Election Results Discussion

[tomh009]

I am a bit shocked at how well the old, white, male candidates are doing this evening.

If there were ever a time for younger or non-male or non-white candidates I thought this was the time.

I think we will actually end up with fewer women and non-white elected officials than the previous term. Not very reflective of our diverse community.

Kitchener looks to have five female councillors going forward (wards 4, 5, 8, 9 and 10). I think the outgoing council had only three. Paul Singh will again, I think, be the only non-white councillor.

Female majority on the Waterloo city council as well. So I think your shock was a little premature.
