And for the record, I believe we're getting the same thing up here in Edmonton, lead by Councillor Mike Nickel, who is a grandstanding showboat with the intention to antagonize Council as a false protector of the "public dime". He's basically the Oilers version of Farkas, and he's going to lead a couple of current Councillors with a slate for the city as well. They will brandish the same message too - "clean up Silly Hall" and prevent taxpayer waste.
