One can hope that this close call at least humbles Nenshi and makes him a little more understanding of a city where nearly half the citizens don't support him.
It's always hard to beat an incumbent but I thought Smith would have made a better showing in the 'burbs.
His Victory/Acceptance Speech just now had him saying that; he isn't going to change, because those who voted for him, like him just the way he is.Quote:

He is only 1 vote. This council has way more UCP influence than last. It won't be a easy ride for him. Especially when UCP retake the province in 2019.Quote:

That’s probably the worst comparison one can make with Nenshi.Quote:

Yes, but you'll have to wait until March.Quote:

Well this beyond poll certainly didn't reflect the real thing.
If nenshi would have lost, I was looking forward to his ensuing diabolical tirade :)
Well anyway, if you think he's fat now...
As someone who hates first past the post voting (and non-term limit elected roles to a lesser extent), this election has to be one of the most frustrating in memory. I don’t think anyone can be happy with all incumbents getting reelected, despite hating druh I still am amazed sutherland, chu, carra, etc. Managed to get back in with significant numbers.
Unfortunately this election just seems to reinforce the status quo, I don’t think we will see our electoral system overhauled any time soon. I have my doubts there will even be much blowback from the ballot shortage. Look at how council handled the playground zone snafu and it gives you an idea of what will come, a talking to in front of council, a slap on the wrist, and business as usual.
This is terrible.
I guess hipsters do vote.
