    It’s Canada, municipal politicians are typically people who cannot otherwise get employment.

      This doesn’t nullify the point. Most politicians worldwide are typically people who can’t otherwise get employment. Or they’re people who can only get employment by being golden parachuted in by daddy

      Edit: also…from the guys campaign page:

      Since 2019, I’ve been building The Rogerie.

      Starting as a farmers market booth beside the mall, my wife and I began turning plastic waste into new products in our laundry room. Seven painful years later, and we have a pretty awesome shop downtown by Sprout (come check it out!) where you’ll find me just about every day.

      So he’s a small business owner. And was previously employed in manufacturing automation/robotics.

        I hope he gets elected, but my local idiots are always promising to fix all the infrastructure while lowering taxes. Spoiler alert: neither will happen.

          I’ll fix infrastructure, while cutting a significant part of the funding we receive to pay for things like fixing infrastructure! Will I keep my promise? If I do I will take bids starting at $30k to decide what essential service is cut to fund infrastructure repairs!
