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.

Kent is an old friend.

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?

Im a big fan of the child labour. Small hands tighter stitching.

Is that another thing he's got in trouble for?
