Yeah, he's not my favourite either but I'm probably gonna vote for him.
He seems to be a pretty middle of the road candidate, and with so much turnover on city council I'm okay with voting for an incumbent I'm okay with just for a little bit of continuity.

That being said, I looked a bit at other candidates I wouldn't mind if Naomi Withers won, her website seems to have some good information and a little bit more substance than a lot of the other candidates websites. I do get mixed feelings about her section on planning and development.

I'm going to actually vote for school trustee for the first time too (David Barrett), mostly just because I know him a little bit from the community association and have worked on a project with him.
