the liberals are massively ahead in the polls, but dilbert has repeatedly refused to work them, anyways. this is legitimately not acceptable in canadian politics, but it sort of doesn't matter because the damage is so far gone. unfortunately, dilbert has actually run in the centre to centre left of the windsor mayoral field, which has tended to be pro-business. there hasn't been a good replacement option.
if people were naive, they shouldn't be, and any lingering confusion about the mayor's politics should no longer exist.
