40I was hoping for new faces with new visions. Folks, remember the voting records of the current council. Especially the budget votes.

13Excellent news!! Definitely has my vote. Experience for the “big job” is absolutely essential. New voices on Council are good, but you can’t walk into leading a corporation without experience. It backfires every time. You can’t fly a plane just because you have a druvers licence for a car. I wish her well - it ain’t gonna be easy. Anyone on this forum who can do a better job should walk the talk and be on the ballot.

32We wonder where all the post secondary education dollars go...If someone can take a leave of absence, hopefully without pay, to campaign for mayor then want to extend that while in office, they must have lots of tax payers dollars in a large emergency bank acount.In private business, taking a leave of absence to do another job (unless it is for a temporary invited teaching position) is not heard of. A private business cannot keep a persons position open indefinitely.

35A vote for her is just welcoming the same old rhetoric. Out with the old, in with the new. And never mind the 'we need someone with experience' line; I'm sure all of the current lampreys started green. VOTE FOR CHANGE OR ACCEPT THE SAME.

41Only 29.76% voted in the last municipal election, or 29,000 ballots out of a possible 105,000. Do better Guelph. Stop complaining and VOTE!

19Partial definition of progressive: “Progressive politics is a left-leaning political philosophy advocating for social and economic reform through government action to improve the human condition.” In other words, bigger government, higher taxes, more pet projects. No, I’m not a fan of that kind of progress, particularly at the municipal level.

30She's been my councillor for about 6 years now, and I'm underwhelmed by her work on my behalf. OCG is right, same ol', would just be a different pile.

24Same old - how do you think we got in this pickle. She's too one-sided working too closely with heritage committee members. That's not the kind of change I want. What exactly has SHE done other than be on council this long. How does Guelph ever change without change. Has done nothing special for our ward or the City. Gosh no!

19Don’t forget there was also an additional $600,000+ spent on snow removal for the bike lanes.

OPINION: Policy is fine, but traffic calming starts at home
8There are numerous and I mean numerous things I find wrong with this article. I can not even pinpoint the most absurd thing wrong. This reads more like a drunk guy ranting and raving, all the while, confusing definitions of words; as well as, misrepresenting what other people have said or claimed. If you guys need a proofreader, I AM available for hire.

8Why would you say that? Ms Caron is intelligent, well-spoken, and extemely experienced in municipal government. Obviously an excellent candidate with the most experience and caring about our city.

6But Al gore has claimed that parts of the world would be snow and ice free by now..."Buy my doom and gloom book, and book me as a public speaker while I het all over the world, live in my heated and Air controlled mansion with a bigger footprint then some small towns..."

20I recommend research to understand the difference between local weather and global climate.Plus I'm always concerned with those who cite specific individual examples to absolve themselves from seeing reality and from taking any personal responsibility. It's unhelpful.
