Which is the polar opposite of someone like Chandler who thinks he'll be able to force things through council to get his way (as he said in one of the ward 12 debates).
He also listens to the community, he added an exit to 88th from Mahagony to his platform which has been a hot button issue lately in the community.

No kidding. If you asked me a year ago to describe where she sit's ideologically I'd probably say slightly center-right... the kind of Person who thought Jim Prentice was the bee's knees of politicians.

Now she's definitely consolidating the "progressive" vote under her banner but that's more just a function of who she's running against. She's a centrist through and through.

I managed to see the tweet but the CBC link was already dead. Guess the story was pulled?

EDIT: Posted above

In the words of Bunk: This seems sub-optimal for his re-election bid.

The material that was referenced in this tweet came from Law Enforcement Review Board Decision No. 014-99 for anyone that is interested in reading through them.

This used to be available on CanLII but has now subsequently been removed.

me: "well that could potentially mean something different"

first line of article: "Chu says he did not know the girl was underage when he met her in 1997"

me: "nope, still same"

Yeah, he's not even denying contact, just that he didn't know that she was 16.

DUDE. YOU WERE A 34 YEAR OLD POLICE OFFICER. IN WHAT WORLD IS IT OKAY FOR A POLICE OFFICER TO SEXUALLY TOUCH A GIRL OR A WOMAN OF ANY AGE?

Even Alabama -- ALABAMA -- voted against a conservative candidate once it was revealed he had a relationship with an underage teenage girl. If Ward 4 re-elects Chu on Monday, Alberta voters will officially be worse than Alabama.

Yup, age is irrelevant here.

He openly admits to doing an inappropriate thing.

Says the appeal should be thrown out, because “there were no witnesses”.

Gross.
