This is turning out to be a great night!

Now just increase property taxes by 50% for homes over $1mil and we're golden.

Haha...KJJ and his crew feels that he should have gotten "at least like 13,000 votes or something like that!"

Curious if anyone voted for "Stan the Man" Waciak. I didn't expect a nickname to be listed on an official ballot

Yeah, why would anyone expect their most local and direct government to actually ‘engage’ with residents? What a silly thing to say.
Ward 9 constitutes probably one of the wider spreads in socioeconomic status and street level issues in Calgary.

My faith in Alberta is restored a little bit, at least in the cities. If the impossible happens and the UCP actually lose in 2 years without a vote split on the right then my faith will be fully replenished

Incredibly happy with the results so far! Calgary really taking out the trash largely across the board!

Farkas has thanked more people tonight than he's voted yes in his time as a councillor

No it doesn't. She wants the amenities, but what she's proposing in terms of engagement will make it tougher for the communities she'd represent to actually get them.
