He also received an "F" grade from the idiots running the phony CivicCamp site. That's the best possible endorsement one can receive in my opinion!

Even under the best of consciences, how could anyone give Bob Ross an F? That man is an American treasure.

Having met and talked with Hard Poo man a few times, he's an awesome guy, really cares about his ward and the city. Great guy to support, much better than Joe Connelly who is an utter dufus.

Anyone know what grade Connelly received? I'd check myself but don't want to give those idiots any hits. I have a feeling he was "top of the class".

I can give you "a" answer but you wouldn't like it . . .

This Jon Lord character seems to be a lot of talk. Also not sure if he fully understands what it takes to run a city.

Reading the herald blog about the live debate: Jon Lord is an idiot
EDIT: great line from JL1st:
I started a crusade on secondary suites in the 90's - worried about all the teenagers that would soon be moving out and needed affordable housing.

Wow.
"My opponent needs to tone down the rhetoric, stop demonizing our citizens, pitting them against each other, and start working on solutions not accusations." - Jon Lord.

Lord has done too much negative campaigning in this election as a whole, and it came out in this online debate.
It seems to me that he's made his opinion on a few items solely so that they are contrary to the existing mayor (in order to appeal to voters that don't like the current mayor). However, for some of these things, he (as a former alderman), should really know better.
Of course, being contrary may help his vote count, but hurts his credibility in being able to do the job - in my eyes.

Nenshi put Lord in his place when he asked him to provide where exactly tens of millions have been wasted. Lord deflected, then Nenshi asked again, and Lord said it was in opportunity cost, not anything actually tangible.
Funny stuff.
I will also not agree with Lord on the public art funding. I'm sorry, but things don't always have to be local. I fully welcome international art submissions. That type of contribution to the cultural fabric of the city is what makes cities great - like New York, Melbourne, Tokyo, etc. We're not Red Deer anymore.

This is one example of what I just mentioned. Lord knows (should know at least, he's a smart guy) that the city consults artists for all over, picking local ones sometimes, and non-local ones sometimes - just as it should be.

Yeah, there's something inherently flawed in saying that good art can/should only come from Calgary. Isn't half our city population from Ontario and the Maritimes anyways?

Anyone who criticizes or questions Nenshi should be shamed publicly.
In the town square.
Preferably Olympic Plaza.

Like most others here, I'm not surprised Cory Morgan is pulling this stunt but I once thought Jane was a little cleaner in her politics. Guess not.
And then there is this: http://www.corymorgan.ca/ (to go along with the fake Twitter account)
I am sort of torn between "turnabout is fair play" and the irony of someone being so upset by what the Morgans have done that they will do the same thing.

Catching up on this thread a little late, but my opinion needs to be recorded:
Jane and Cory Morgan, you are scum.
