Is it a recent trend in journalism to not offer any context or has this been going on for a while?

What is the point of telling us about the record if you don't at least mention the previous record holder?

In this case, it's probably Mel Lastman in 2000 with 483277 votes.

God, why couldn't this be Ottawa too for once :(

And probably Canadian election history too.
