While it looks like there are a lot of outstanding polls left to count, they won't likely account for very many new votes for each ward.

Good point - thanks for that reminder. I am cautiously optimistic. She seems very intelligent and will be a nice change after quite a few years of Ward Sutherland and then Sonya Sharp.
Admission: I voted for Sharp as councillor in Ward 1 because she positioned herself as a bit of a centrist. I did come to regret my choice as she definitely put local representation on the backburner and was clearly jockeying for the mayor's seat as much as two years ago, and arguably for most of her term. As the Communities First party began to take shape, I regretted it even more.
Joey Nowak would potentially cancel out a lot of my regret.
