Dear Adriana:

As we "transfer all command functions" over away from the Federal to the Municipal Writ, I just cannot help but tell you how pleased I am to see such an ambundance of high quality female candidates running for The Office Of Their/Her Worship Of The City Of Edmonton (as well as for Mayorships/Councillor/Trustee positions across Alberta!) Having twice dined with Mayor Jan Reimer whilst she was in office, I can see the real greatness this city could have in having a lady at the top as its Chief Executive again! Once my dad bought us lunch with Mayor Reimer at The Westin Hotel in exchange for the highest bid at auction for Edmonton Emergency Relief Services Society (which Premier Kenney is sadly giving the boot to from its premises, especially when you consider how they bailed us out smashingly along with Mayor Larry Decore, Jan's predecessor during the MCMLXXXVII (1987) Tornado, when Jan was an Edmonton City Alderman)

The other time was at a dinner at The Fairmont Hotel Macdonald where the funds raised went to a womens shelter. At both meals I observed Jan & how adept she was at networking with all sides. Partly from her dad I guess, Neil, who was a former Leader of the Alberta New Democratic Party. Now Mayor Reimer has gone onto an even more rewarding career in keeping battered & abused women, kids (& yes men) safe over at the Alberta Council IV Womens Shelters in an amazing two decades plus so far. Whilst sad that we need these kinds of facilities, I am glad that Executive Director Reimer is there minding the store.

The More Lady Mayoral Candidates The Better,

Rory
