It's not there yet, but the forum was only last night and I think it takes a day or two for them to get them up.
It looks like Wilkie didn't attend it though, which is unfortunate. I don't have any great love for Carra, but none of the others have really done enough to change my vote. |
I fully agree. Not necessarily a Carra fan but the other candidates have done nothing for me. I will listen to the forum whenever it comes online but I am heavily leaning Carra at this point.
I am very conservative, but I have been less than impressed by Wilkie and Katz. I have trouble voting for Carra because it basically condemns me to higher taxes but at least his tax increases seem well thought out, a minor consolation to me. Wilkie and Katz appear to be promising tax cuts (or remaining at the same level) and increased spending (building LRTs etc.) which does not seem feasible. I am sure there are lots of places to cut in the city budget but I have yet to read anything meaningful on how Wilkie/Katz would cut to ensure we can maintain/increase infrastructure spending while not increasing taxes.
Basically if Wilkie or Katz had something more meaningful out there I would easily vote for a more "conservative" candidate, but I don't think they can live up to their platforms.
Also for some reason, not living in the Ward really bugs me, and it is my understanding neither Wilkie nor Katz does.
Strange election for me. Being a pretty right-wing guy (Wildrose voter) and probably voting for Nenshi and Carra.
