With the election upcoming this fall, I thought I would take a poll to see who your favourite members of council are? You can vote for more than one person.

[jeffwhit]

Proud to say that the Druh is my Alderbabe and I will be proudly voting for her this year.

[ExcaliburKid]

Haha wow. A poll on your fav local politician? Now ive seen everything :fruit: :koko:

[Calgarian]

I wonder if any of our Aldermen (or women) are reading this.

[You Need A Thneed]

Helene Laroque is in my ward. I'm not sure what she's done good or bad. You just about never hear from here in the media. But she is a rookie alderwoman too. I might vote for someone else, but none of the candidates up here really did much campagning last time, so I have no idea who's about what.

[Wooster]

Dale Hodges needs to GO! I should run against him

[The Kid]

Where was the "none of the above" option????

[Boris2k7]

My vote goes to teh Alderbabe :cool:

Extra point goes to Bronco for doing an okay job as well...

[YYCguys]

I'm surprised Dr. No has gotten any votes at all!!! Is he voting for himself on here? I'm not surprised, however, with the popularity of Druh. She should run for Mayor!

That's impossible, the guy never votes for anything! I bet he doesn't even vote for himself during Municipal elections...

Druh Farrell?

:yuck:

Crikey, I can't even stand her name. I think the only alderman/alderwoman I dislike more is Madeleine King. Flaky douchebaggery abound!


I voted McIver, just to piss you Farrell lovers off.

[jeffwhit]

^^thanks for making yourself so useful.

[Habanero]

I went with the alderbabe. She's the only one who seems to be looking at the big picture.

Seriously, if it weren't for her our condo towers would all still look Discovery Pointe. That is not even really much of an exaggeration. She has been fighting and fighting tirelessly for better planning and design standards and has almost single handedly altered the viewpoint of council towards one that is on balance sympathetic to more progressive urbanism. I hope she is our mayor one day.

If you ran in my ward, you'd get my vote. Madeleine King is okay but she pisses me off more often than not.

[93JC]

Don't care, don't even know where Discovery Pointe is.

That is not even really much of an exaggeration.

:shrug:

So... is that good?

BFD, don't care! :notacrook:

I hope she is our mayor one day.
:yuck: :yuck: :yuck:

[Boris2k7]

^ If you don't care, why do you even bother posting here? Honestly, get lost.

[Rob D]

I agree with you Boris. I think we have an immature little kid on the thread.

[Blue 24]

Madeleine King the one with the voice, what a pain to her her wine:hell:

[93JC]

:haha:


Ironically I'm an HVAC/Plumbing engineer who works on many of the buildings you guys cream your pants over. Many that you hate, too, come to think of it...

I'm come here for the sheer enjoyment of watching you guys moan and wail about such and such development for such and such reason. It's a hoot.

Think of it as an experiment: I'm trying to figure out what makes you fickle, effete architects tick. Consequent you should keep in mind I know very little about architectural design as such, just that at work I have to work around architects' work no matter how awful it "looks".

Your design complaints (what most of you seem to talk about) generally fly over my head, your reasoning making very little sense to me. As an example there was a discussion a while ago about some set of buildings proposed for Eau Claire: most of you complained about it's massing. I sniggered at the comments, 'cause I haven't a bloody clue what the hell 'massing' is, nor do I imagine that, had I known the term, I'd find it particularly consequential.

Druh Farrell? Still a flake, my friend. Not as bad as the douchebags on council like Diane Colley-Urquhart and Madeleine King, but a flake nonetheless. Don't take it particularly personal: I don't really like any of them anyway. :D

[93JC]

Madeleine King the one with the voice, what a pain to her her wine:hell:

I know! That woman has the single most patronizing, grating-to-the-ears voice I've ever heard.

Next to that cow on CNN Headline News, that is.

93JC, this forum is about skyscrapers so please show other forumers more respect.

[YYCguys]

I came to this forum last year with a huge interest in architecture, urban planning, etc and I can honestly say that I've learned a lot from some very knowledgeable people from this forum (just to name a few: Josh White, Boris, Rob D, and many more) as well as Druh from watching City Council meetings. I value the opinions and thoughts presented by all people serious about the direction and improvement of planning for the city. This site has me actually thinking about going back to school to take courses in urban planning! Thank you everyone for your valuable input!

:koko:

More respect? Did I call another member an "immature little kid"? Am I the one who said "get lost"?

Sorry, but not joining the circle-jerk over Druh "Alderbabe" (:uhh:) Farrell does not constitute a lack of respect for my fellow forumers.

Maybe the sarcasm over voting for Ric McIver didn't translate well.

[ctown.myth]

I honestly don't like any of them. They never replied to my letters. Except for the new ones, don't know them enough.

Whatever you do, watch out, he's a mod.

Just some advice.

I noticed that earlier, and promptly deleted the paragraph suggesting fornicating with himself. :D
