I note this passage from the globeandmail:

Quote:
So, there you have it. Not only are the mayors of the two biggest cities condemning a Wildrose candidate, they’re calling on Ms. Smith to do more to respond. If she doesn’t, they might speak up once more; if she does, it keeps these stories (the types of which she’d previously called “bozo eruptions”) in the news cycle.

Instead, she continues to praise her slate of candidates as second to none, saying they’re human and prone to mistakes. She hopes to move on. But Mr. Mandel and Mr. Nenshi are waiting, each representing cities that, together, hold 44 of the province’s 87 seats – or, a majority.
It doesn't seem right that Edmonton and Calgary constitute nearly 2/3 of the population of this province but only 1/2 of its MLA seats. That has to change.
