Who, only when stepping aside, suddenly discovers how much they love their ward and how much unfinished work they still have at city council.

Who would have finished that work if the newer candidate had not stepped forward?

The withdrawal seems too much of a chummy “I’ll scratch yours if you scratch mine” collusion between two seasoned local politicians.

I don’t think either of them emerges from this covered in laurels.

While profuse in praise of each other, I also note neither of them mentions fellow Liberal Ms. Manaa.

I too would like to hear more of her.

Something doesn’t sit right with me how this all went down with the joint statement which didn’t even mention their other fellow Liberal potential nominee. Frankly I don’t understand why a joint statement was necessary at all. Bad optics IMO.
