    Votey Ryan Osterberg? Seriously? I went to university with him, and suffice to say, I wouldn't want him making decisions in my government...

    That mayorship race was close.

    Osterberg was never a consideration for me but I guess that's for the best in light of what your experience with him.

    The Mayor race in Sherwood Park was odd and maybe that's why it was a tight vote. There are no burning issues; Strathcona County is committed to a long term transit plan (local and with neighbouring Edmonton), the hospital is being built (however slowly isn't the fault of the mayor) and development happening with the ring road or subdivisions are well under way. The mayor needs to keep things on track and that's it. Osinchuk has done no wrong and Carr wasn't promising anything elaborate so it really was a coin toss between the two and the results reflect that.

    This is unlike the results in Edmonton or Calgary where the winners won handsomely (60 and 70% respectively). Whatever happens in Edmonton will have more of an impact to Sherwood Park than the other way around.
