This is necessary with a mayor like Sohi.

Shame of the un abilities to resolve situations like that regardless of amount of money that the government received.

One thing we learned in New York City after Rudolph Giuliani and during refueling outage that crime is not that hard to take control of it and keep your citizens safe it's easier oh, but you must know how to use your Police Department, you must know how to deal with the district attorney you must know how to do all things once integrated, you could turn any City even Chicago into a beautiful place even though everybody could be poor or anything like this but everybody is safe once you do that the money rolls in

Glad to see there's oversight. The city council contributed to poverty during ridiculous lockdowns. I want to see exactly how many Edmonton small businesses have gone under last two years because of strict "health" regulations. And how many city police officers and by law officers lost hours due to "budget" constraints from city hall. Edmonton mayor manage your city. Taxpayers are dying!!!

That mayor is a joke, you had your chance, your city is a mess. Step aside and let others clean it up. Tough measures need to be in place not “let’s open some dialogue”.

With all the information from New York City, and it's important that you take the necessary action to protect your population, and I don't blame him for wanting to take control if certain things are not working properly we need to fix it let's fix it Rudolph Giuliani and his former police commissioner Bratton and the other ones already to help, all you got to do is ask them, crime is not the demon powerful as we thought it was it's easily defeatable but they have to be honest and you have to have proactive police

The capital city of Alberta should be a showcase for the province.
Much love from Vancouver.
Go Edmonton!

Once again Shandro jumps into a complex set of issues with a blunt instrument. Wonder if he's going to manage to jump himself to the back benches this time.
