City councillor running for mayor unveils slate for upcoming Edmonton election
An Edmonton city councillor who will be running for mayor later this year has launched his municipal political party.
Tim Cartmell unveiled a slate of candidates who will run in this fall's municipal election, including current city councillor Karen Principe and former Edmonton Police Association president Michael Elliott.
Cartmell, who represents Ward pihêsiwin in the city's southwest, said Tuesday he and his slate of candidates will strive to improve public safety, be more financially prudent and develop better construction plans for Edmonton residents.
'You're just going to see more for your money, more of the services that you expect the city to provide, more of what cities are actually supposed to do,' Cartmell told CTV News Edmonton on Tuesday at an event to introduce the Better Edmonton slate.
Tony Caterina, an ex-city councillor, and Andrew Knack, a current city councillor who represents Ward Nakota Isga, are also running for mayor as are Abdul-Malik Chukwudi and Omar Mohammad.

Air Canada passengers still scrambling to rebook as labour dispute grounds flights
Air Canada employees and union members protest outside the Air Canada headquarters in Montreal, Sunday, Aug. 17, 2025, after the federal government intervened in the labour dispute between the airline and the union representing its flight attendants, ordering binding arbitration and operations to resume. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Graham Hughes Air passengers are still scrambling to rebook their flights home as a labour dispute between Air Canada and its flight attendants continues to ground planes around the world. James Hart and Zahara Virani came to Toronto from Calgary for what they thought would be a fun weekend. But now they're having to miss work and pay $2,600 to fly with another airline after their Air Canada flight was cancelled amid the strike and lockout that began Saturday. Virani says she doesn't blame the flight attendants, and is disappointed in Air Canada for not reaching a deal with its workers. The union representing more than 10,000 flight attendants says the workers plan to remain on strike even after the Canada Industrial Relations Board ordered both parties back to work by 2 p.m. ET today. Air Canada had said it would restart flights later today, but it is unclear how the latest news from the union will impact that plan. The Canadian Press
