Who
Will It Be?
That's
Up To You.

With
the municipal election on Monday, now is the time to reflect on
your options - and the impact of your choices
There
are a number of important issues facing the communities of St
Clair and the Ridge - and the choices we make on Monday will have
a strong bearing on how those issues play out.
There
is, of course, the
streetcar issue, revitalization,
the
Offical Plan, the Wychwood
Carbarns and the Drive-through
Bylaw.
We
have established sections on each of these areas so that you can
become knowledgeable on these matters. We do not claim to have
all the information, but we have tried to post everything we can
- with links to relevant sites, comments from the community etc.-
so that every perspective is presented. If you feel there is something
missing, let us know about it. If you would like to share your
comments and concerns, you are encouraged to do that as well.
We
have also taken the initiative of providing access to the information
available on each of the candidates that have a direct influence
on the St Clair area - with direct links to candidate websites.
We
also went a step further. We did not believe we could post all
the information we received from the candidates - we felt by providing
links to their websites we have made that information available
to you without creating an imbalance in our coverage.
Instead,
we posed a number of questions
to as many candidates as we could. We felt this would be the most
appropriate way to ensure balance while also ensuring that specific
issues were addressed. We have also posted how we went about it,
so that you can examine the process. A number of candidates responded
and their answers
have been posted - unedited - for you to review, consider and
even comment upon - if you so wish.
(Important
Note: Those candidates that have not responded are invited to
do so. If you know someone who hasn't, we encourage you to encourage
them.)
So
please look over what we have - and anything else you can get
your hands on - discuss it with your neighbours and colleagues,
consider your choices and then get out and vote.

Now we have more than restaurants - we have virtually everything
- so look here first.
It
pays to shop local.

Editor's
Note: It's time once again to renew your 'license'. We
hope you find our election
info to be of value as you make your choices in this important
municipal election, which I heard one candidate refer to as the
'first real election of the new amalgamated city' (or words to
that effect). Let us know what you think about the issues, the
candidates (or just the weather). See you at the polls.
