Your headline refers to 'Canada's lousy mayor's' and includes photos of three of them, one being Vancouver's mayor Gregor Robertson. So one would think that the article would support that argument. Instead, the article only refers to Vancouver in terms of its party system, and not even that is considered 'lousy' - in fact, the angle in the article is that Vancouver's should be a model for other municipalities. Nothing about Vancouver's mayor being perceived as lousy. Sothe accusation [with the headline and photos chosen to represent 'lousy mayors'] is not just a leap... together, they make a claim that does not exist in the content of the story. Isn't that what editors are for?
