The Ottawa Municipal Election
Well I was going to do a big write-up about who you should vote for in the upcoming election but I’ve been saved the trouble. First of all, the polls indicate that the best man is winning. Second, this blogger has everything covered: darrendrmcewen.blogspot.com
Here’s my favourite bit, where he quotes one of our extreme right-wing city councillors:
“Alex Munter may be the nicest, smartest person you’re going to meet today,” says Councillor Jan Harder. “But that doesn’t mean he’ll be a good mayor.”
Now Jan, you should have stopped at just saying the “nicest” candidate might not necessarily make the best mayor but you had to add the “smartest” candidate might not make the best mayor???
This is gold! And just in case you’re thinking of voting for the “other guy,” check out this gem:
Larry O’Brien uttered a rather precarious comment during Thursday’s CFRA debate,
“A leader says ‘what’, not ‘how’”
Great, just what Ottawa needs… a pointy-haired mayor!

I’m glad you’re having as much fun as I am. Every day is a treat with head scratchers, blunders and funny moments!
