Guess people want to waste another half billion of our money on the damn Lansdown. So sad.

Pathetic that only 36% give a fuck enough to even vote. No wonder this city is going to shit.

I expected more incumbents to lose their seats.

The city isn't in great shape: transit is worse than it was before the O-Train, property taxes are apparently high relative to other municipalities, housing remains expensive af.

I would have expected Ottawa voters to turf a few more of their city councillors in the expectation that we need something better. For what it's worth, 55% didn't vote for Sutcliffe, which sort of makes sense. But only Hubley lost his seat? I'm surprised.

In Hamilton, most got turfed.

But, only 147,196 out of 465,861 eligible voted. The lower the voter turnout, the higher the percentage votes are cast for Right Wing Christian Fascists. My new councilor said he has no party affiliation but somehow forgot he ran for Ford's PCs in the last provincial election.

Ottawa voting was 314,393 out of 868,248 eligible voters casting a ballot.

Given the state of the economy, I think many people were complacent (to vote or not vote as it were) enough to stick with the incumbents ("the devil you know..."), unfortunately.

On a side note, I am happy for the residents of Kanata South. (speaking as someone who used to work with the now former Councillor)

I called Sutcliffe winning two months ago. Leiper could have fixed that, but that would have required transparency. Apparently we only get that after the election.
