Can everyone take a minute to appreciate the irony of a "NO party"

It's literally holding a party to celebrate saying "no" to a bigger, better party.

How much money does that "At 10" group have available to spend? Have they hired Russian bots to stack votes in these online surveys? Or have they actually paid to hack the counting machines and force numbers to pop up right at 10?

I am going to guess 55-45 NO. But... it's just a guess. I can't say I would be surprised by any outcome really. I really have no idea what to expect.

I hope that party didn’t cost anything. Enjoy your garden hose water and fresh air in the dark.

I would be happy with a 55-45 No result but I think they will fall along political lines.

Those that voted for Nenshi will likely vote yes.

i think you'd be surprised... i know lots of nenshi voters voting no to this and seeing Nenshi's position has definitely soured my perception of him.

He intertwines actually relevant material with the odd off-kilter tweet.
