My final comments on the campaign. I love this City. I was born here, went to school here, raised a family here and was blessed to serve this community. It's the people that make this City the envy of all others. That's why I am convinced Ottawa has a very bright future ahead.

Congrats to mayor-elect @_MarkSutcliffe. You ran a great campaign @cmckenney. I hope we haven't seen the last of you in politics. All the best to all the winners tonight and to those brave enough to put their name on the ballot.

A few thoughts going into the election. Settle in, this is a long thread: The Ottawa Citizen in one breath dismisses my candidacy, reasoning that our austerity message didn't catch on in this government town. In another breath it warns of a coming recession. 1/13

freezing bus fares for four years that will cost the treasury more than $25 million in lost revenue to name just a few financial foibles that will put the City into an even deeper financial crisis. 12/13

When the voters of Ottawa go to mark their ballot, please remember that I have made only one financial promise: I will not raise taxes in the first year of my term to give my administration the time to put this City back on a solid financial footing. 13/13
