Hard to imagine what's worse, though: Chapman holding influence over local government or over provincial government? It's a lose/lose situation.
Well even if she does win the seat she'd still be effectively powerless, the Ford government will still have a majority government so it's not like it would change what is currently happening with regards to the provincial policy, Ford will still push for the Bradford Bypass and the 413, make his developer buddies rich and everything he has done over the last year. As much as I hate Chapman I'd much rather her in the provincial government where she can't really do anything than have to deal with her comments at the local level. Hopefully if she does win it would mean a more progressive leader for Ward 9 which is something that is definitely needed.
