Who wants an election update?
I’ve almost finished www.annettegroves.com, but it was completed enough to launch. I’m wanting to add an events calendar to the right side of the main page before I’m comfortable calling it done.

I should note most text is provided by Tony, I’ve brushed it up or added things where needed. As noted here, getting Tony elected will prove an almost unsurmountable task under current circumstances. My strategy for him has been twofold. First, we don’t fight his reputation as a stubborn, hard-nosed businessman; we embrace it. Try to get it across that he’s successful for the same reasons he’d be successful as an elected official. It’s the classic example of turning a negative into a positive, but getting that message to enough people is where things prove difficult. Second, I’ve advised against the current trend of ignoring your opposition and concentrating on yourself. Tony wins this election only one way – by placing enough of a bad taste in people’s mouths concerning the efforts of his competitors. Between them they have somewhere around 25 years local council experience, and the problems that plague Caledon remain the same. I’ve advised he ensure, whenever possible, people are aware of this.
Can’t say too much, it’s possible competitive forces are reading.
