On the positive side, it looks like Mike Layton won Ward 19 by a landslide, with Karen Sun in second place. Sean McCormick trailed.
On the negative side, Rob Fuckin' Ford.
But, on the positive side, I'll get more mileage out of this user icon.
On the negative side, I think Ford plans to start filling in the subway tunnels before the week is over.
On the positive side, a number of dead weights on the council are gone.
On the negative side, Elizabeth Moon is likely to be guest of honour at city hall.
On the positive side, I'm in a really cool ward that still believes in progressive politics (witness Mike Layton and Karen Sun!)
On the negative side, Rob Ford is going to sell Ward 19 to Buffalo to pay down the debt.
On the positive side, roads will be safer for cyclists.
On the negative side, it'll be because there'll be no cyclists.

On the positive side, there will be an exciting new cultural scene opening up as artists rise as one and discover the beauty and possibility of the city.
On the negative side, that city will be Ottawa.
On the positive site,
Interesting to ponder exactly what exactly Ford will attempt to cut in order to get rid of all the wasteful spending that he sees. Libraries? Daycare? Maintenance on infrastructure? Parks? Opposition awaits at every turn. Not to mention what'll happen when he starts going after the unions (except the police union, of course...which is the safest gig in town right now).
