Yes, do tell!!!
Did he blame his loss on Anthony Reinhart pointing out the shady election parties scheduled for his establishment or is this something new?
I would have been shocked if he won. Non-residents are generally a tougher sell, and in general the voting demographics are home-owners and more-permanent-than-student-residents, both of whom are less likely to be attracted to voting for a bar owner compared to other businesses. Add to that his non-appearance to the in-person debate -- which was packed full -- and I would have been shocked if he had placed any higher than he did.
On another fringe-candidate-note: did anyone else find out that the other male Waterloo Mayoral candidate had a private twitter account with a less professional headshot and only 4 followers? When I accidentally found it I tried to figure out a way to get any information but the best I could find was some mentions by other people adding to my suspicions that he comes from the right-wing, possibly alt-right side of the political spectrum. I couldn't' decide whether to bring up the account during the election, but since I didn't think he had a chance of winning I decided not to bother.
