People really should watch council meetings and see their government in action. I think if people did they would never, ever in their right mind vote for numbskulls like Sean Chu or blatantly manipulative toadies like Jeromy Farkas.
Like FlameOn says, when you see the guy in action it's flabbergasting that people would vote for Chu. He was easily the stupidest council member. He was unable to follow discussions, would veer off on nonsensical tangents, and had to have basic procedures explained and re-explained to him. Every meeting I ever watched or attended it was painfully obvious how profoundly Chu was out of his depth.
And I've said it before and I'll say it again: those who criticized Nenshi for being arrogant because "he was always acting like he's the smartest man in the room" should have watched a council meeting. You'd see
he was the smartest person in that room. I didn't always agree with his policy positions, but if I had to sit on the same council as Sean Chu I wouldn't have been able to contain my condescension either...
