Ward 4 was voting for Chu based on his track record before the publication ban was lifted. For people to be complaining about his public 2011 tweets is kind of ridiculous. This isn’t new. It’s why this thread exists. They want causally racist, casually homophobic Chu. Apparently the line in ward 4 is alleged sex offender and even then a good portion of the ward doesn’t care

He says what he posted is not who he is now but he ran for councillor and lost in Ward 4 in 2010 and, at the same time, Calgary elected a Muslim mayor. Pretty terrible stuff from a generally terrible person.
