It’s hard not to have seen the countless number and colors of placards of the candidates running in this year’s municipal election for various appointments.
On more than one occasion I sat down through the pages and pages of candidates in our two local papers. Looking through I couldn’t help feel that the promises are copy and paste from one candidate to the other.
So how is one to choose? I honestly would be comfortable with a one per cent voter turnout rate if that one per cent were fully immersed in the issues and candidates.
I’ve heard such political anguishes as “I had to vote so I voted for Trudeau because he has the nicest hair,” unfortunately a true story. So if 37 per cent of Cochranites feel informed enough to make an educated vote then so be it.
I refuse to make an un-educated vote and I think the town is all the better for it.
