Sarah Doucette won for councillor in our local ward. She seems ok - it sounds like she’s mostly known for fighting to keep local public pools open - but what bothers me is that the people displaying her signs on their lawns were often displaying Rob Ford signs as well - I’m not sure which interpretation is more depressing - that many people can’t see the disconnect between voting in a tax-cuts mayor *and* a save-local-services councillor; or that they’re cynically trying to get their own neighbourhood a bigger slice of a smaller pie and the rest of the city can go to hell.
