I could not help myself but take a final look at the polls. Ootes wins by 20 votes. It was such a close race. Well on the positive side the Mayor has someone to blame for all of his shortcomings. 1127pm - maybe a recount?
At 1050pm Ootes was still losing by 183 votes with two polls unaccounted for. So it is hard to know the outcome at this point. I do not want to jinx anything now so will have to wait till morning for the outcome. Overall, what a lame election.
At 835pm Ootes is losing by 18 votes, or .17% of the vote. Could this be the end? CityTV for some reason has him as winning by a mile. 4 Pollling stations left.
858pm Ootes now losing by 180 votes.
936pm Ootes losing by 183 votes.
Giambrone returns as councillor.
Adam Vaughan elected in Olivia Chow's ward. While Ms.Chow was a great councillor she was a poor friend to cyclists. Good news that her hand picked candidate goes down in defeat.

I know somebody who spoke to her at length. She was on the ball for all of the answers. She had done her homework and knew the issues.
Holy crap! After waiting forever for the count from the last two polls, Ootes pulled ahead by 20 votes. Let's hope the recount is better. :(
Is Hamish allowed to give his votes away? ;)
Fuck!
double fuckedy fuck-fuck!
I'm left scratching my head...How did Miller get back in as mayor of Toronto?
At least the other minor candidates took a lot more than 20 votes, so I'm not totally aguilty for four more years. A major component of literature was the ongoing NDP support for the Front St. Extension - at least Ootes changed his mind to vote against it.
You're a total Super Hero Hamish!
Don't blame yourself. I had no idea
anyone running against Ootes even had a chance never mind win.
I am thankful for what you did and that others like Vaughan & Perks
got elected.
