Results hurt federal leaders
Continued from page 1
Greg Hetherington, who ran in C-K–L on Sept. 20 for the Liberal Party, losing to incumbent Dave Epp of the Conservatives, agreed. “I think the Liberal Party and the NDP play well together,” he said on how work can get done by a
minority government. “However, the big question will be leadership for almost all parties. There is a possible leadership question in the three major parties. It’s ironic that the one party that has no seats (the PPC), their leadership (Maxime Bernier) is secure.”
Hetherington said with two minority governments back to back, that “puts a question mark on Justin Trudeau.” He agreed with Van Kesteren’s assessment of O’Toole and his failure to gain ground, and said Jagmeet Singh, leader of the NDP, with 25 seats
this time around against 24 in 2019, could be replaced as well. Van Kesteren said election night was much different for him than when he was running, and the results were lacking in flavour. “We woke up and it was the same old, same
old. It’s too bad, because they spent an awful lot of money. Elections are bankrolled by the government, which is really you and me. They just wasted two-thirds of a billion dollars and we got no change.” Epp agreed, but with a caveat.
“Let’s get back to work,” he said in a media release, “We have many important challenges and opportunities in front of us. It is not about a victory in an unnecessary election, but rather a reaffirmation of what is required of all of us in the time ahead.”

Despite a night of clearing debris with a crane, the Fifth Street Bridge in Chatham still had a large backlog, including a boat and a jet ski.
Flooding wasn’t as bad as predicted, he said, adding the high water was expected to peak in Chatham Sunday night or early Monday morning. The authority did not utilize the 6th Street Dam in Chatham, Wintermute said. He said the timing of the flood is unusual. “Our experience is that we don’t normally have summer floods,” he said.
