Well, vote has been cast. On one hand I feel fine with either Nenshi or McIver, but I have concerns with both as well. On Nenshi, I like many things he says, but am definitely concerned he is your typical idealistic liberal--great intentions, but believes the path to utopia is via spending and more gummint.
McIver strikes me as pragmatic, not the flavour du jour that Nenshi is, but very capable. On the other hand, he has more background in council which can be picked apart easier than someone with no municipal experience. Support from developers and the issues that arise from that is a concern.
I am still waffling, still unsure. Went hesitantly with Nenshi, and am hoping I don't regret it for the next 4 years. Would not be dissappointed with either though honestly.
