municipal election
saw an open contest for mayor due to the retirement of David Miller
after two terms.
In Ottawa, former MPP and Mayor Jim Watson ran against incumbent Larry O'Brien
, who was cleared of charges against him in 2009.
Some media, including a Sudbury Star
editorial which was republished in several other Sun Media
newspapers, noted the seeming emergence of a Tea Party
mentality in some parts of the province, with a number of self-styled "outsider" or populist
candidates — including Rob Ford
in Toronto, Joe Fontana
in London
, David D'Intino in St. Catharines, Rob Matheson in Kingston
, Ron Schinners in Sault Ste. Marie
and Marianne Matichuk
in Greater Sudbury — campaigning on platforms that traded heavily in mistrust of the existing municipal governments, while typically offering little to no concrete information on what their own political agendas would be if elected.
