Mayor Spearman was part of a kind of a group with other progressive politicians, former Mayor Heron out of St. Albert.

You remember Avnish Nanda, the lawyer, Don Iverson, former Edmonton mayor, Rachel Notley, former Alberta premier.

They all signed their names to this op-ed, your former paper, the Edmonton Journal.
