Just back from the polling station, and it was great voting while holding my newborn son. Once again, democracy wins.

Hahah. They are both wearing purple! Darryl Janz and David Spence for the win!

I asked on Twitter - looks like they can continue campaigning until 8pm, just so long as it isn't within 100m radius of the polling station.

Nenshi.

Anyone in Ward 6 vote for Randy Royer simply because he looks like Robert Herjavec from the Dragons' Den?

I was in and out in 10 minutes at about 5pm. Glad I didn't put it off.

I've heard that she's not the most pleasant person to work with and wasn't well liked in the newsroom..

We let our staff out early to get to the polls. No brainer since most seemed to be voting for Nenshi!

It'll be interesting how the night ends up.......

We probably passed each other. I was in and out in 5 as there was no on in the B line.

Is there anywhere that I can watch election results online?
I realize CTV is starting right at 8 but rather than taking over the TV all night I'll let my roomies watch their movie and steal it at 10.

She apparently got the nickname queen Barb by most of the staff there.

With so many Nenshi voters on this forum, can the election be looked at like a CP Jihad if he wins?

Holy crap, what level is she?

Can she take down the Level 5 Chevy Chase in Community?

She'd have my vote if she had done that during her campaign.
