Gonna be interesting to see the results. Not too sure if Nenshi will win. I hope so. If not, I'm fine with McIver winning. If Higgins somehow wins though, I might just cry to sleep.

I'm wondering if CTV's coverage might be a bit of overkill.

HAHA, look at the radio dude in the purple shirt on Shaw. Greasy hair, tattoo, and the shirt has obvious fold creases in it.

Nenshi is going to win because he is attracting voters who wouldn't normally vote. Mostly brown young folks.

He and the lady host are totally going to get it on after they push the suit dude out of the way.

Ha ha, even McIver's granddaughter is wearing purple.

I think we all can agree that no matter who wins, it's very encouraging to see the vote turnout this high, especially with the young folk. Could it top 50%??

(Although I will be super pissed if Higgins wins.)

Doug Vaessen just reported that at least one polling station ran out of mayoral ballots and had to have more sent out.

According to that blog, there was a large voter turn out. Regardless of who wins that inspires some pride in my city!

My guess is that McIver squeaks this one out, but I really hope I'm wrong. He's still got the old people vote and they're like a army of gremlins when it comes to elections. But.....go Nenshi!!!

Further proof that the city can't do anything right. Strong indication that Ric is done.

Ok there

what was wrong with my comments? I voted for Nenshi and I'm muslim too.

I was just wondering if he will be the first muslim mayor in Canada.
