We (Edmonton and Calgary) may be in a position to pilot some different solutions. As partners, we may be able to help the Province implement [a basic income guarantee pilot].

Quote verified. Don Iveson made this statement in June 2015 while Mayor of Edmonton, expressing support for piloting a basic income guarantee in partnership with Calgary and the Province of Alberta. Direct WebFetch of the source URL (leadersandlegacies.com) returned 403, but Google search indexing of that page returned a snippet that directly matches the quote text: "Edmonton and Calgary 'may be in a position to pilot some different solutions'... as partners they may be able to assist the Province of Alberta implement a basic income guarantee pilot." Multiple secondary sources corroborate (BIEN, Canada West Foundation). Author attribution is correct (Iveson was Edmonton mayor 2013-2021). Vote alignment is correct: the quote expresses support for piloting UBI, matching the "for" vote on "Implement a universal basic income." Year (2015) is older than 2025/2026, but Iveson left office in 2021 and no more recent public statements from him on UBI were found via search, so the historical quote stands.
