Town’s By Election
As I sit and enjoy my patio furniture cushions that we had just bought – I took a look at some of the recent elected candidates for MLA for this town. One was the ex-mayor of this town for the last 20 yrs – someone whom I’ve walked by now and then on the streets but never once said hello to me – not that i’m a small woman either – that he could have missed me. Most likely thinks i’m just poor immigrant from China – muahahhaa!
Then we have few others that I have never met or seen in my entire 10 yrs here – and then we have the above – the youngest – and most promising one – only 26 years old. I saw a video clip on his nomination speech this afternoon – and yes – he was full of zest, aspiration, hope, promises – boldness and personally, i do want to believe him but his speech was so overwhelming for me – why? In the last few years – I’ve heard a lot similar pitches and in the last few years – I’ve been truly disappointed by our “leaders”
We are not into politics, we are business people as I had sat down and written to one of the candidates on his website, I had asked him the reason/s why I and my household of 5 should vote for him? I’ve yet to hear back from him and it had been more than 24 hrs and the general consensus after speaking with several customer was – does it matters? Does it matter who gets voted in? Does it?
