Pardon my ignorance, but “no” is no to using DST year round?

Uneducated? You'd have to have brain made of cooked lentils to watch 5 minutes of Chu do anything and think he is remotely capable of being in such an important position.

Because the record was sealed how many years ago? Not much you can do about a gag order.

No is to keep things as is. Yes is to stop changing clocks and stay on DST.

If Chu did the right thing and resigned (I know, he won't), could they just give the ward to Kelly or would there have to be a by-election?

The publication ban was lifted on Friday, no? Why not earlier? CBC claim they had the story a week earlier but a judge refused to lift the publication ban before Friday.

There would have to be another election in Ward 4.

I voted for Close. I knew Sellen was part of that stupid slate of candidates they had going, so wouldnt be voting for her. The mask and Chandler things make her look even worse.

No chance that Chu resigns, none of this is new to him.

It's be the greatest of ironies if Jason Kenney's recall legislation was used to oust Chu.

Didn’t people on here float he was borderline illiterate? I don’t care your views on the police but that seems like a DQ on the application no?

Kenny’s not proclaiming it because it would be to ironic when it’s used to oust Kenny.

He literally had UCP cabinet minister Tyler Shandro campaigning for him.

Turnout seems low? Currently at 361k votes for mayor and I would assume almost everyone voted for mayor. I don't have the exact voting population, but I'd guess it's around 900k - 1M or so? Those numbers don't seem to work in my head though.
