My take on the Jespersen interview with the Mayor and Premier was -- much to the upset of my world political view -- that the Mayor is just marking time through his term in office with a complete lack of "big ideas" while Smith seemed to have a better grasp of the issues discussed and also had a reasonable approach to potential solutions. I particularly liked how she had a grasp of modern medicine and its differentiation into more nuanced slots and the need to address those differences in lieu of lumping everything together en masse with a one-size fits all outcome. In the Premier's case I wish Jespersen had talked about the old RAM building and the mis-fire notion to raze the building in favor of a park. For the Mayor's portion of the interview I wish he would have asked what harm would have been engendered to First Nation's sensibilities with the private sector development of an aerial tram through the river valley from Hotel Mac to Whyte Ave. From the proposal that I studied the footprint for the Tram would not have even touched any land that could be considered "sensitive", a position that was solidly reinforced by Chief Darlene Misik of the Papaschase Band and by one of the Mayor's own advisors on all things Indigenous, Lewis Cardinal.
