In the last election, candidates focused on how they would improve public engagement. In this election, very little mention is made of public engagement. We think it is very important and do not believe Council has been successful in establishing a true public engagement process.
This is a contentious issue, and we are not here to debate the issue. We want to provide you with some information to think about and let you decide.
Climate change is real, and we need to be aware of what we are doing and what we are not doing.
We seem to never get it right when it comes to transit. We keep throwing money at transit hoping that this will solve the problem. It doesn’t.
It is no surprise that some candidates as part of their election platform are talking about a transit master plan.
Councillors work hard for the residents, but some rarely work with them.
A poor Councillor always votes “yes” on staff recommendations. Is it because they have not read the report, do not understand it, or believe town staff are the experts on everything?
There is no easy answer for something that causes so much hardship for so many.
Municipal candidates are put on the spot when they are asked what they are going to do to fix the problem of affordable housing, homelessness, and other social issues.
