I don't know... it may be that Fred and Bobra both appeal to the older voters and the split happens with them.
That said, I can see one or both of them deciding it's not worth it. Fred looks tired (well, he always has, but seems especially so lately). Bratina hasn't seemed to gather the attention he craves by making his early unofficial announcement.
Loomis will probably need to hope the younger crowd turns up to vote. But municipal voter rates tend to trail provincial ones by a good margin, and the poor turnout for the latest Ontario election doesn't bode well (unless "folks" had just had enough of the middling government and have decided that their politics will be local).
We should see some more change around the council table though, aside from that stemming from the people who are not running again. It will be interesting to see if Whitehead blowing multiple gaskets gets him written off as a kook or wins praise from his ward's residents.
