What now?


Why does this blog exist?

I'm sick of the anti-progress crowd wrapping themselves in a blanket of tradition and so-called tax-payer responsibility.

I'm sick of a mayor with no vision or plan for the future of this city.

Halifax has a choice: remain wrapped in quaintness, or become a dynamic city of the 21st century.

Do we want our city to become a "what it was" or "a what it could be"?

Some of the most creative and forward thinking people in the world live here.

But not for long, not if we don't change.
 

50% is not 83%

So the old Daily News ran 2 on line polls.

Here's the results of the first one.


Given Mayor Peter Kelly's handling of Halifax 's 2014 Commonwealth Games bid, are you more or less likely to vote for him in the next municipal election?
* More (47%)
* Less (42%)
* Undecided (12%)

Wow.

I don't believe that's the result that he thought he'd get.

As a reminder, in the last civic election, waaaay back in 2004, Windsock scored 84% of the popular vote.

This isn't looking good.

The second one stated:

Who would you vote for mayor if a municipal election was held today?
* Peter Kelly (50%)
* Sheila Fougere (17%)
* Susan Uteck (10%)
* None of the above (22%)

Let's ignore the fact that the Daily News threw in Sue Uteck, just to split the vote, and the Mayor only scores 50% of the poll.

I think that the next election will be one of change.

A city leader with vision is unstoppable.

Their enthusiasm and belief in the future can lift whole communities to new heights, motivate people to see beyond their own street corners and open the future to our children.

We, as citizens of this city, have to stop navel-gazing and understand that the world is changing.

If we don't take action now, we will end up as the Nursing Home of the nation.
 
Remember Vision is the Key.

      Sue Uteck sure made Peter Kelly look bad this week with the federal funding that came through for Point Pleasant Park. She went after Ottawa for funding and got it and then to find out that the city hadn't even asked for it before this. This really shows lack of leadership by Mayor Kelly.
