I'm not in Calgary any longer, but if I was voting in this election, Jyoti Gondek would get my vote.

For the mayor seat: it's less about what they stand for and more about their ability to build consensus. Farkas is immediately disqualified in my mind because he doesn't know how to work with anyone. I've had the pleasure of talking to Gondek a couple of times, along with most of the current council – I was under strict orders from my wife to not engage with certain members (Chu, Carra). Jyoti has extensive education in relation to public policy, she's been engaged in civic issues even before running for council - she was on planning commission prior to running for councilor.

Farkas is pretty much universally hated by anyone related to the city, even developers don't like him.

Davison is kind of a dirtbag. He's the kind of guy who just screams politician.
