尼亚加拉地区原本预计韦兰市八人角逐市长一职将是当晚最大的选举看点，但结果却出现了更大的新闻：多位被视为难以撼动的现任市长落败。
Welland's eight-person race for the mayor's seat was supposed to be the big election story of the night in Niagara, but it turned out there were bigger stories happening with the defeat of incumbent mayors who some may have considered unbeatable.
根据非官方结果，在五人竞争的尼亚加拉瀑布市市长选举中，连任四届的现任市长吉姆·迪奥达蒂惨败，市议员洛丽·洛科科以 51.45% 的得票率轻松获胜，迪奥达蒂以 41.73% 的得票率屈居第二。
Jim Diodati in Niagara Falls, Wayne Redekop in Fort Erie and Bill Steele of Port Colborne all got their walking papers by voters who seemed to be in the mood for change. In an upset, four-term mayor Diodati was handily defeated by city councillor Lori Lococo who won 51.45 per cent of the vote in a five-person race, compared to Diodati's second-place finish with 41.73 per cent, according to unofficial results.
迪奥达蒂已担任市长 16 年，此前誓言若再次连任将是其最后一个任期。
Diodati had been mayor for 16 years and vowed if he'd won again, it would be his final term.
“我感觉非常棒，”洛科科在竞选总部的庆功会上对加拿大广播公司（CBC）新闻表示。她透露获悉自己将成为该市历史上首位女市长。
"I'm feeling pretty amazing," Lococo told CBC News at her victory party with supporters. She said she's being told she'll be the city's first-ever woman mayor.
“我一直希望选民是基于候选人的经验和技能投票，而不是因为性别，”她说。洛科科表示，她从居民那里听到，大家正为负担能力问题而挣扎。“我们真的需要控制预算和税收，”她说。
"I always hope that people vote for people based on their experience and skills, not because of their gender," she said. Lococo said she's heard from residents that they're struggling with affordability. "We really need to get our budget and our taxes under control," she said.
她还表示，居民告诉她，他们想要一种不同类型的领导，“让他们觉得自己很重要、声音被听到。这正是我想与市议会一起推动的。”
She said residents also told her they want a different type of leadership, "where they matter and they're being heard. That's what I want to bring forward with our city council."
福特伊利市现任市长韦恩·雷德科普落败 尼亚加拉地区另一大冷门是福特伊利市现任市长雷德科普败给了镇区域议员汤姆·因西纳。
Fort Erie's Wayne Redekop defeated Another major upset in Niagara with the defeat of Fort Erie's incumbent mayor Redekop by town regional councillor Tom Insinna.
非官方结果显示，因西纳以 52.2% 的得票率大胜，雷德科普获得 40.9% 的选票。
Insinna won handily with 52.2 per cent of the votes, compared to Redekop's 40.9 per cent of the share of votes, unofficial results showed.
因西纳曾是皇家骑警警官，他承诺将为福特伊利前道格拉斯纪念医院的紧急护理中心而战。自该医院降级为紧急护理中心以来，医疗保健多年来一直是该镇的主要问题，由于尼亚加拉卫生局属下三家大型医院医生短缺，营业时间经常被削减。
Insinna, a former RCMP officer, had pledged to fight for the urgent care centre at the former Douglas Memorial Hospital in Fort Erie. Health care has been a major issue in the town for years since the hospital was downgraded to an urgent care centre, and hours have been cut regularly due to shortages of doctors at Niagara Health's three large hospitals.
因西纳还承诺将为该镇带来财政纪律，称他在尼亚加拉地区政府已做到这一点。
Insinna also pledged to bring fiscal discipline to the town as he said he's done at Niagara's regional government.
雷德科普是一名律师，多年来一直是镇政坛的核心人物。他在1990年代初担任镇议员后，于1997年起出任市长达九年，随后于2014年重返政坛担任市长，直至今日。
Redekop, a lawyer, has been a fixture at the helm of town politics for years. After serving as town councillor in the early 1990s he went on to become mayor for nine years starting in 1997, then returned in 2014 to hold the post until now.
博·肯尼在科尔伯恩港强势回归 科尔伯恩港选民同样选择了变革，非官方结果显示，市议员博·肯尼在五人角逐中以3430票获胜，斯蒂尔获得2307票。
Bea Kenny's big comeback in Port Colborne Port Colborne voters also opted for change, with unofficial results showing city councillor Bea Kenny won with 3,430 votes, compared to Steele's 2,307 in a five-person race.
肯尼在市议会任职逾20年，她告诉加广（CBC）称，曾因照顾抗癌的已故丈夫而离开公职八年，丈夫去世后决定重返市政坛。
Kenny, who has served for more than 20 years on council, told CBC she left public office for eight years to care for her late husband when he was fighting cancer and decided to stage a return to city politics after his death.
“科尔伯恩港市民将信任交托给我，我深感荣幸，”她对加广新闻表示，“我是靠敲门拜访赢得他们信任的。”肯尼表示，尼亚加拉卫生局计划关闭前科尔伯恩港医院的紧急护理中心，是居民最关心的议题。她承诺将为保持该紧急护理中心开放而战。
"I'm humbled by the citizens of Port Colborne who have put their trust in me," she told CBC News. "I won their trust knocking on doors." Kenny said plans by Niagara Health to shut down the town's urgent care centre at the former Port Colborne hospital was a top issue with residents. She pledged to fight to keep that urgent care centre open.
“科尔伯恩港市民不应受到任何区别对待，他们与尼亚加拉地区其他居民应享受同等待遇，”她说。肯尼表示，居民还希望她致力于控制污水处理费率。
"It's not fair to the citizens of Port Colborne to be treated any differently than any other residents of Niagara," she said. Kenny said residents also want her to fight to get wastewater rates under control.

Siscoe said his campaign cruised to victory in the mayor's race through old-fashioned campaigning on the ground in the face of what he called lies and untruths being spouted on social media.
“这大概是最艰难、最肮脏、抹黑最多的一次竞选，”西斯科在胜选演讲中对支持者说。
"This was probably the hardest, the dirtiest, the most smear-filled campaign," Siscoe told supporters in his victory speech.
“事实证明，社交媒体赢不了选战。走到实地，与人交谈，与居民沟通，这才能赢得选战，”他说。
"It turns out social media doesn't win campaigns. Getting out on the ground, having conversations with people, talking to residents, that's what wins campaigns," he said.
“我们今晚获胜的原因是我们付出了辛勤劳动。我感谢社区给予我信任和支持，让我再任四年。”
"The reason why we won tonight is because we put in the hard work. I'm thankful that the community put their faith and their trust in me for four more years."
西斯科说，从四年前首次参选时起，他的计划就是只担任两届市长，“尽我所能努力工作，然后为更有精力的人让位。这依然是我的计划。”
