Re: “Victoria: Helps shakes off rivals,” Oct. 21.

In her victory speech, Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps said: “This campaign has been a referendum on the future of the city.” As referendums require at least 50 per cent plus one to pass, it is clear that the anti-Helps factions carried the day. The mayor is trying to convince voters of the opposite.

It looks as if Victorians get another four years of disingenuous rhetoric and buzzword bafflegab.
