She is one of the most approachable sitting Councillors willing to talk to city residents. Sounds like people just don't agree with her voting record.
Will be interesting to see if Farrell continues on. She's been there for a long time now.
That said, I have no doubt that Ward 7 will find itself a UCP acolyte to run as part of the slate, whether that ends up McCrae or someone else. I suspect because of the progressive vote in that Ward that the candidate will be more muted on their alignment though. Sort of like a "back door" entry plan without saying too much.

Divisive as she is (for not particularly good reasons), it might be nice to see some experienced hands like her run for the [hopefully to be renamed] provincial NDP. Not sure that's appealing to her...but maybe someone like Woolley or Carra could help deepen the NDP's bench.
