If it was going to be a standard majority I don't think the result would of been 8-7... It would of looked really bad not to let Calgarians make the final choice Yes or No... I think some councilors knew it wouldn't make the 10 so they change there vote to hedge there position... If it was a Yes in the plebiscite that vote would of been forgotten... Now that it is a No next election they can say they tried to kill it on the last vote.
