I couldn't find anything worth quoting in the article, but the link contains a speech by Mandel addressing the fiscal inequalities that the province imposes on Edmonton (and Calgary is in a similar situation). This is an issue that needs more awareness, so I hope you read it. Calgary and Edmonton aren't getting their fair share from the province, but we have two-thirds of the votes. We have the power to make the province listen to us, so let's join Mandel in making this an issue for them!

Is that true? I may very well be mistaken, but I thought that Calgary and Edmonton ridings had fewer seats in the provincial legislature than our populations would warrant, thus Alberta's two largest cities are actually
under-represented.
