I know how Dennis Green felt - Mayoral Debate

I knew who Judy Wasylycia-Lies was when she started the forum, and I let her off the hook. I got to ask the first question during the question period, which I used to ask about how the candidates would help families instil respect for communities in their children. I meant to include "how do you get the parents to take the kids to the community centers?", but being green to the media game I missed it, and Judy rambled about community centers.
Richard Cloutier should check his facts. I am a Ozzie Gullien fan, not a White Sox fan - I cheer for the A's, Jays, Twins, and of course the Brew Crew (Brewers) - The A's are my team for the record.
Other than those faux pas' (some one get Chris Petty on this grammar) I thought forum was great. Sam Katz is quite the speaker. It was almost as if Judy was setting him up. What the love is she thinking. I got the documents in the garage. Yeah, you wanna see my old paint, and the toilet I used before the renovation. C'mon, I thought this was political hardball, not No Talent League slo-pitch. Sam Katz returned that one like was on the Jose Canseco steroid diet. Katz guaranteed that you can find his info on the internet, rather than his garage - makes sense.
I never thought that I would vote for Sam, but I was enchanted by his speaking, and I have to admit that we made eye contact several times, and it was magical. But seriously when I asked that question that Judy waffled on I knew she is not mayoral material. She seems like follower, not a leader. Judy also seems like a contrarian, because she has only one new idea, raising property tax, and Sam shredded that information. Sam on the other the other hand (still waffling somewhat), answered my question. He talked about getting all levels of government involved, and helping dysfunctional, poor, and single parent families. I know that is a generic answer, but at least I felt like I asked a good question. Call it cliché if you wish, but I really felt like Sam was listening to the people.
Can I say that I will vote for Sam? No. Let’s just say that my boy Rav Gill may have lost a vote on Wednesday even though I like that he has different ideas, but Steve V. schooled CreComm on how little the Mayor can do without support from the council.
Am I getting sucked in buy the Sam Katz charm? Who knows?
The points that really affected me (someone please get Petty on this word use) were Sam’s assertion that Judy has no useful experience in the real world. Sure promoting events is a dream for most, but it is a REAL job. My friend Dale Kibbins does it, and until you get to a Katz level it is often hard, thankless work.
Judy had no response these kind of attacks from Sam, and I fret to think of how she would respond to Harper if she needed help.
Oh yeah “conservative” mayor will be better for Winnipeg. The federal government I believe needs to be wooed a little bit more than the provincial one, because the Provincial government is invested directly in the province. The federal government id invested in the overall well being of the country primarily. Plus Harper already does well in the west.
