I think the Ward system is a good system, they just need to re draw the maps.

I live in Ward 9 and even on an issue like the SE LRT - I cant see more than 1/2 the riding being affected by it so how does one vote on the issue when 1/2 are probably for it and 1/4 are probably against and 1/4 are 50/50.

I grant that is a very difficult ward to draw given the industrial parks, but I cant see how the interest of Bridgeland and Ogden can ever be truly represented.
