We asked candidates who were responding to media what their experience has been like during the past three or four months they have been going door to door seeking support.

“The largest impact on me personally over the last 2 1/2 months of going door to door is the tremendous amount of work that is required to be an effective city councillor.

“From reading and understanding important reports to finding a way to implement these items requires a “big picture” mentality. Putting the effort to learn about the issues that I have heard about, and finding ways to handle them in a timely and effective matter, requires a persistent work ethic.

“Continuing contact with all the voters seems to be a consistent topic from those who I have met, and getting information out to the them in a timely manner would be greatly appreciated.

“Transparency and accountability are also issues that most concern the people I have met. I have been encouraged by the support from so many, and that encouragement has helped me in this “journey” I embarked on.”

The current ward Councillor Angelo Bentevegna has decided he would not do interviews with us.

    What is very inappropriate is Candidate Marsden going muck raking into Councilor Bentivenga. What’s even more in appropriate and frankly disgusting is that Candidate Marsden should then post the “dirt” in the Gazette’s comment section rather than reporting what she thinks is inappropriate to the Integrity Commissioner or any other appropriate authority.

    This is the same Candidate Marsden that haranged the Mayor for her handling of the Stolte apology. Candidate Marsden is in the moral gutter.

    Another instance of DOUBLE STANDARD MARSDEN (capitals for affect like Marsden’s)

  • Pepper, last time we checked Kevin Arjoon’s twitter he was being followed by RE-ELECT ANGELO BENTIVEGNA DID NOT SEE ANY OTHER COUNCILLORS OR THE MAYOR TAKING SUCH AN INAPPROPRIATE ACTION. IT SAYS AN AWFUL LOT ABOUT BOTH OF THEM IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY THINK IS APPROPRIATE, WE HAVE NOT CHECKED RECENTLY TO SEE IF IT WAS TAKEN DOWN AFTER WE COMMENTED ON IT.
