Yes, everyone is on board except, as I mentioned, the County of Warner. I think the commission used county lines because that made sense to them. They didn't understand the nature of the communities in that area. The communities Cardston, Magrath, Raymond, and Stirling are much more a community of interest even though they're in different counties. In fact, they're within the same school board and many other administrative organizations, they're united in that way. Like I said, in Milk River and Coutts they have said, you know what they're not.... That's just the mayors. When I'm talking to the citizens I think that they're more interested in remaining in a purely rural riding because they're not close to the city they would be in. The mayors themselves have said, “You know what, we don't have any trouble being in the Medicine Hat riding”. It's not a strong objection to a proposal, and quite frankly if we use the school board line as a dividing point we could easily include the towns of Warner, Milk River, and Coutts into the Medicine Hat riding and keep within the population balance. It would balance things out fine.
