I'm checking out the mayoral candidates for the 13 November election.
This guy is running. I feel like I probably know him, seeing as he supports my two favourite Ottawa bands. He's also got a neat Sony robots movie you should check out.
I'm prolly not going to vote for him.
So far, I'm behind Alex Munter. His platform is just common sense to me. He wants to make the city green, efficient, and friendly, and I'm all for that. Some of the others are pretty unrealistic.
As for councillors, I'm voting in the Kitchissippi Ward (which is basically Westboro and surrounding areas). I'm still torn as to who gets my vote. I want someone who is devoted to maintaining Westboro as a community in its own right, and who has a commitment to maintaining the public spaces in the community (such as parks and rinks, etc.). So I think I'm going to go for Gary Ludington, just because he actually goes into detail about what exactly he wants done with my little village. Besides, I voted for him in 2003.
And that's my story.
p.s. now I really want one of these. It's a pity that they aren't making them any more, and that they retail for a mere $40k US. Check out the Sony site for them, though - it's worth it.
