The former Mayor did not win the office because of Mr.Kean's candidacy. Votes cast on the east side of town put her ahead .
Residents in the neighbourhood of the hydro corridor expected transmission lines to be buried. It was never spoken of again.
Councillors Gaertner and Gallo were elected despite their association with Mormac/ They both had strengths they didn't realise.
Voters looked down the list of new candidates, made a selection , and voted the least unfavourable of the previous council .

On the question of respect. It's true, like trust it must be earned. It must also be exchanged.

We have been in a deficit for the last several years. We are still climbing out of that, hand over fist.
The antidote for rudeness is civility.
Not more rudeness.
