#236 TURNing it up with Tim Cartmell: Building a Better Edmonton

"I know the machinery of City Council, I know how things work—and now I want to take that next step forward and lead the city in a different way." – Tim Cartmell

In this episode of The Universal Radio Network, we sit down with two-term Edmonton City Councillor, engineer, business owner, and mayoral candidate Tim Cartmell, who is leading the Better Edmonton Party into the upcoming municipal election. With Election Day just around the corner, Cartmell shares why he believes Edmonton needs a shift toward safer streets, stronger fiscal management, and smarter infrastructure planning.

We dive into his campaign priorities of policy, safety, taxes, and building it better, while also tackling pressing concerns Edmontonians face—public safety, rising property taxes, uncoordinated construction projects, and the future of the party system in municipal politics.

Whether you’re still undecided or simply want to hear directly from the candidates, this conversation offers valuable insight into Cartmell’s vision for Edmonton’s future.

Advance polls open October 7, with Election Day on October 20.
