Interesting. Druh's win can be traced back to two polling stations - West Hillhurst (0708) & Sunnyside/Hillhurst (0709). (with Parkdale/Crescents Heights next). Vote was relatively close in most other stations, but the margin of victory in these densely populated areas was what won the day. (Taylor garnered only 19% in 0708) Fortress Latte Sipper held the line for Druh.

While that's not a surprise, it does show how difficult it'll be to win this ward without these specific polling stations. Clearly these densely populated left leaning areas are a formidable challenge to anyone trying to bust in with a conservative agenda.

More surprising is how bad Brent Alexander did in the 0708 poll, which should have been been where he made hay - I believe that's where he lives. Druh eventually came out against a hugely detested cell tower in the West Hillhurst area which was probably wise...it's what swung my vote.
