Whitehead was at the funding announcement and applauded loudly (I was sitting just behind him)! He said at the time he supported it. I don't know what game he is playing now.

Collins only came out as opposing LRT towards the end of the 2014 campaign, in October. So it would be fair to say that at the time of the vote he was opposed, but he was a late (anti-)convert.

I think that point is that the election led to softening of LRT support when asked by reporters (as it was seen as controversial), but all these candidates supported LRT in actual Council votes (especially the 2013 Rapid Ready report and all the way back to 2008's direction to staff to pursue LRT with full provincial funding).

These candidates were not defeated because of their consistent support for LRT over the previous 6 years.
