That was me, I’m the type of planner that would have slashed 10% of the workforce at city hall in my first term. Fiscal conservatives never get voted in on an agenda to cut hiring in government. I knew I had no chance to actually win against incumbent Watson. My only chance was to scream bloody murder on city debt issuance that is spendthrift. I screamed bloody murder on the intractable debt issuance and not a soul listened.

I even went to Orgaworld and dug into the city contract deal on the Greenbin programme. I will never forget the stench that emanated from city hall council members on the lack of planning that went into exactly what was being recycled during the pilot programme. It turned out that the city signed off on a very poorly designed contract that city planners should have conducted due diligence on.

I think what is going to really hurt Deans is she was not clear about the women bureau and now there are groups and women thinking its going to be something it can’t be.

Money is part of it but platform is also part of it I am not sure about your platform but there was someone else that did run with a extreme platform and from the get go this person had no chance as they were going to slash and cut.

Why don’t you cover Diane Deans mis-spendings or so called good decision making. The longest serving councillor but she took money from community housing to fly first class to south africa than blamed the CEO for something else. Im so tired of these fake leaders claiming to do stuff in the name of empowerment!

She went to the USA to protest Donald Trumps inauguration (I despise him by the way) instead of staying in Ottawa for cheap political points. Your a City Councillor, why not march in Ottawa? Then the latest March in Ottawa she pushes through other women to get media attention on camera!

Enough is enoug, I think the US election has changed the way people across the globe look at elections period, hoping for that change Susan!

I ran in the last two elections against Watson’s half million in donations. The corporatists rule election outcomes with their overarching contributions that are strategically placed to virtue signal to the rest of the voting population that they have selected the predetermined outcome. Naturally, people like to vote for a clear winner so that they can live vicariously through the winner when the election process is finished. The media all hype the proposed winner at the exclusion of the rest of the candidates. Each electoral round the incumbents get out in front with their name recognition & branding. Lowly candidates like myself never have a fighting chance due to the fact that the ‘K-Street’ corporatist lobby funds the chosen winner every time.
