What motivated you to run for council, and why do you believe now is the right time for new leadership in your ward?
Economics, the reckless spending and disregard for taxpayers, as the city favors the wayward over those who are invested in safe, beautiful communities, for our families.
Every ward has its own unique challenges. What do you believe are the top three issues facing residents in your ward today, and how would you address them?
The narcotics traffickers at both ends of my street,
The frequency of Police & EMS attending to people who should be in either prison, or safe and rural mental health facilities.
The incompetence of Bylaw enforcement, to get Renters & Slumlords to keep their properties attractive and maintained.
Municipal government often requires balancing competing interests and difficult budget decisions. How would you approach making tough decisions at City Hall?
I've owned a business, and you don't squander money.
City Hall are tax & spend, oblivious to the pains of those paying, so I'd focus on the Safety of residents and the roads, which are abysmal.
What experience, skills, or perspective do you bring that distinguishes you from other candidates seeking the same council seat?
I've owned a business,
I've participated in philanthropic activities all my life, so I understand Giving & Budgets.
What is the best way for voters to contact you and/or learn more about you?
I'm on Facebook. HamOnt, Ward 3 is a group open to residents to ask questions.
I enjoy debate, I do call things as I see them, and that upsets some, but that's okay. Some people need thicker skin and or to mature.
Cheers,
Graham
