   So, 29 candidates and roughly 0 platforms.

   Well here are a couple of ideas (to start) that are up for grabs…

   1. A LICENCE REQUIREMENT FOR ALL GAS STATIONS IN THE CITY WITH MORE THAN TWO PUMPS, TO HAVE AN EMPLOYEE THAT PUMPS GAS WITHOUT BEING REQUESTED.

   2. RE-CHANNEL THE EXPENSE OF FLUORIDE IN THE WATER TO FREE DENTAL CHECKUPS FOR ALL CHILDREN AT ENTERING AND DEPARTING THE PRIMARY SCHOOL SYSTEM.

   3. DISCOURAGE THE TRANMISSION OF DISEASES SUCH AS PARVOVIRUS BY INSISTING THAT DOG OWNERS HAVE THEIR ANIMAL DEFECATE ON THEIR OWNER’S PROPERTY ONLY.

   4. A COMMON DAY OF QUIET WITHOUT LAWN MOWERS, WEED WHACKERS, OT LEAF BLOWERS.

   5. IF THE MAYOR FALLS ASLEEP IN COUNCIL, SOMEONE MUST PUT A TURD IN THE FELLOW’S HAND THEN TICKLE THE SLEEPER’S NOSE WITH A FEATHER.

   Leslie O’Shaughnessy has been way to quiet, had no concern or issues speaking when on council to the point he quit which may be his downfall or be his demise) Time now Mr. O’Shaughnessy, if you have something to share best share it now or it looks like Cornwall will end up with the most corrupt Mayor in history. Same for you Jamie, spill the truth so we end up with hopefully a new Mayor. Kilger won’t show up for one debate because he is arrogant and believes regardless what he did i,e. lied, stole, cheated, abused, he will win again and that Cornwall could be the truth, but very scary. Just have to think about who 2 of Kilger’s point men are 1. Bob Peters 2. Gilles Latour. If that does not spell corrupt and cheats I don’t know what does. And where is Latour anyway? anyone know? because he has not been in 1 photo opp since being arrested for fraud.

   Trailblazer what truth are you looking for? I am not hiding anything. A very odd post you made there. Frankly the issue is not the candidates in this election; but the culture and people of Cornwall. If they want change they have to make it happen. If they really are not happy with Mayor Kilger then they have two options and same for council which have 29 options instead of voting for the incumbents.

   Jamie, maybe writing tell the truth was a wrong choice of wording. What I meant to deliver was if there is more or any information that should come out before elections and so we do not end up with Kilger again now is the time to let the public know. I understand that if people want change it’s in their hands to make it happen, my fear is nothing will change. Leslie quit council for his reasons and if he knows more then what he said I feel the people of this town have a right ot know it.

   I’m sure we will hear from Leslie O’Shaughnessy soon. Lawn signs, etc. cannot appear, if I recall correctly, until Sept. 17.

   Hugger the lawn signs have appeared here in Ottawa for at least a week for alderman on people’s lawns. I see mostly liberal/fiberal signs and very few cons or green or ndp in my area. I will not vote at all for any of them.

   I’ve seen lawn signs too. But that doesn’t mean they’re legal.

8. 

   Oh oh Hugger do you mean that the lawn signs cannot appear until Sept. 17? If this is true somebody is sure breaking the law. If you look in the Alta Vista area along Heron Road and where Heron and Walkley meet the signs are everywhere on the lawns.

   Pretty sure there’s some vote skullduggery going on… and a pretty good bet we can expect more should Frosty get in.

10. 

    Yes, Jules, legally lawn signs, etc. are not supposed to appear until September 17. But I guess that’s one law that gets overlooked.

11. 

    Culture is definitely the matter here.

    Unless the CFN voting has been tweaked with spoofed IP addresses or some other trick, how could an electorate (or CFN readership) put Brock Frost head of Greg Kielec. If anyone knows the issues and the political machinations of Cornwall it would be someone like Greg, not a self-promoting hack.

    My …my, my …my, my.

    Hugger I learned something new from you. That is something that I didn’t know. Thanks.

    CJ that’s though how some elections work. They are popularity contest and right now a bunch of River Kings fans love Brock even though the team is still shaky with less than 300 season tickets sold and a Blue & White game that drew less than half of what it did last year. Sadly Brock is playing petty politics and it appears might be using the team to try and leverage a seat on council.

    He still has not confirmed that he will personally guarantee season ticket sales if for whatever reason the team doesn’t finish the season.
