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.

I don't disagree with any of that. I'm just saying that as a voter I happen to support his agenda, and given that the main obstacles to it are other councillors, my desire is to vote for a councillor who agrees with me, and not one who wants (either secretly or openly) to advance an agenda that I disagree with.
That's how democracy works.
