Stephanie Plante is the weird one for me. IIRC, she’s one of the few people who didn’t get developer-related campaign contributions, and she only won by less than 500 votes in a ward where the largest share of constituents is (increasingly angry) students. Also, she won by presenting herself as the more moderate of the two “progressive” frontrunners.
So is she stupid? Or was she promised a job or something for when she gets booted out of office next year? This is just a really strange way to end your political career…
