About Me
- daveberta
- Dave Cournoyer began blogging in 2005 while studying Political Science at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. In 2006, he was elected Vice-President (External) his Students’ Union and served as Chair of the Council of Alberta University Students until 2007. Since then, he has worked as Communication Coordinator for Alberta’s official opposition party and for various advocacy and public policy groups. As well as writing on this blog, Dave also occasionally writes for publications such as SEE Magazine.
Well, it's probably gerrymandered to protect incumbents from having to run against one another, but that's just an uninformed, cynical guess.
ReplyDeleteIs the southern boundary of Ward 8 Whyte Avenue? That's a mistake.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteAh, the doc is up on the city's website now:
