One also hopes that those councillors departing involuntarily will be co-operative with those who've so recently ended their political sinecures.
It will be particularly galling for defeated councillor Sherene Shaw to relinquish a choice and spaciuos corner office to Mike Del Grande after a campaign that featured some nasty mudslinging, including Del Grande's characterization of Shaw as "foreign representation."
(Del Grande insists he was referring to Shaw's living outside the ward, not her overseas birth.)

Thank you Star for that wonderful report (and fair and balanced rebuttal against the accusation of racism. Now call this musings rather than an unfair portrait by a massive media company, but would the Star be carrying this on as much if it wasn't a middle age white male who defeated a visible minority immigrant woman? Just musing as I said...). One can't help but wonder what, if any other supposed "mudslinging" was involved in the election. And as has been pointed out many times before, (and would make sense to anyone the least bit familiar with the area), what good would a flyer attacking a non-white candidate be in an area where white people make up a small minority? Really!? Does logic never come into play here?
*Sigh* Though there's no real reason for me to repeat it other than it makes me feel somewhat better about the situation, here's my famous quote once again: Guilty until proven no one cares anymore.
