destination in the newest Gundam series!

I have no doubt that the professor had plenty more to say beyond the sound bite about incumbents. But I’d also say don’t let people dismiss this win as “business as usual” for Edmonton either.

The City of Champions reminded the politicians that we’ve got values that mean something, like dignity. The UCP tried to walk up in this house, throw money around, tell us that there’s no money for education, healthcare, or services, and expected people to vote for their surrogates here in this City.

The UCP have brought us CorruptCare, CompassionateCare, Australian Coal companies who disrespect us and want to pollute our lands, and they openly entertain using the Notwithstanding Clause to change the laws with a flick of the pen against all of us. They walk like no one’s keeping score.

I agree it’s not business as usual. Even if the Goliath they raise comes at us with a budget that matches ALL THE OTHER TEAMS IN THE GAME it did not work. Albertans are being asked to defend this house. Edmonton got the message.

We better get ready. The UCP will be back with more.

Looks like Global News is calling it.

Congratulations Andrew Knack.

Please do good for Edmonton.

Votes are still being tallied, with Voter Turn out a low and miserable 30.27%. Knack in the lead at 37.70%, Cartmell in second at 28.72%.

Money talks, and for this very reason, I want Cartmell and his party to be punished at the polls for spearheading all this money into municipal politics at a time when services are cut across Alberta in punishing fashion.

Folks the money's out there to protect our vulnerable, and to keep regular people from becoming vulnerable, the government wishes only to use it for personal power.
