This is already after the fact of course as the last Vancouver munical election was held on October 15, 2022. But were you satisfied and/or surprised with the results in that opposition leader Ken Sim won by a landslide over incumbent Kennedy Stewart?
Four years ago on October 20, 2018 Kennedy Stewart barely won over Ken Smith by popular vote of 49,705 to 48,748. But four years later apparently Vancouverites are not happy at Kennedy Stewart so that's why Ken Sim won by a landslide of 85,732 to 49,593 and winning all 8 seats and became the first to defeat a sitting mayor of Vancouver since 1980.
Not too surprising but disappointing was the low voter turnout of 36.3%.
