I've tried "Practical Solutions" on two different browsers and its been giving a "not found" error all day. I didn't want to delay my summary post any further.
You've had a couple of pro-Ripley comments in this thread. Would you consider him an ally of the mayor? I couldn't find any detail of how he's voted on the Calgary Planning Commission.
I know Ripley is following this thread, since he found me on Linked-In after I discussed him up thread. Shawn, if you're reading this, feel free to post, we'd love to hear from you.
I will comment that his team hasn't responded to a couple of requests with questions, and that he seems like a parachute candidate. I have a hard time voting for someone with no prior connection to the area. It feels like an opportunistic thing to do. If he cared about the area so much he could have moved here two years ago. If he doesn't, and just wants to be on council, then he should run where he lives, imo.
A councillor who doesn't respond to constituents and doesn't live in the ward doesn't seem like a good choice to me...
