This is why Kitchener is called Kitchener. During the do-over referendum (The first one had somewhat too much military supervision of the German vote for the courts' liking), Berlin and Adanac split the vote and so we're named after the guy whose foresight about the duration of WWI made it possible for towns and villages to lose all of their young men with one well-placed artillery shell.

in other years the result is due to a split in voting.
