鈥淭he event went really well,鈥� said Wheatley. 鈥淣o major heckling. Brenda鈥檚 crew were a bit rambunctious.鈥�

Wheatley said he was surprised at how well the ACM went. He said everyone was polite and none of the candidates descended into any sort of 鈥渕udslinging.鈥�

鈥淛inny missed more than half,鈥� Wheatley added. 鈥淪he had been at another event.鈥�

Wheatley ran three ACMs鈥攕chool trustees, councillors, and mayors鈥攁nd although they all went well and he鈥檚 received a lot of positive feedback, he鈥檚 glad they鈥檙e done for now.

鈥淚鈥檓 happy we had all eight (mayoral) candidates,鈥� he said. 鈥淭he atmosphere was charged but positive, and the crowd was respectful.
