I don't believe there were any.

What's severely lacking so far are female candidates. It's woeful.

As a resident of Ward 13, I think Dianne Colley-Urquhart should run for Mayor.

Well, they switched it to every 4 years, so there will now be 25% less municipal elections.

That's an improvement. I also saw Gord Lowe is gone, so I'm mildly positive about this election now.

I'm sure the President and the CEO both support DCU. You're correct though, I meant Cal due to his hilarious and telling comments regarding her.

That would be awesome. I would work really hard for her to run.

Looks like Lowe isn't running. In case anyone was curious.

Wouldn't that be 33% less?

I'd be surprised if Dale Hodges runs again in Ward 1. I thought he was going to pack it in before the last election. Lowe is retiring at 73 and I think Hodges is a little older than that. He's been an alderman since the Reagan administration. The first one.

There may not be a precedent for toppling incumbent mayors but the last two elections have shown that it is possible to defeat incumbent aldermen.

Races to watch for me are Wards 1, 2, 7, 8 (mostly because it's my ward, not because I think it will be close, unless something unexpected happens), and 11.

I'd like for wards 10 and 13 to be more interesting, but I don't think they will be.

If Farrell Pincott, Lowe and Hodges don't come back, I would be happy
