    the winner will be a virtual photocopy. She won because of her platform, and the next person will too. Rich old pedestrians rule these neighborhoods.
    Druh is the reason I despise first past the post voting, she always had at least 3 candidates running against her so the “not druh” vote always lost. I have no doubt I won’t agree with her replacement but druh was basically invincible for 20 years and put forward the WORST ideas out of anyone. Fingers crossed, budgets get slashed so if we do get another idiot, there will be no money for them to spend.

    Yeah, can anyone answer the question on why Druh was always such an unpleasant hag?
    She seems to be so two-faced and only nice to those with similar views as her.
    Ever dealt with her in person? Holy crap she had no idea how to deal with people at all.

    Some of the ideas she had weren't great and catered too much to some of the more obnoxious NIMBYs in the city (which then empowered other annoying community associations to get in the way of progress). But when it comes to the city's budget, she fought against sprawl, inefficient development, the arena deal, the Olympics, and other big budget items that actually have the major effect on operating and capital spending. Some councilors are penny-wise, pound-foolish. Druh was the opposite.

    I don't know who this is. Pictures of her in glasses make her look super reasonable and intelligent. Definitely not at all like a bird that is a thorough 1.5 standard deviations below average bird intelligence. Also not like a bird that the other birds would ostracize or mock because she kept flying into visible objects.

    Even her glasses are pretentious. As happy as we are to hear this news believe it or not she actually has some fans in the city that think she's been great for this city.

    Peace bridge has proven to be worth the money...or well used at the very least.

    Edit: I believe she also backed bike lanes, anti sprawl, east village development. Basically a lot of urban revitalization projects in recent history. This is all pretty typical for an inner city councilor. There's a pretty strong consensus this is the way city/urban planning is going - higher density, less traffic, walking friendly. Like it or not her replacement will be pushing the mostly the same agenda.

    Worth is subjective, and the residual costs of the curved glass that keeps getting broken is ridiculously expensive

    I'd still rather spend $ fixing an important landmark than providing amenities to far flung neighborhoods like walden or evanston.

    A lot of the controversy around that bridge was linked to bad timing of it being approved (narrowly I might add) right before the 2008 recession and how Ferell and Bronconnier were rammed through this expensive designer bridge at a time when the economy was in the tank. I'm indifferent to the bridge as I don't use it but a lot of people people like it and I'm not one to poo poo on what makes others happy. My only beef was how poorly it was handled from beginning to end.

    This, it is a monument to poor procurement practice and the lack of any fiscal constraints from city council

    Her personal war on fluoride was borderline bizarre. You would think she lost a family member to fluoride poisoning or something as it was something Calgarians wanted yet she was hell bent on getting rid of it.

    This is welcome news.

    Here's a list of candidates and such. I hope Heather McRae - who was her former campaign manager doesn't carry the same fuckery as Druh otherwise....it'll be Druh 2.0.

    Yeah well I wonder how they get the soft flowing caramel inside the Caramilk bar but you don't see me making a god damn thread about it. Slap your wife Baygirl, straighten him out.
