Mark Sutcliffe elected as Ottawa's next mayor

Long-time broadcaster, entrepreneur elected after running on fiscal frugality

 
Trevor Pritchard · CBC News ·

Projected new mayor of Ottawa Mark Sutcliffe speaks to supporters.

Duration 1:45
During his acceptance speech, Mark Sutcliffe, who CBC has projected to be the next mayor of Ottawa, thanked his supporters and credited his opponent, Catherine McKenney, for their campaign, calling them a trailblazer with an "unequaled ambition for what our city can be."

Mark Sutcliffe, a longtime broadcaster and entrepreneur who positioned himself as a city hall outsider during this fall's election campaign, will serve as Ottawa's next mayor.

With more 260,000 ballots cast, Sutcliffe had amassed just over 51 per cent of the votes. His nearest competitor, two-term councillor Catherine McKenney, had just over 38 per cent of the vote.

Former mayor Bob Chiarelli was in third with approximately five per cent.

"What a beautiful night in Ottawa!" Sutcliffe told a raucous crowd during his victory speech at the Lago events centre at Dows Lake.

"I am feeling a lot of emotions right now: humility, excitement, joy, a lot of relief. But most of all, I am feeling incredible gratitude."

The only one of the top three candidates without elected experience, Sutcliffe was nevertheless familiar to many voters thanks to his years on air at CFRA, CPAC and what's now CityNews Ottawa and Rogers TV.

The 54-year-old campaigned on fiscal frugality, promising to cap property tax increases at 2.5 per cent in 2023 and 2024 and continue to keep them low in 2025 and 2026.

He pledged to find $35 million in municipal savings by, in part, cutting 200 city staff positions.

Sutcliffe's platform did include spending promises, including $25 million toward repairing roads and sidewalks and clearing snow. Other promises included forging a "recruitment strategy" to entice family physicians to Ottawa, boosting the city's music and entertainment scenes, and building several new dog parks.

He received endorsements from several former Ottawa mayors, as well as local politicians like Progressive Conservative MPP Lisa MacLeod and Liberal MP Yasir Naqvi — endorsements he said spoke to his "cross-partisan" support.

"I've learned a lot during this campaign. For one thing, it is more difficult to participate in a debate than to moderate one," Sutcliffe told the crowd, in a nod to his broadcasting roots.

"Also: not everyone wears pants when they answer the door."

'We're going to move forward'

McKenney was one of the first people to jump into the mayor's race after Jim Watson announced last winter he would not seek a fourth straight term.

First elected as councillor for Somerset ward in 2014, McKenney's profile rose when they became a face of public opposition to the weeks-long occupation of Ottawa's downtown by Freedom Convoy protesters.

If elected, they would have become the first trans non-binary mayor of a major Canadian city.

In their concession speech, McKenney acknowledged it wasn't the result their campaign was hoping for, while vowing to wake up Tuesday morning and continue working for the "city that we deserve."

McKenney also congratulated Sutcliffe, saying they truly believed he had a vision and wanted to make Ottawa better.

"It's tough and it's disappointing, but we're going to move forward. We are. We owe that to the thousands of voters that put their faith in our campaign," McKenney told the crowd at the All Saints Event Centre, to cheers.

"Tonight we're going to share some drinks. They're not on me, though! I'm unemployed. There's no soft landing here."

For his part, Sutcliffe said he'd always respected McKenney — and that respect only grew over the course of the campaign.

"Catherine is a trailblazer. Catherine is an incredibly passionate advocate for the most vulnerable," he said. "And Catherine has an unequaled ambition for what our city could be."

Born and raised in Ottawa

Born in Ottawa in 1968, Sutcliffe graduated from St. Pius X High School and was enrolled at Carleton University before dropping out to take a job with rock radio station Chez 106.

He would go on to hold various on-air positions, while also co-founding the Ottawa Business Journal. 

Sutcliffe has served on numerous boards including Algonquin College and the Ottawa Board of Trade, while also volunteering for causes like the United Way and the Ottawa Community Housing Foundation.

In 2016, he was appointed to the Order of Ottawa.

An avid long-distance runner, Sutcliffe has also written two books about his experiences, Why I Run and The Road to Boston. He lives in Wellington Village with his wife and their children.

