This warning at the top of story made it seem there would be a lot more swearing than what I found, slightly disappointed by that
[Content warning: This story contains far more swearing than you would expect in an article about municipal governance.]
It's a bizarre #### show, but as mentioned at the end of the article, the city continues on.
I remember being at a sizable all-candidates forum before the election and when Hamer-Jackson got up to speak his piece I had no idea who he was, and he was obviously nervous and self-conscious in front of a well-connected and well-heeled group of the city's top business people. He bumbled some nonsense and I disregarded it as just another municipal fringe candidate.
A few days later he was mayor.

Hopefully he will be a memory soon, never to be heard from again.
