Today is March 14. It is way too early to define the race as strictly between McHattie and Eisenberger. There is a lot of anti-incumbant sentiment pent up among voters, and both these candidates have too much history associated with over a decade of council ineffectiveness. At any rate, the results of a spring provincial election is likely to remove LRT as a deciding factor in the upcoming fall election. One way or another, the LRT question will be put to rest after the provincial vote.

I have a feeling a few more faces will pop up now that the incumbant has stepped aside. The timing is right for a dark horse to charge into the fray. The mayoral race is going to get a whole lot more interesting.