>
> Ottawa's city election campaign is shaping up to be among the most
> exciting in the province, and some experts believe it will buck the
> trend of voter apathy.
>
> With election day exactly one week away, the top two candidates to
> become the next mayor are locked in a duel of high-profile
> endorsements that are crossing traditional party lines.
>
> Before the weekend, Mark Sutcliffe already boasted a long list of
> well-known backers, including former provincial and federal cabinet
> members.
>
> But Catherine McKenney closed the gap this weekend, most notably by
> scoring an endorsement from former Bank of Canada governor Mark
> Carney.
>
> Early in the campaign, Mark Sutcliffe released a long list of
> "honorary co-chairs" that included several former mayors — Claudette
> Cain, Brian Coburn, Jim Durrell, and Jackie Holzman — plus a few
> members of the business community and local politicians.
>
> Police services board chair Eli El-Chantiry was an early supporter, as
> were a number of local Liberal MPs and MPPs. So were a few former
> federal Conservative cabinet ministers like Marjorie LeBreton and John
> Baird.
>
> "I'm proud to be supported by a growing coalition of people who want
> less politics and more results, who want a fresh perspective at city
> hall," Sutcliffe wrote in a statement back in August.
>
> But for someone who has described himself as a city hall outsider,
> Sutcliffe is being backed by a wide swath of this city's political
> establishment.
>
> On Sunday, his team released a list of "cross-partisan leaders" who
> support him, including two former planning chairs — Jan Harder and
> Peter Hume — and other departed councillors like Katherine Hobbs,
> Michael Qaqish and Rainer Bloess.
>
> Sutcliffe and his team noted that their support draws from all
> political parties, including Zaff Ansari and Lyse-Pascale Inamuco, who
> have both run for the NDP in Ottawa.
>
> In the past few months, he's been endorsed by Lisa MacLeod, the
> Progressive Conservative MPP for Nepean — who also hosted a
> "meet-and-greet" for him earlier this month — and Ottawa Centre
> Liberal MP Yasir Naqvi.
> McKenney drawing across party lines, too
>
> McKenney's list of public endorsements is shorter and includes some
> usual suspects, such as council colleagues Jeff Leiper, Theresa
> Kavanagh and Shawn Menard.
>
> Considering McKenney's roots in the New Democratic Party — they worked
> for former NDP leader Ed Broadbent when he was MP for Ottawa Centre in
> the mid-2000s — it's no surprise that Ottawa Centre NDP MPP Joel
> Harden has come out in favour of the downtown councillor in a big way.
>
> Broadbent is also expected to formally endorse McKenney later this week.
>
> What perhaps wasn't expected was how McKenney has attracted some
> progressive federal Liberals to their tent. One of their campaign
> co-chairs is Tyler Meredith, a significant economic policy adviser to
> Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and a couple of finance ministers.
>
> On Saturday, former Ottawa Centre MP Catherine McKenna — Naqvi's
> predecessor and political ally — endorsed McKenney.
>
> McKenna served in two cabinet positions, first as minister of
> environment and climate change and later as minister of infrastructure
> and communities, before deciding not to run again last year. She's
> currently the chair of a United Nations expert group helping
> non-government organizations achieve net-zero emissions.
>
> Then on Sunday, economist Mark Carney released his endorsement,
> complete with a video.
>
> The former governor of both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England
> praised McKenney for their costed platform, transparency in releasing
> their donor list — which shows his wife Diana Carney contributed $500
> to McKenney's campaign — and their climate action plan.
>
> A little later on Sunday afternoon, another high-profile Liberal
> endorsed McKenney. Gerry Butts, Trudeau's former principal secretary
> and longtime friend, tweeted that McKenney has his vote for mayor.
>
> Butts said he supported McKenney due to their leadership during the
> convoy occupation, where they showed "toughness, care and leadership
> for people when we really needed it."
> Effects of endorsements unclear
>
> While elected officials are allowed to endorse candidates in municipal
> elections, it's not clear how effective that support is at the polls.
> For some voters, endorsements can be a shortcut for deciding who to
> vote for — if someone you supported in the past likes a certain
> candidate, then maybe you will too.
>
> And some endorsements may be more helpful than others.
>
> After a televised debate on CTV, controversial former mayor Larry
> O'Brien tweeted his support for Bob Chiarelli. "Nobody can run city
> hall without experience," O'Brien wrote. "Bob has the courage and
> speaks the truth."
>
> Chiarelli, who's also been endorsed by former police leaders Brian
> Ford and Larry Hill and former city councillor Richard Cannings,
> didn't ask for O'Brien's endorsement or his support on Twitter but did
> say he was "appreciative."
>
> As well, Nour Kadri has been endorsed by NDP MP and deputy leader
> Alexandre Boulerice, who has stated his support for the candidate's
> climate plan.
> Nour Kadri, left, has been endorsed by federal NDP deputy leader
> Alexandre Boulerice. Kadri will be joining three other leading

