"This is really just an election thing, Not a Council thing." It's also a mind-blowing thing 🤯🤯🤯

Suspicions confirmed: Tim Party candidates are just props to boost a mayoralty campaign that has lost its early lustre because of Cartmell’s flip flops. What a level of non-commitment to Edmontonians.

We have a released an official statement to the media regarding this announcement. Read it in full here: loom.ly/bzwftW4

The revelation that Tim Cartmell will shelve his political party after the October 20th civic election is confirmation that his party was established solely to raise money to support Tim’s floundering effort to become Mayor.

“Tim’s Better Edmonton party was never about Edmonton,” said Sheila Phimester, President of PACE, the first municipal party established for the election. “It was always about Tim’s personal, political ambitions. We always thought that was the case, but now, here’s the proof.”

PACE has recruited, screened, nominated and prepared candidates for the October 20th vote with a focus on offering Edmonton voters a team of outstanding individuals who are fiscally prudent, business friendly, community focussed, practical and experienced decision-makers.

#yeg voters will now be aware that all those Tim party candidates are just props to boost a mayoralty campaign that has lost its early lustre because of Cartmell’s flip flops and voting record (when he shows up) on parties, zoning, taxes, bike lanes, construction and all the rest

“It’s disappointing that Tim used the party idea this way,” said Phimester. “Tim turned an opportunity to help people into a cynical, mercenary, self-serving ego trip. Shame on him.”
