My predictions for the race are as follows...
Mayor
1. Dave Bronconnier
2. Alnoor Kasam (a close second)
3. Sandy Jenkins
4. Jonathan Joseph (J.J.) Sundstrom
5. Elizabeth Kaur Fielding
6. Jeremy Zhao
7. Allan Foster
8. Harry Heck
9. David Bertram
I predict that the race between Bronconnier and Kasam will be close, with the other 7 candidates lagging far behind.
Alderman
Ward #1
1. Dale Hodges (I predict a clear victory by a landslide!)
2. Jennifer Banks
3. Normand Perault
Ward #2
1. Gord Lowe (Clear victory)
2. Biagio Macliocca
3. Daniel Del Re
4. Terry Avramenko
Ward #3
1. Jim Stevenson (Tight race perhaps going to a recount)
2. Helene Larocque (I predict an upset of the incumbant).
3. George Chalal
Ward #4
1. Bob Hawkesworth
2. Richard Evans
3. Bob Peterson
Ward #5
1. Ray Jones (By a significant margin)
2. Mohamed El-Rafih
Ward #6
1. Craig Burrows (I predict that this one will be very close - and will go to a recount).
2. James Donald Istvanffy
3. Joe Connelly
4. James Kohut
5. Rosemary Berglund
Rosemary Berglund withdrew from the race, although her name will still appear on the ballot. I predict that we will still see a lot of vote splitting, with a very low majority for Burrows.
Ward #7
1. Druh Farrell (Predict a clear victory)
2. Merle Terleski
3. Barry Eldridge
4. Jag Aithal
Ward #8
1. Madeline King (It will be close, perhaps going to a recount)
2. Steve Chapman
3. Lindsay Luhnau
4. John Marr
Ward #9
1. Joe Ceci (It will be a tight race with Koenig, possibly going to a recount)
2. Al Koenig
3, Stan Waciak
Ward #10
1. Andre Chabot (by a landslide)
2. Nargis Dossa
Ward #11
1. Brian Pincott (Clear victory)
2. James M. "Jim" Murray
3. Dave Matthews
4. Jim Rockwell
5. Evonne Whelan
This will be an interesting race to watch with the incumbant having stepped aside.
Ward #12
1. Ric McIver (By a landslide)
2. Nick Halfyard
I predict that Nick will get a significant number of protest votes.
Ward #13
Diane Marie Colley-Urquhart Acclaimed
Ward #14
Linda Fox-Mellway Acclaimed

A couple of thoughts:
1) Mayor's Race
- I'm going to guess that Bronco's margin of victory will be about 10% of popular vote.
2) Ward 4
- I'm going to hope that irony prevails and Evans comes in third.
3) Ward 8
- I think King will go down to defeat. I won't speculate on who might win, but I suspect King's fairly weak.
4) Ward 11
- *Sigh* - I'm afraid your right. Halfyard's campaign didn't even get moving, so aside from protest votes, most people will vote for McIver again.
Grog - On Ward 11, need I point out that it's not even a case of Halfyard's campaign not moving, but his platform is decidedly halfwitted with no conception of a balanced budget or more than a fuzzy idea of how things work at City Hall.
Regardless, I still hope that a lot of people vote for Halfyard if only to send a loud and clear message to McIver that he's not as popular as he would like to think.
