The following appeared on the Pinedale Community Association Facebook page.
It is a message from Paul Sharman, Councillor for ward 5 who is running for election.
Now that the race is on, I am looking forward to seeing many of you again. Many of you allowed me to place a sign on your lawn in the last three elections and it will be great if you let me do that again. To do so, please use this link to let me know https://paulsharman.ca/lawn-signs/.
Here is the Fun Challenge. Could you persuade some of your friends and neighbours to allow me to put a sign on their lawn also? Please ask willing homeowners to sign up here https://paulsharman.ca/lawn-signs/ and include in the comments that you recommended the sign and they accepted! After the election is over and I am returned as Ward 5 Councillor for another four years, the person with the most recommended/placed signs (more than 5) will be eligible for dinner at a nice restaurant hosted by me.
Neighbourhood Meetup
Along the same lines as the Fun Challenge, if you and you neighbours are interested in holding a get together to know me better for me to answer questions about my platform. I will be pleased to join you. It can be as simple as a gathering on someone’s driveway.
Finally, please check out my website www.PaulSharman.ca , and feel free to contact me by email Paul@PaulSharman.ca or by phone 905 320 7467.

We don’t make this stuff up. Desperate people do desperate things. This one was just plain stupid.
Paul Sharman talking to people at a community event during the 2018 election. Does this look like a worried man?
What Sharman has done is joined the Pinedale Community Association and then exploited the members of that association.
The President or Administer of the association should expel him for the association.
The City Clerk might want to look into whether or not Sharman broke the rules of the Municipal Act.
Sharman would appear to be in trouble and looking for anything he can lay his hands on to boost his vote.
Have to wonder if this “Fun Challenge” has gone out to other groups as well as the Pinedale Community Association. Should this even be happening?
Perhaps residents in Ward 5 should check out Andrew Hall who is running for the council seat as well. His website is andrewhallburlington.com
Surely what Councilor Sharman has done is no different than say being a member of Rotary or Optimists or a tennis club or similar and networking those memberships. The offer of a free dinner though maybe beyond the rules. But let’s see what the City Clerk says. You’d think Councilor Sharman or his team would have checked it out first.
Sick… sick….sick and this is the person who many wanted for mayor. I have just got access to the December 11, 2018 webcast and my web site within the next couple of weeks will show a side of Sharman no one else but Dave and I saw.
You are such a hypocrit. You shout from the rooftops at others transparency, transparency, transparency. Yet you are as opaque as any politician.
You ignore and fail to answer publicly those questions put to you publicly here in this forum by me and others.
