That's my initial reaction as well. In the past I've voted for councilors from virtually all political leanings as their independence meant something to me. Now they will easy to exclude from consideration if the party a single policy that is a non starter for me or if they are aligned with a provincial/federal party that is a disqualifier to me.
Party politics at a municipal level is going to be a major adjustment for me. I honestly don't know how it's going to affect my decision.
