Election 2022 Results

 I did not get the "W".

The result is offset by the 716 votes that I did get. Thanks to those voters. ...smart.

If the voters are informed they elect the best candidate. If the best candidate is elected we all get the best council. If we get the best council then we get a better Ottawa. In that case we all win.

Over the past 2 months there were 3000 views of my blog. 500 views alone on election day. 

In addition to CTV video, VC's job interview with 250 views, and citizen and cbc's questionnaires there were 850 views of my debate with the incumbent.

Are the voters informed?

Let us hope and pray they are.

Ward 13 Debate

 King and I square off and I hold him to account for his resignation from the OPS board.

I also point out that we must stop ghetto izing our affordable housing units and take better care of the inventory...he sat on the OCH board.

Regarding the Police Services matter: CBC reported as follows:

Coun. Rawlson King, council's first and only Black member and the police service's co-chair of the community equity council, made it clear he stood with Deans. He defended the police services board, saying it had asked the "toughest questions" during three weeks of disruptive protest. 

King announced his own resignation during the council meeting. His announcement stymied his colleagues' plan to overhaul the board with King playing a "key role" in consulting with communities who have been "over-policed."

Many councillors pleaded with King to stay on the board. Coun. Mathieu Fleury, close to tears, told King he's been "the moral leader" of council. 

King refused, and will be replaced by Coun. Jeff Leiper.

Ward 13 Rideau Rockcliffe civic engagement is too low

As reflected by the number of views of the Rogers debate video...available on this site and YouTube, Ward 13 has the least engaged voters. 

As of 20221017 there were 630 debate views (the lowest level of voter engagement in the city - about 2% of the electorate) The highest Knoxville Merivale is eight times higher.  The recent advanced polls indicated that 2682 voted in Ward 13. As of the date of the last advanced poll there had been 2080 views of this blog (the one you are reading). It is therefore possible that voters have tried to inform themselves.

The number of electors is predicted to be about 30% of those actually eligible to vote.

At 20221011 there were only 482 views by the 28,000 electors. It is pretty appalling. The most engaged is Ward 9 with over 3,300 for the same period.
