Does the mayor have any real power compared to that of Alderman or is it more of a ego thing. Yes they represent us to the province and the feds but the agenda they put forth is set by council.
So shouldn't some of the lesser candidates and even many of the former Aldermen who won't win have ran as Aldermen instead to have their agenda and vision put in to place. What makes someone who isn't polling top 5 at the start of a campaign run? When they would likely have a better chance of becoming an Alderman.
