A recent follower of the Blog tells me the Blog is the pulse of the community. If true ,I would be very pleased indeed. A lot of time and effort goes into it which I enjoy. If the enjoyment is shared that would be bonus.
I don't make the assumption though.
Visits and views climb steadily . Then we have a statutory holiday and they fall off. They climb again sometimes more slowly.
When a controversial issue takes hold ,the numbers shoot up and stay until excitement fades.
When we speak of things beyond our borders, it raises the ire of some. They jealously guard the local bailiwick.
That's alright. The blog is my small contribution to town affairs. Everyone brings something to elected office.
My commitment to the right togovern ourselves is mine.
At the moment, Council seems to have been relegated to the minor role of social convener.
It's a far cry from "meddling" in town affairs.
I think membership is as reflective of the community as it could be.
When it comes to the election , options provided, voters will judge the sum and substance
of the term's accomplishments.
We will live with that.
In the meantime ,Council shares a commitment to the best interest of the community as each perceives it
We ought to enjoy the common endeavor.
To do otherwise is such a waste of time.
D'accord
ReplyDeleteThere are some who would ham-string the Blog. I have hesitated to mention the landslide re-election of the Calgary Mayor. Just because we are a small land-locked town doesn't mean we can't think beyond the border.

ReplyDeleteCertain members of the present council seem to forget that wasting time is also wasting money.
It is this money, that flows from the taxpayers, that is their prime responsibility; they should spend it wisely.
It has been quite a romp. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteIt has actually gotten better. Used to be there was an indignant yowl when you ventured as far as Pefferlaw.
ReplyDeleteMore accurately, this blog is the pulse of a small minority of the community. There are a huge number of the community that do not come here, do not know it exists and do not care. The only ones that come here are the vocal few who follow the leader and few of us that like to keep the others in check and reality.
ReplyDeleteDon’t know about the accuracy of your comment.. There’s a number of councillors from other Town’s that read this blog. I work in this Town and I speak to people almost every day about this blog.
