I did. Ward 11 at the Riverbend Community Center, about 45 minutes and there were about a couple dozen people ahead of me when I walked in. Apparently been about that busy all day since they opened.
I probably threw my votes away (and really didn’t want to vote for any party…) but voted for Thiessen for mayor, Williams for councillor and Close for public trustee.
I didn’t vote for either Penner or Ward last time and my impressions of them
have not changed since last election, so Williams it was. He was also the only candidate of the three to actually come door to door in our community so far.
I was not impressed with how much Gondek let Danielle Smith walk all over her during her first term, but probably should have strategically voted for her anyways. I don’t Thiessen has a chance but he’s the one I’ve been most impressed with thus far. Either way, I didn’t throw my vote to a UCP shill so I can live with my choice. Close has been the trustee forever so no problems voting for her again.
