replies: text: Not yet, but it's not a prediction, it's what the boundary review committee has stated. --  Earl Andrew - talk 22:42, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: I'm pretty disappointed with the fact that English councils Trustees were mentionned, but not french. Come on, it's on the same page on the City's website.. Do things competly or don't do them at all.
:Calm down, the page is a work in progress. We're still missing the French public board. -- Earl Andrew - talk 21:11, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I know, cause I've started. But I mean, it's been up for weeks, and people have been putting priorities on fixing small stuff when this should be done. I'm perfectly calm, just a bit disappointed, that's all. --Deenoe 21:45, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm sorry, my interest in those boards isn't very high, but I was going to get around to it. Also, will you be marking the incumbents or shall I? -- Earl Andrew - talk 23:54, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The city's election page does not mark the incumbents, probably cause there is none : Which I understand, Interest in those jobs is pretty low. --Deenoe 00:24, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Nevermind, the city's doesnt show the incumbent for any person running. --Deenoe 00:26, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Question?  Why are there no links to any of the election websites of the incumbents, while all the new candidates do have that connection? (15 October 2006  20:20 EDT) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mogarch (talk • contribs) 
:Because most (if not all) incumbents have articles on Wikipedia. --Deenoe 00:30, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Election day 

message: He dropped out of the race a few days ago (November 10th?) citing unfair treatment by the media.  He threw his support behind O'Brien citing similar platforms. The necessary changes should be made. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.196.152.95 (talk • contribs) .
::Couldn't find anything on the news. Couldn't find anything on City of Ottawa. Couldn't find anything in his website. Plus I don't think a candidate can drop out after anticipation vote. --Deenoe 21:45, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I did hear someone tell me this today, for what it's worth. -- Earl Andrew - talk 04:01, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  From the way it was worded on the CJOH news it sounded like he was quitting the race but in actual fact he may have just thrown his support behind Larry O'Brien.Anweiler Backing O'Brien Not sure why he would do that but he's basically telling anyone who would vote for him to vote for O'Brien instead.--69.196.152.95 07:02, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I haven't heard that much Ottawa news in the past week; I'm genuinely curious how it is that O'Brien magically went from a nine-point deficit in a poll ending November 7 to winning this thing in just one week. Bearcat 02:26, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know, but I'm f*cking pissed! :( -- Earl Andrew - talk 03:02, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: WP is not a soapbox, but I forgive you, and I don't like that rule. I am extremely disappointed also. But anyways. Larry O'Brien was in last place back in the days Terry Kilrea was in the mayoral race. Then, Terry Kilrea quitted the race, and even if he gave his support to Chiarelli, people went behind O'Brien. O'Brien was then 3rd in a 3 horses race. He made sweet promises he wont be able to keep (Zero means zero, LRT, police officers) and flipflopped alot. That's why. Sad day for Ottawa. --Deenoe 03:42, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Good work everyone - guess there are a couple of new councillor articles to create (Shad Qadri and Steve Desroches at least). I just did the stub on Christine Leadman (W15/Kitchissippi). Dl2000 04:43, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
