Well, it's probably gerrymandered to protect incumbents from having to run against one another, but that's just an uninformed, cynical guess.
Is the southern boundary of Ward 8 Whyte Avenue? That's a mistake.
I was wrong:

Idealism 1, Cynicism 0.
Whyte Ave is only the border of ward 8 east of 104 Street; west of 104 Street, the boundary is 70/72/71 Aves (which mean it includes Belgravia, McKernan, and Queen Alex). The southern bits of Whyte east of 104 aren't very much like the southern bits west of 104, character-wise, so I think the division makes sense.
