City council

The city council elections were eventful. Redistricting reduced the number of wards to 44 creating several battles between incumbents such as Gloria Lindsay Luby against Mario Giansante, David Miller versus Bill Saundercook, and Milton Berger against Anne Johnston. For the most part, incumbents were re-elected: the major exception was Etobicoke where three incumbents -- Blake Kinahan, Elizabeth Brown, and Bruce Sinclair -- were defeated. Over all, the elections shifted the council somewhat to the left.
