As it is, I'm not that informed about just who those candidates are, which is my own fault. My current plan is to call each of the candidates in Ward 6 and ask for their promise to work with the Mayor on these issues.
Of course, Pootmans has the name thing going for him, which I'll admit is pretty compelling....

Yes cause that's what we need in any democratic body, is everyone on the same page rubber stamping everything that the dear leader does while bowing while he walks into chambers.
Debate and disagreement are good for democracy as long as alternate ideas come out of it and its not debate for b1tching's sake.
I personally want a fresh slate of Aldermen and woman or whatever that put some controls on the mayor especially in terms of spending and refuse to have secretive club meetings behind closed doors.
Nenshi isn't that great of a mayor that he deserves a complete lack of oversight and a overly compliant government body.
