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.
