It’s Friday – let’s see what you think.
June says it’s too bad there were so many candidates for mayor – had there been fewer it would have been a much tighter race.
Anne agrees and says the conservative vote got split.
Brian expects the same old, same old from the new council – tax more, waste more. Dennis agrees and points to bike lanes in a city with a short summer and the coming LRT traffic tie-ups.
John says if you were part of the majority non-voters don’t be complaining about anything this council does.
As for having a more efficient voting night, some are asking why there is not an “app” for that.
About my comment that government moves at the speed of wood, Vernon agrees, unless it is for their own political purpose.
About the various levels of government looking for a way to get more tax out of small business, Will quotes Winston Churchill: “Some people regard private enterprise as a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look on it as a cow to milk. Not enough politicians see it as a healthy horse, pulling a sturdy wagon.”
Let me know what you think about that and have a great weekend.
