*blinks*....
You can't be bothered with local elections because you aren't happy with the election results?
Can you explain that to me.
I'm happy about how the region has turned out, and schoolboards appear to have rebuffed a hate campaign....but provincially, this is a disaster. Toronto and Ottawa both electing centre-right establishment pro-sprawl pro-car candidates. With the province backing these conservative mayors, the slow decline of these places will continue apace.
I mean, the election turnout reflects your position here, but it makes no sense. Toronto and Ottawa both had excellent progressive candidates with real plans for a better city and they were firmly rebuffed. The media deserves some blame, but honestly, the people of Ontario have earned this.
I'll be blunt, I am glad to have moved out of Ontario, but I'm not happy about it.
