I have absolutely nothing against him personally. I am a socialist by inclination, NDP supporter by default, and absolutely pissed. Giesbrecht and Robinson split the left vote in my ward and practically gave the seat to Steen. It did not help that Steen brought built in celebrity to the race.
Imaginary this (that's what Tae Bo master Billy Blanks says on my dvd)
Shaneen Robinson and Rod Giesbrecht confer after Shaneen wins and Rod loses the support of the NDP for the civic election. They decide it would be idiotic to split the left leaning vote in their ward and hand wrap this gift of a ward for Steen. Giesbrecht supports Robinson in her bid for city councillor. They pool their resources and Robinson handily takes the East Kildonan ward.
sigh
such a lovely story.
Ah well.
A whole area of the city can't go completely to shit in four years can it?
Maybe it would be easier to just move. Such a nice house too. We just ripped out all the carpet and redid all the original hardwood floors. Maybe we can find a nice couple of hockey fans to move in. They will feel right at home in my ward filled with hockey lovin' neighbours.
