@carmienearing @GlobalCalgary Yes it was slow, but I didn't see anyone leaving or being turned away. This did not happen.

@GlobalCalgary You guys really need to check before posting crap like this.

Ward 7 should be interesting, Druh had a razor thin victory last year and blamed it on the new zone lines and how people "didn't know her". What a dumb-dumb. I regret my vote.

Sandra "Mayorjuana" Hunter in third place early.

Nenshi was in third when the polls started reporting three years ago.

UPDATE: @dougvaessen says voters who showed up JUST AFTER 8 pm at Sunnyside poll turned away. #YYC #yycvote
So basically, exactly what should have happened, happened.

Next up on Global we'll take you to a local safeway where a man was refused entry. He'll tell us how despite the fact that a sign clearly said they closed at 11pm, the man walked up to locked doors at 11:37pm. More after this.

Whatever faux melodrama it takes to get people to tune into them over others, in what's likely a pretty dull night.

Get the two guys from this thread to talk about the woman looking at the votes and they'll send Louie Koutis AND Gary Bobrovitz to investigate and break into the results with the US style conspiracies.

This lady interviewing Jon Lord is hilarious. "How are you? Good! Me too!"

Like Springfield was?

At municipal/rural levels, basing all policies/ideas on a highly relate-able Simpsons/Seinfeld pop culture references-type platform, may get more votes than one would think.

Results starting to come in. Way too early to even mention any of the councilor or trustee results as the numbers are really small at this point.

Nenshi sitting at about 60 percent in the early stages though.
