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.

Hysterical how BE party were given more money to play with than the rest of the field combined but only managed to have a decisive lead in one ward -- the one they already controlled.

Although they have a narrow lead in 3 others, which is concerning. 4/13 UCP bootlickers on city council is way too many for my liking.

Edmonton's message: the money Cartmell raised was a liability at the polls.

Whatever Cartmell's platform may have been publicly, his donations implied a different platform with quiet terms: Greed.
