Voter turnout: Vanilla vs fruit loops on fire

Voter turnout was low in Ottawa — just 39.7 per cent of eligible voters bothered. In Toronto on the other hand, more than 60 per cent of electors stirred themselves and went to the polling station. It is an easy calculation why. In Ottawa, it seems the scene was “vanilla” as the Citizen put it.  In Toronto, to extend the metaphor, the scene was like fruit loops in fire.
