What was really funny recently was Mike trying to get everyone to attend a debate on September 30th...

It's also super funny that he wants to end photo radar when I find since photo radar was implemented that almost every road I drive on everyone drives the speed limit or under. This doesn't happen in any other Canadian city I've driven in.

Haha! Yup.

401 in Ontario around Toronto is a race track and the highway between Vernon and Kelowna is no better.

People slow down near a photo radar van - then speed up after they go by. Not much but a cash cow - no incentive there.

Now if you start charging demerits - that is another story

I've seen the opposite in my area and others around it - Alberta Ave, Bonnie Doon, Beverly, McCauley, etc.

He could be a hamster and I would still have him rather than Nickel. He'll be the ruin of ANY hopes for a thriving urban community in Edmonton.

Reality is that most people make up their minds 2-3 weeks from election day. Signs don't mean sh*t.

^Was hard to get through that video. I find Sohi and Krushnell the most likeable. Watson turned me off completely. Why aren't the others participating? Looking for one where one of their primary goals is to create a vibrant , revitalized downtown and to attract business . This has been an issue since the early 80s. (unbelievable!!). First time voting in a municipal election. Who can do it?

Rocket252 · #**237** Posted **Sep 29, 2021, 2:14 PM**

^ My question as well - which mayor candidate has the ability to move this city forward?

Also I am in the Northeast area - Dene I believe is what they call it - how has Aaron Paquette performed over the last few years and is he someone to elect again or is there anyone else in this ward of notice?

Hallsy's Toupee · #**238** Posted **Sep 29, 2021, 2:35 PM**

I'm still deciding between Amarjeet Sohi and Cheryll Watson.
I live in O-day'min and I have Anne Stevenson as the front runner for my vote.

Rocket252 · #**239** Posted **Sep 29, 2021, 2:57 PM**

I am leaning towards Sohi because of experience and his relationship with the Fed Liberals - maybe he can pull some favors from them

Sorry for the late response to this one. I had a chat with an RCMP officer quite a while back who stated that a new type of photo-radar was coming (already demo'd). It would capture your license plate, and timestamp. Another setup further down the highway would capture the same information. A simple distance over time calculation gives them an average speed that likely still exceeded the speed limit, allowing them to charge you with a 'bare minimum' speed you reached. in other words, go ahead and think you 'beat' the radar by slowing down before they measured your speed. It won't help you.
