As far as I can tell there are only three choices in Ward 7.<br /><br /> After giving it a read I figured I might as well acquaint myself with whoever wrote the article. After reading Shane's profile, I immediately began to laugh. "I support common sense ideas like the Conservative Party of Canada." <br /><br />I wouldn't really call supporting torture common sense. Neither would I figure cutting corporate tax makes sense (small business tax cuts however, would make a lot more sense....). Also, Harper has done a simply wonderful job of ruining Canada's reputation on an international scale. But I don't know, maybe that is what passes for common sense now...<br /><br />All your post here has done is given me more proof that perhaps she is the right alderman for ward 7.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3053801176211107242.post-86298780326704046302010-10-14T11:02:01.477-06:002010-10-14T11:02:01.477-06:00Somebody should make a FOIPP request into her deal...Somebody should make a FOIPP request into her dealings with contractor tendors. She favors a few and they are not picked by her for their work diligence or low cost. Hmmm, something fishy. BTW, there is more to Calgary than Ward 2 and Memorial Drive is critical to many. Wait until emergency vehicles are held up because of the Sunday closures. Finally, how did she manage to get the pedestrian cross-walk, with vehicle stopping lights (unheard of for 4 lanes of traffic) along Memorial? It doesn’t meet the pedestrian/vehicle criteria. Don’t even get me started on the new bridge – how many do we need between Edmonton Trail and 10 St NW?

For your reading enjoyment...<br /> <br />As a resident of Glenbrook, I'm thinking of applying for a permit to close the intersection at Richmond Road and 37 Street SW for a festival. I think that our close proximity to the Glamorgan bakery (famous cheese buns & cinnamon rolls) is something to be celebrated. I figure that if people are stuck in traffic here at least, they can use that downtime to run in and stock up on their cheese buns. <br /> <br />Glenbrook is a bit too far from downtown to be able to easily walk or cycle. We in Glenbrook though, should also be able to flaunt our communitys' 'inner city central' location and wave it under other Calgarians' noses. The more that we can hold them up in traffic will prove our point even more. Seriously, the Bow River Flow festival has been a bad idea from the getgo. Misleading advertising here? I don't think so, but it is a very poorly designed advertising campaign when it irritates far more Calgarians than it succeeds to inspire, to the actual denigration of the supposed green cause. The persistence of one Calgary alderman despite all the hullabaloo never ceases to amaze me. Someone needs to help her, either with a hearing aid or with some basic common sense public relations advice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3053801176211107242.post-47795080749083982502010-03-07T17:27:20.117-07:002010-03-07T17:27:20.117-07:00That's not true!
