Good article Alex. With a more conservative council and a re-elected strong mayor I think there are going to be a number of times over the next two years where we will miss this current council. (I'm still stewing that I am going to be represented by a man who likes throwing homeless people's sleeping bags into the river) I think it is fair to say they never had a strong bloc of 9 members on all progressive issues but they had enough to create compromises that were good for the city (even if it pissed some people off when it didn't go far enough). I am excited for Jason, Aisha and Robin but that is tempered by the fact that they are going to be working with Koski, Vetaw, Rainville, Palmisano and Goodman.
