Seems a touch dramatic considering the stark differences between the two situations, but do you. We are in a thread dedicated to Sean Chu being an ignorant moron, so I guess Evan said the quiet part loud? Oops?

Yes, but if we take this straightforward interpretation, how can we wax poetic on anti-democratic threats of uhh... physically pushing each developer individually, I guess?
Nay, we must believe Woolley intends this violence!
All this aside, seems like it's probably worth noting that some developers are donating to a man who seems to understand literally no issue council faces at any given time, needs his hand held constantly, and when he does speak either says something which is incomprehensibly stupid, or is an outright attack on at-risk Calgarians?
Perhaps the answer is just to remove donations, which are going to be more or less self-interest based instead of based on capabilities (in Chu's case, 100% the former) from city politics entirely?
