What a blast! I guess if this campaign wasn't going to be fun, I wouldn't be doing it.
On September 2nd, all 11 declared candidates showed up as Thorncliff/Greenview hosted a candidate forum. We know that concerned citizens of Calgary care about particular issues, and they came prepared.
Questions ranged from Car Traps (Although, people still insist on calling them Bus Traps), co-existence of Business/Industrial Parks, and residential neighbourhoods, Traffic short cutting and management in our ward, dog parks, and another broad range of issues.
We all had our key issues, which for the most part all had a chance to discuss. Instead of re-hashing all the information, I will let you know that each candidate has a specific agenda or platform. You most likely know mine, as you are reading this, and my previous post was a excerpt directly from my website.
I know the people in attendance picked up as much marketing material as they could handle, and all are now digesting the information.
Did the key issues come up - Yes - Airport Tunnel, Poor City Spending habits, snow removal, urban sprawl and the bridge was mentioned in passing. All 11 candidates had a voice, and the moderator should be congratulated for keeping time in place, and his setup, execution, and participation with the "Random" questions. I just want to know what the 11 questions were we never heard...
Have a great long weekend!