> Instead, protesters used their vehicles to block main arteries in
> downtown Ottawa for nearly a month — and what started as a
> demonstration against COVID-19 vaccine mandates took an
> anti-government character. The protest was marked by incessant honking
> that let up only after a private citizen sought an injunction.
>
> "I've never seen anything like it," said Kanellakos, who serves as
> city hall's top bureaucrat.
>
> Online posts also indicated that at least some of the protesters
> intended to stay and disrupt the city in a bid to force the government
> to agree to their demands. City Councillor Riley Brockington also told
> city hall that he felt the protesters would stay on after the first
> weekend.
>
> "The OPS today estimated 1,000-2,000 to protest. No way. Expect many
> more," he wrote on Jan. 26.
>
> Kanellakos said city hall didn't have the intelligence-gathering
> capacity to estimate how many people were coming into the city and had
> to rely on the advice of Ottawa police.
>
> "The only information we could rely on was from Ottawa police, in
> terms of reliable information at that time," he said. "Ottawa police
> has extensive experience dealing with demonstrations in the national
> capital."
>
> Kanellakos testified that the city's lawyers felt Ottawa police were
> not providing them with sufficient information.
>
> But after the first weekend, Kanellakos said, it became clear that the
> protest was becoming entrenched and police didn't have enough
> resources to cope.
>
> Documents entered into evidence Monday showed that, as the protesters
> dug in, city police felt there was "a potential for violence and
> weapons" in certain "dangerous and volatile" areas along Rideau Street
> — where protesters known to police were taking part in demonstrations.

>
> "I recall the minister saying that this was something the chiefs

> COVID-19 mandates and the federal government.
>
> The Somerset ward councillor wanted to make the raucous reality of the
> Freedom Convoy protests and their impact on downtown residents crystal

> "People just needed to see it. It really was a last-minute decision. I
> actually got accosted by someone when I was on tape," said McKenney,
> reflecting last month from the calmer confines of a Wellington West
> coffee shop near their campaign office.
>
> It was a decision that also elevated McKenney's public profile beyond
> Ottawa as one of the faces of the resistance to the convoy, and one

> Coun. Catherine McKenney joined Wednesday’s city council meeting from
> a downtown street packed with trucks and other vehicles, asking to

>
> But at the time, McKenney's reasons were more basic.
>
> "I hadn't given it much thought. I just was desperate. I couldn't have

>
> Instead, they say things like "grounded," "collaborative" and
> "competent." They cite McKenney's deep understanding of municipal
> bureaucracy, a result of several years spent in the deputy city
> manager's office.

> And if some who spoke to CBC wonder whether McKenney might need to
> tone down their passionate advocacy in the mayor's chair (McKenney
> uses they/them pronouns and is trans non-binary), they also laud their

> "They're very authentic. They are who they say they are," said Simone
> Thibault, who met McKenney three decades ago when the pair worked to
> get the names of murdered women and girls inscribed on a monument at

>
> Born in Fort Coulonge, Que., into a family of loggers, McKenney came

> — before arriving in the nation's capital to study political science
> at the University of Ottawa.

> After graduating, McKenney got a job reading news articles verbatim on
> cable television for people who were blind or partly blind.

> By the late 1990s, they'd found their way into municipal politics,
> working for a pair of Ottawa city councillors: Alex Munter, currently
> the head of CHEO but then a councillor in suburban Kanata, and Diane
> Holmes, whom they'd later succeed as the representative for Somerset
> ward.
>
> McKenney would work for Holmes in the morning and Munter in the

> part of that time they lived at Lao Village, a housing co-op in the
> west-end suburb.
>
> "I thought the world of both of them," recalled McKenney. "It really
> gave me an insight into the competing needs of suburban and urban
> neighbourhoods — but also the similarities."
>
> McKenney left municipal politics in 2004 to serve as a legislative
> assistant for former federal NDP leader Ed Broadbent — at that time
> the MP for Ottawa Centre — and then his successor in the riding, Paul
> Dewar. But by 2008, they were back at city hall, working as a senior
> advisor to then-deputy city manager Steve Kanellakos.
>
> While McKenney feels they were "pretty good" at the non-partisan job,
> it wasn't always easy to keep their own vision for the city to
> themselves.
>
> "I could see that some of the decisions that council was making at the
> time, cuts to transit, cuts to recreation services,  weren't being
> made in the best interests of people," McKenney said.
>
> It was during that time that McKenney began seriously considering
> their own council run. And when Holmes announced she was retiring
> ahead of the 2014 election, McKenney put their name on the Somerset
> ward ballot — and handily bested the 11-candidate field with more than
> 40 per cent of the vote.
>
> "Most people run for mayor, but they know nothing about the [inner
> workings of the] city," said Holmes, who's now helping with McKenney's
> election campaign.
