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.

Gardi and Scott return as Ward 5 councillors for third term

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.

Rowswell didn't get shellacked as much as the people of "the Soo" did, I would think.

We're doomed four more years of that clown

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.

VIDEO: Watch Shoemaker's victory speech after election win

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.

@Warmer Herzog - here's a mature and constructive comment for you: (1/2)For years the ward 5's roads have become worse and worse (much like the rest of the town, however ward 5 on some streets has been worse than anywhere else in this city). Instead of fighting to have these roads fixed, we spent millions on bicycle lanes on roads that should never have had bicycle lanes. I'm sorry, but having bicycle lanes on truck routes is asinine. These two Councilors haven't had Ward 5s best interests in mind for a long time. They often tend to focus on downtown, rather than their own responsibilities. Due to this, they should have been voted out. Unfortunately people tend to vote what's familiar, and are too scared to vote for a proper change, like yourself when you continuosly state people without experience shouldn't be voted in as mayor, meanwhile we had one of the worst ensembles of city councilors and mayor in a long time.

Are you seriously saying that because homeless people don't pay taxes that they don't deserve municipal services?? Children don't pay taxes. Does that mean we should stop providing them with education and other services?

Bruni and Kinach back for Ward 4

Congratulations to those who were successful and all who put their names forward. It takes courage and commitment and shows there are many people who want the best for our community. Thank you to all.

Many of the chronic homeless people are addicts. There have always been addicts but not to the extent we see today. The key is in the criminal code. People trafficking are simply charged with moving a drug like fentaynal when they should be charged with attempted murder.
