How Ottawa city councillors seeking reëlection voted on contentious issues
Yesterday, CBC journalist Justin McElroy made a chart on Vancouver councillors contentious issue votes. This morning, CTV Ottawa’s Ted Raymond wrote a story on how Ottawa councillors voted on contentious issues. So we took CTV's data and combined it with CBC's graphic and voilá: How Ottawa city councillors seeking reëlection voted on contentious issues.
There are 23 current councillors in Ottawa – this chart only shows the votes of those who are running again in Oct. Catherine McKenney of course is running for mayor, not councillor.
Cathy Curry, Catherine Kitts, and Rawlson King were not elected in 2018 like the rest and arrived on council at different times, later. The blank spots are from their before times.
