Chu's biggest problem is he seems to have no inside voice, and says what he thinks. That being said, there is room for him on this council. He is a good foil for Nenshi, who tends to run over everyone who doesn't adopt his way of thinking.
I actually don't mind in many ways how Nenshi is handling things, though, his biggest problem is he's presiding over the largest expansion of municipal government in Alberta ever, and seems to be pushing even harder for more (see: City Charter).
While Chu sometimes comes across as a dummy, he also appears to be very honest, and in some ways I prefer him to my own ward's councilor, Pootmans. I really hope he finds a job in the private sector so we do not have him as our councillor next term.
