Today’s the final day to decide if I’m running for local election again. Most of you will remember my Area Councillor, Ward 5 campaign of three years ago. I lost with 20% of the vote but had a decent time. I’ve been assisting a few candidates this time around, and being coerced into running myself. Just not sure I have it in me this time around to invest the time in going door-to-door and urging people to get out and vote again. Young families don’t vote, and that’s who I’d need to get elected in Ward 3 and 4.
I’m already throwing my vote, support, and consulting behind Annette Groves (Regional, Ward 5), Tony Viola (Regional, Ward 3/4), Jason Payne (Area, Ward 5), and Garry Moore (Mayor) – yes, the same Garry that took me out in 2003. There’s an obvious hole there in Area, Ward 3/4, and that’s where they want me to run. Seven hours to decide, but I’m leaning on no.
Now, please enjoy this Chad Vader episode with my compliments:
