Making disparaging remarks about North Bay police officers didn't help the campaign of mayoral candidate Will Boissoin apparently.
The rookie politician finished fifth with just 98 votes, more than 100 votes less than Mike Guillemette who had withdrawn and didn't even run a campaign.
Mayor Al McDonald was re-elected after garnering 8,017 votes.
"Isn’t every cop a slice of bacon! Oink oink," Boissoin wrote on his Facebook page.

Boissoin at first denied the Facebook page was his, suggesting a mayoral rival has set it up to hurt his campaign.
He later admitted it, then denied it a second time.
BayToday reached out to Boissoin but received no reply.
