Kelowna Civic Elections this October......HEAVY Changes Needed

[DarbyD]

With the election of Cannan and Webber, even more dead weight then before.

webber will be dead weight

Actually Rick may be a surprise ... a good listener, and willing to vote, with common sense, for the people. I'm hoping he is closer to Charlie Hodge than Colin.

We will see.

has anyplace announced the percentage that turned out to vote?

About 30%…the apathy in this town is a disgrace.

Wow, that is pathetic!

My neighbor says "well we won".

I asked, "did you vote this year?" He says, "no."

Sad when 40 year old's don't vote, I told him "no vote, no complaints!!"

That is sad....when I turned 18 there was a Federal Election. My father was excited that I could do the adult thing.

Is it parents have failed or is it young people just don't care who screws them over?

I think it's just apathy over the whole process and he thinks it won't make a differnce one way or the other.

Every vote counts!!

Hope he does gain interest, it is something I feel every citizen in Canada should take the time to do.

Could be either. We've always emphasized the importance of voting and what happens when we don't.

We voted together as a family. There were interesting conversations in the car on the way to and back from voting.

Cool, I always like to read about who is running. I'm not one to vote federally for a given party.

Example, truly what did Trudeau have for credentials to attempt to run a country never mind manage a Dollar Store. Get your kids reading prior to voting to educate themselves on who they should vote for.

It's not always about 'reading' but about the person themselves...You could have gone to Harvard and hold 3 degrees and be a complete genius but not have any 'people smarts' whatsoever...You could have intellectual disabilities but be CEO/Owner of a multimillion dollar business.

Always better to never mistake 'education' for individual intelligence

Sudsy your Son is right :/
Having a Mayor and City Council is basically just having a figurehead with no teeth
They can't do anything about crime, etc.... seems here they just argue and vote on new developments

City Manager is who we should be voting for imo
