I would love to see Grace run but she took such a nasty hammering with the last council that I hesitate to even suggest such a thing. I felt so badly because we had voted for her & encouraged others to do so

It's because of what happened in the last term that I think Grace needs to be encouraged.
And it's about the town's needs.
Grace's Dad was a Captain in the Beaches fire department.
It's an area with a strong sense of identity. People who grew up there speak of their background with pride.
Grace has that sense of pride in public service. It's not an idle cliche. We are short on identity and commitment on Council.
There's too much cold calculation of " what's in it for me "
FYI< there's a referendum campaign in Scotland now about Separation.
Except for language, it's not unlike the roils and rumbles we hear from Quebec.
Except the Scots might be a tad more deliberate and have less to lose,
The Irish still want the Northern Territory back. Kind of like Russians and Crimea .
The Irish practiced terrorism , with funs from Americans, until the mothers decided ...when they had to bury children...they had had enough.
Doesn't really matter where in Europe, passion is never far from the surface .memories
never fade and it doesn't take much to start an argument and get the blood boiling.
The new rigeur for blog will not include occasional waspish comments.
We are advised the trolls are being fed too much .
Perhaps for you it is akin to getting back on the horse. I would vote for Grace but refuse to make her revisit the scene of the crime.
ReplyDeleteHow's that for mixing metaphors ?
