Municipal Election 2022
- Thread starter GreyGhost
- Start date
Near me, candidate effort wasn't much better. About half of the candidates running had no website/social media outlining their positions. They relied on you finding an interview with the media. Fail.
I can't find our local turnout percentage but I suspect it will be in the same range as others. It's hard to get voters to care when you have a bunch of unknown people with unknown platforms competing.
Fair enough. I didn't vote in our town yesterday because I wasn't following it and I would have been guessing. That said I did want to go spoil my ballot by scrawling 666 over the Brebner slot. Effing nutter.
Stratford-Perth Pride alleges homophobic remarks from council candidate
Stratford-Perth Pride is raising concerns over alleged comments made by a St. Marys council candidate. The group launched an advocacy campaign called ‘vote with pride,’ that raises LGBTQ2S+ issues to candidates running in this year's municipal election.
23% in Whitby.
We could do online voting for the last few weeks. It was awesome (although you couldn't 666 a candidate). Less good for octogenarians as even in-person voting apparently required you to use something like a tablet to online vote. Seems that allowing paper for in person would have made sense to ease anxiety. They also drastically changed the voting locations. If someone showed up at their historical voting location on election day, it won't be there. Each station had a time when it was open over the last few weeks but the only one open on election day was headquarters.Fair enough.

There were literally dozens of opportunities to pre vote , and vote online and it was easy. Yet turnout was sad .

There were some victories for citizens.

Forced voting is worse imo. Since ~70% dont care enough to vote and current winners are getting the vote of ~15% of population, it would make the votes of those that cared meaningless. You'd probably find that in the absence of a recognizable name, vote outcome would be highly dependent on alphabetical order as people are more likely to randomly vote for the first candidate.

It's preferential here and in general the citizenry is engaged as every vote counts,
You can vote by party or tick off individuals

Tory's turn to spout crap. In regards to removing a federal electoral district from Scarborough, he is arguing that peoples identities will be affected. Wtf. If your identity is closely tied to your federal electoral district, you have serious mental health issues. Now, is reconfiguring districts an attempt to remove a conservative seat? Probably yes. Am I in favor of less mouth breathers sucking on the public teat, also yes. I'm not sure whether I am in favor of removing a district or not, but blabbing about cultural identities is complete bs.
I'm okay with the results.
Brown is the better choice... not that he is a good choice.. just better than the others.
Nikki would have been completely controlled by others... a puppet.
The harasser is gone... glad to see that. Not happy my tax money went towards something like that.
The firing needed to happen.. even if it costs a bit to do it.
Tory couldnt keep it in his pants and has resigned.
And who is going to replace him this could be bad.
