I just walked away stunned. Serious... WTF!?!

Was she wearing a purple shirt?

Yeah, that definitely doesn't sound kosher. My old lady took my ballot to see that it had a signature on the front, and then stuffed it, but she didn't open it to see who I voted for.

Is it possible that you folded your ballots such that the initials of the volunteer who confirmed your identity couldn't be seen?

What? No way.
Report it, seriously. That person should never work an election again.

It's possible, but she looked directly at the side that I marked.

But it is; this isn't a curb or a street that the neighbors come together and use, and therefore typically would pay for. This is an important piece of prime real estate owned by the city that is unusable. This doesn't just benefit my condo association to have this properly landscaped, it benefits almost the entire surrounding community. Why does my condo board have to pay for it?

I wish I lived in Ward 7 just so I could vote for Druh to troll Calgary Sun readers.

Good. Ward 8 needs some cleanup. Woolley will fight to bring home more of our tax dollars back into that ward.

That's a very serious allegation, I'm not sure how municipal elections work legally, but in a federal election that could be a violation of your Charter right to vote freely and in private.

I've called and made my complaint. Not sure what will happen now. I was told they will look into it.

Probably execute the lady in a back alley, confiscate her home and seize all her belongings.

Hello Evan Woolley, you just gained my vote with one hour to spare.

Move to Edmonton, I hear they support public funding for the benefits of a limited few there.
