I like both Waite and Lalonde, and I think ultimately I'll probably vote for Waite as I think she's got a little more electability (I've seen more private-property signs up for her than anyone other than McRae/Wong), and more real-world experience (compared to Lalonde's primarily academic background). I'd love to see either of those candidates win though.
I expect it'll be McRae. Personally I can't help being cynical of political-consultants-turned-politicians, but I think she's effectively positioning herself in the Druh lane.
I'd also encourage Ward 6/7 folks to consider
Bolger for school trustee. Last time she was runner-up to the slate candidate who screwed the wards over by stepping down mid-term. Bolger has a background as a parent, educator, and instructor of education at the U of C and is adamantly opposed to the new cirriculum.
