Out at Cloverbar today, here are a couple of shots.
Also Henday work is really geared up along that route.


I believe this is the New Waste to Gas facility.


East Henday River crossing. Could not get any closer as this is not closed off to pleebs.



Also all the new poer lines that no one wanted.

I'll bet Mandel runs again to keep Diotte out. Too much risk of Diotte taking Edmonton into the 20th century.

I have quite enjoyed my emails and chat with Kerry, but he is NOT Mayoral material. Mayors should have vision, not visions of pot hole filling.

I suppose the optimist in me says he has no chance of winning and that his council seat will likely be taken by somebody more progressive.

That would be a win-win for this city.

As much as I don't like that he is running. Don't under estimate the power of ignorance. Look what Toronto got. Expect him to play up the elites in Edmonton against the common people of the burbs. It worked for Ford It'll work for Kerry.
The common theme of all conservatives that realistically should not have a chance.

It will depend on who else throws their hat in the ring and how well they can or cannot mobilize voters.

It's probably a good thing that elections are held in the fall...all the potholes are filled, most of the road construction is completed, and not enough snow to warrant plowing!

He is not even Council material - lots of people in his ward think he is an embarrassment.

This man constantly perplexes me. His chosen timing couldn't be much worse. The deal goes through and he makes the announcement while the media blasts positive news about a council that the people actually like.

What was his alternative? Make the announcement one day after killing a deal after years of fiasco during the halo of massive negative press? And why be the first man in when Mandel still could 🞵🞵🞵🞵 the oxygen out of the room by simply throwing his hat in the ring?

Foolish.

Beautiful clip of Mandel being asked about Idiotte running... Paraphrasing, he said the last three years he has been a waste of space/air/time...
