Andrew Knack

He's absolutely right.

And if you're Jeremy Farkas or if you're Andrew Knack or whatever, it's like, can we focus on...

There's a lot of things that are going on in our province right now.

There's a lot of issues that municipalities have with the province.

From the national newsroom of The Canadian Press, I'm Hannah Stoles.

Edmonton Mayor Andrew Knack says he's excited that Albertans have voted to reject a referendum on separation.

Knack says he's heard from people who were frustrated by the referendum, but the results put the issue to rest.

He says the province now has its work cut out for them.

That's an edited version of a 12-minute televised address delivered tonight by Alberta Premier Daniel Smith.

Andrew Knack is the mayor of Edmonton.

We reached him at Edmonton City Hall earlier today.

Mayor, how did you sleep last night, if at all?

Thank you.

Thank you so much for having me.

Andrew Knack is the mayor of Edmonton.

That's where we reached him.

Of those, four relate to greater control over immigration and what social services some migrants will have access to.

Andrew Knack says the results will largely affect people in our city, especially newcomers.

I don't know what the rest of the province is saying, but we need to remember that Edmontonians are the ones most directly impacted by those five questions, and I don't want our neighbors to feel like they're not welcome in our city.

They are welcome in our city, no matter who they are, no matter what they believe in, no matter any of that.

Not only question 10, the separation vote, but what about the other nine questions, where it looks like all of them will pass except for one constitutional question, question eight.

But it looks like all of those immigration ones, and they're not even really that close, will go ahead.

Andrew Knack joins us, coincidentally, for our monthly chat.

6.50, coming up after the 7 o'clock news, we're going to be talking to Andrew Knack, the mayor.

He was at the watch party I was at yesterday, and I think he's pretty happy with the results of question 10.

It's the other nine questions that Albertans voted on that he's a little concerned about in terms of what does it mean to newcomers in our city, our province.
