Ultimately it comes down to how well Council can make decisions, both in cohesion and with differing points of views. Whatever happens I hope a fractured and broken Council is not the result of this municipal election.

I support Nenshi, but I have some concerns about him endorsing candidates. What happens if Druh loses? How conentious will council be with Kevin Taylor sitting there? Same with James Maxim and who knows who else? It just makes for some questionable times going forward.
I do think its interesting that a number of Nenshi supporters (not on this site entirely, but on twitter as well) seem upset with the "slate" implications here, but have no issue with unions donating thousands of dollars to campaigns and supporting candidates. I don't see a difference at all, but I suspect some of that difference is ideology.
