What Happened To The Media Personalities Running In The GTA?
The first one to admit defeat was former CTV weatherman Anwar Knight, who was running for a council seat in Mississauga Ward 9. He was beaten by the incumbent, Martin Reid.

Media folks are 0 for 2 in the race.
Natalie Johnson came in second to "I'll run anywhere" Nate Erskine-Smith. Will she be able to return to CTV Toronto as a reporter after her loss in Beaches-East York, just as AM640's Greg Brady was allowed to come back to the morning show following his loss in a past vote?
I hope so. I always found her to be a good and fair reporter and she surely knows the inner workings of her beat at City Hall.

Anwar got his ass kicked BIG TIME! 11 thousand and something votes to his mere 2000 votes.
That's too bad. (for him) Better luck next election!

When Anwar knew that he would lose the election, he resorted to implying that there was something shady about the incumbent councillor’s campaign finance disclosures. Anwar was never going to win against someone who was born and raised in the ward, when he doesn’t even live there.
