Ottawa residents were so impressed with their representation in the last Ontario government that they sent nearly all of their political representatives back to Queens Park in Thursday’s provincial election, which gave Progressive Conservative leader Doug Ford a second consecutive majority government.

But there were two upheavals in Ottawa, with Jeremy Roberts failing to keep Ottawa West-Nepian for the computers in a rematch with NDP’s Chandra Pasma, who was named MPP in another race.
In Glengarry-Prescott-Russell, Stefan Sarazin of the PC took over from liberal Amanda Simard. The three most intriguing rides in and around the city were Ottawa West-Nepean, Glengarry-Prescott-Russell and Ottawa Center.
In any case, the Liberals failed to retain the seat or return.
Roberts won Ottawa West-Nepean with only 175 votes ahead of Pasma in 2018. Once again, it was a PC battle against the NDP in riding, with liberal Sam Bhalasar not a threat in third place.
Glengarry-Prescott-Russell was a serious loss to the Liberals, but a computer victory should not be shocking. Simard filmed riding in 2018 as a Tory before moving to the Liberals during his tenure. Personal computers sent a prominent local politician to Sarazin to regain his seat. He is the mayor of Alfred and Plantagenet.

The Ottawa Center had some intrigue before the campaign, as it was a ride the Liberals were itching to regain after losing to Joel Harden of the NDP in 2018, but on Tuesday night there was no doubt that Harden still had strong control over the center. the city. He skillfully defeated Katie Gibbs of the Liberals, as poll results continued to appear after 11 p.m.

Campaigns in the province did not place much emphasis on Ottawa, and many city riders have a strong history of choosing the same parties in every election.
As the Ontario election continued to publish results in the press, the political picture became increasingly secure in most local riding.
South Ottawa, Ottawa-Vanier, Orleans were well on their way to choosing their Liberal candidates, John Fraser, Lucille Collard and Stephen Blaise, respectively, who headed back to Queens Park.

And happy to retain their PC representation were voters in Nepian, Carlton, Kanata-Carlton, with Lisa McLeod, Goldie Gamari and Merily Fullerton retaining those seats, respectively.
Ford, who will return as prime minister, passed through Ottawa only once during the campaign to highlight his party’s plan to widen Highway 417 through Ottawa’s West Nepian.

NDP leader Andrea Horvat, who resigned as leader on Thursday night, has repeatedly appeared in Ottawa, especially in support of her candidate for Western Nepia in Ottawa, Pasma.
Liberal Stephen Del Duca, who failed to win his own ride and also resigned as leader, had more than one event in Ottawa and most recently toured storm-torn areas east of the city.

There was not a single issue that emerged as a lightning rod for debate during the campaign.
As usual, local politicians wanted to know if provincial candidates would support the payment to further expand Ottawa’s LRT system to Kanata and Stitsville, although the city itself still doesn’t know for sure how much it will cost.
The question of LRT arose when a provincial investigation was preparing to investigate the first phase of the Confederate line.
Another major event in Ottawa this year, the occupation of the convoy in the city center, did not take place as a major point of discussion, even when the occupiers protested against the COVID-19 mandates, partly created by the provincial government.

Liberals and the NDP forced Ford not to appear in Ottawa as prime minister during the occupation.
The people of Ottawa had something more intense in their minds later in the provincial campaign. The May 21 storm, which cut off power to 180,000 Hydro Ottawa customers and thousands of other Ottawa residents on Hydro One’s distribution network, diverted the city’s attention from the provincial campaign.
However, this gave candidates the opportunity to talk about climate change mitigation and protect Ontario residents from life-changing weather.
The damage from the storm also forced the Ontario election to move several polling stations to Ottawa on Thursday.
