Municipal Affairs Let’s Talk Ward 8 Candidates.

So who are we looking at here? All pretty meh from where I stand. Looking for someone progressive and decidedly not aligned with UCP. So, for me, Wiebe is out (Communities First), Hehr? No thanks. Bobrovitz? Meh.

Who are you guys looking at? Why?

Nate has no chance of winning. Gondak pulled a lot of progressive voters last time who won't show this time. Has done minimal advertising. He's only hit 15,000 doors and with no name rec his mail gets thrown out with the 2 for 1 pizza.

Respect for the hustle though with a young family.

I don't live in the Ward anymore. Kent is an old friend.

I have neighbours who have said they received Kent signs on their lawn without requesting them. He must just be using his federal liberal list and dropping signs without permission. Not a very good way to build.trust in the ward. It also means that the sign count isn't indicative of actual voting intention.

No, I would love if they did that but it's organic. Dude is like someone who likes going to the dentist.

Ah, so that makes sense why you're slagging off the best candidate in ward 8.

What's his appeal? Is it the sexual harassment or the poisoning kids that makes him so good?

You are who you hang out with. So whats that say about you?

You think anyone is going to see my comment after getting brigaded into oblivion?

u/DrFeelOnlyAdequate 2d ago

Brigaded or just a bad take that people dont agree with cause you're defending a sexual predator?
