I posted something like the below in another thread a few months ago:

Druh is a latte-sipping urbanist who tirelessly advocates for the interests of the latte-sipping urbanists who live in her inner city ward. I'm not surprised that many people who choose to live in the suburbs have different priorities and values than her and the citizens of her ward and are therefore opposed to her goals for the city. One wonders, however, why Druh seems to be targeted for so much more hate and vitriol than other members of council with similar views, like Woolley, Carra, and Pincott. Excluding Nenshi, Farrell receives more threats of violence than all other members of council combined.
