Is Ward G too close to call or something?
batty and nichol out? you are crazy dude.
I'm really not familiar enough with the Ward G race or candidates to call it.
Do you have predictions for Ward G?
Any other predictions?
Dave--this looks more like the council you want than the council we're going to get. Not that I too wouldn't love to see the election turn out the way you write here, but...
Thats a safe prediction for Ward A since Bev is in by acclimation
Low turn out will hurt some of the incumbents.
I'm sorry that I don't have any predictions. I find the non-party slate-ness of municipal elections makes the races too messy for that.
I only singled out G because it was the only one absent as far as I can tell, and because I live there. My hope is that Marlene Spencer wins, because of the little I heard about the candidates, she was the only one opposed to P3s, but I have no idea whether my hopes will be borne out.
Yes... MORE communists on council, just what we need!
No wonder people don't take Edmonton seriously...
Because it has people who make comments like that?
Respect your opinions Dave, but that's the council you want, not a prediction. Especially in 4 and 5.
I'm headed off to vote right now in fact in ward 3 to make sure someone with Voogd's resume doesn't make it into civic government.
Dave,
Ward G looks like a two-horse race between George Rice and Marlene Spenser, judging by signs and flyers alone.
Rice's website is a little vague on his platform, but he has good name-recognition as a long time principal.
Spencer is a newcomer to the school board (decades of experience in education though) but seems to have some concrete ideas.
I would guess Rice has a bit of an edge, but school closure is a hot button issue in this ward and Dr. Spencer might just pull off a minor upset.
