Congratulations Ward 3. You successfully kept the right person of our council. Personal agendas do not belong on our council when it goes against the betterment of our city.
Awesome! The two that do absolutely nothing for our end of town got voted in again! I'm super thrilled and excited to see what they will do this term... Maybe they will continue to ignore ward 5 and help focus on downtown some more... Absolutely useless people.
He didn't win because he made some poor choices including putting the provincial conservative party over our community when he financially backed Chris Scott who didn't live here and who we didn't know. And look how that turned out. That is a serious lapse in judgment.
It’s interesting and frustrating that so much discussion around municipal politics is around the issues of homelessness/drug abuse/etc. The people that seem to take most of our time and a lot of our resources often aren’t even ratepayers themselves. I know the problems need to be addressed, but it seems to me that more resources go into these problems, but they don’t seem to get any better.
Ppl in this city love to complain but rarely ever vote for change! They vote on gossip and opinion and then you have the others who won’t vote bc they say what’s the point …. This city will further decline and many of us won’t be surprised
Of course people vote on opinion. And many of us made our mayoral choice based on our well evidenced opinion that there were serious ethical issues with one of the mayoral candidates. Just because you weren't aware of the evidence doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
The number of votes cast increased by 54% from 2022 to 2026!!!!!Overall, voter turnout went up from 27% in 2022 to 37% in 2026. Still not as high as I would like to see it, but heading in the right direction.The higher voter turnout gives an increased legitimacy to the people who have been elected.Way to go Guelph!A big thank you to everyone who contributed to our local democracy by stepping up to run, volunteering or donating to campaigns!
No we aren't angry,, all you people wanted was more progressives on council , we could have had fiscal responsibility but no we have tax and spend this city will regret it in a few years
1. Time to get rid of the voting machines and start doing it how all other elections in Canada are done. 2. Very disappointed in the number of people that didn't come out and vote. Only 24,865 votes in a city of between 78000 - 72000 people. That's sad. That's why this city will never get a head.
I agree and have always said if you do not get out and vote then yo have no right to complain. But rest assured the 62% that didn't vote will be some of the biggest complainers.
