Will it be incumbent Linda Bruce for mayor?

She seems to have done a fine job, and has done some extensive campaigning. However, her election platform includes a forecasted 4-6% tax increase.

How about Ross Mann?

Young whipper snapper who coined the original phrase "The Airdrie Advantage". He plans to cut taxes, and set up a law preventing tax increases above inflation. He also plans to halt new construction projects at least until every project on the go is complete.

How about Edward Skelding?

"Get off my lawn you damn kids!!" - Plans to set up a curfew for the young folk.
Plans to freeze the tax rate. Plans to use military experience to whip city hall into shape.

Lastly, what about Peter Brown?

I have no idea what he stands for. Something about charities or something.


Can we get a poll?

This is such foolish politicking. So the people in Airdrie have agreed to no new civic services?
