I know a lot of business owners in ward 9 that really like Carra, I don't know if that means he prioritizes them over private citizens.

Yeah, I just noticed that. I didn't really pay much attention to her ward, figured she would win again. I clicked through to his website & saw his video featuring some real ick.

Farkas will be running for an MLA position in the UCP before the ink dries in the Calgary Sun in tomorrow’s edition.

Chu winning, time change down to a few thousand lead.
What started as a clean sweep is now looking like a wash.

Are you judging him by his concession speech? He was terrible in council.

Are there two guys named Chu on the ballot and they are just adding those votes together?

More good than bad in the results tonight, but yeah, it would have been the cherry on top to get rid of the utterly useless Chu from council. WTF Ward 4? DJ Kelly would have been a phenomenal member of council.

4 polls left for Kelly in Ward 4. Hope those folks who stayed in line to vote did it to get rid of Chu.

I'll say that I didn't vote for either Gondek or Farkas and I honestly think they are both awful forms of politicians. I never really felt that Gondek had much substance but she had the right talking points. She's smart but a bit of an empty suit.

I think we are kind of going on about different political sides but I don't know if that is addressing some of the issues. The current council has been talking about a whole host of issues and getting things resolved, on both sides. I don't know how successful they have been.
How many times have we pushed the can down the road on the downtown core and the tax issue? Something is going to give on that issue and it won't be the trying to get half pregnant.
Empty towers, promises of a huge swath of people living downtown to create life, massive tax increases on surrounding businesses and hoping for an oil rebound to create another 50k downtown jobs won't happen.
Like I said before who in Canada and Alberta has really addressed the issues with that? Has the UCP done anything? Has Nenshi and the current council? Have the feds generated tens of thousands of green jobs for us here in Calgary? What is happening there?
We may have a new mayor and many new council members but let's not pretend that these are easy issues to address. Positive campaigns be dammed, things are going to have to get real in Calgary and quick

Chu is a disgusting human being and I'm ####ing furious the real story didn't come out until today. No way he wins if this was in the news 2 weeks ago.
