Considered voting for Thiessen but he’s polling too low.
I’m willing to give Farkas a chance. I do think he has changed and grown since losing the mayoral race 4 years ago, though I know many are skeptical. I voted Gondek last time as the anti-Farkas option.
Some reasons why I’m not voting for Gondek: - Let the 2019 arena agreement collapse due to $10M road/sidewalk and climate mitigation costs. New deal is much worse for taxpayers
- Poor / confusing communications during water main crisis
- Declaring climate emergency as first major priority after getting elected
- Supported pitching up to $100,000 of City money toward the legal fight against Quebec’s Bill 21
- Along with council, passed Single-use items bylaw which was then repealed due to massive unpopularity

The biggest issue for me is she got absolutely steamrolled by the province on the Green Line. We need someone with more backbone to stand up to the UCP going forward.
