Chu just lost 400 votes! Two more of those and he’s gone!

Looks like La_Flames_Fan is going to round some signatures for the recall route. If you’re in Ward 4, maybe see what you can do.

Regarding the Edmonton election:

Looks like YEG is going to elect Gene Principe's wife.

Is anyone else bothered by the Global feed and the interlaced graphics on their animations? I'm assuming it's rendered for cable/OTA but it looks pretty bad on YouTube.

On CTV, they just said that one of the 2 polls still to come in Ward 4 is in Kelly's home neighbourhood. Let's hope that brings good news.

Global looks okay. I am bothered by how they don’t have a proper bottom scroll with the results.

I want Chu to lose but ctv just interviewed DJ and I was thoroughly unimpressed. He seemed kinda spineless and said nothing of substance.

Then again he’s not Sean Chu the wannabe pedo so I have nothing but respect for the man.

Time change back up to an almost 10k lead for no though. That’s a positive.

The only requirements for being an elected official in Alberta at a municipal level appear to be 18+, Canadian citizen, 6 months of residency and not owing the municipality more than $500, being an auditor of the municipality or having been convicted of an offense against the elections act in the last 10 years.

Winston Heights IIRC. New to Ward 4, and the community that encouraged Kelly to run against Chu.

Edit: former Winston Heights community association president as well.

This is good news. Hope it’s enough.

<< fingers crossed >>

So great to see Gondek win over Farkas! She will be a breath of fresh air in the Calgary municipal politics.

Very surprised to see DCU losing. I guess her cowardly stance on the Shawnee Slopes fiasco is finally getting back at her.

Chu should thank his lucky star for the report not surfacing a few days earlier.
(... unlike Magliocca).

Did anybody see Rempel actually release this statement on Friday? Would have thought she’d plaster it everywhere if she did.

I get all that but my question is on him being a cop. If he is as bad as people claim how does he get hired. And could be wrong but I’m sure he played that up when he was elected initially.

I didn’t see anything. The political folk I follow on twitter would have been all over that and from what I can tell it was crickets.

Her website has a statement dated the 15th.

Nothing on her Twitter feed (unlike the one she just released).

Edit: coincidence she didn’t tweet it until now, after polls have closed?
