Political Shenanigans

Awhile ago, I decided to vote for Terri Chu for city councillor. I asked for her sign to be put in my front garden.
Recently I received an anonymous note in my mailslot trying to discredit her. I read on a neighbourhood social media site that other neighbours received the same note.
And, suddenly, Terri Chu's sign was gone from my garden, yet the other two that were there remained untouched. (There are multiple voters in the house.)
Dirty pool.
And it only cements my decision to vote for her.

BTW -- get out and vote Monday. And, if you don't, don't complain about who wins the election.

Annex Residents' Association Candidate Forums October 16 and 23

We're casting municipal ballots on Monday, October 27th and there are a lot of new faces in the mix.
I've had a lot of postcards dropped off and candidates knocking on my door, but hearing a candidate speak at a forum can provide a different type of insight.
The Annex Residents' Association is holding two election forums in conjunction with nearby residents' associations. 

Here's the scoop:
"
Candidates Forums - October 16th and 23rd
The Annex Residents’ Association, together with our neighboring community organizations (the Harbord Village Residents’ Association, Huron Sussex Residents' Organization, Seaton Village Residents’ Association and the Bloor - Annex and the Harbord Street BIAs) is sponsoring two forums so the residents of Ward 20 can hear from their local candidates.
The forum to hear the candidates for Councillor for Ward 20:
Date: Thursday, October 16th
Time: 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm
Place: Trinity-St Paul’s Centre (Bloor Street W. at Robert)

The forum to hear the candidates for School Trustees for Ward 10 (our trustee ward) will take place a week later:
Date: Thursday, October 23rd
Time: 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm
Place: Trinity-St Paul’s Centre (Bloor Street W. at Robert)"

Cheers,
Vanessa
PS I can tell you how NOT to impress people while campaigning door-to-door: don't stand in front of people's living room windows, gesturing for them to go to their door, in advance of a candidate ringing the doorbell. Rude and intrusive! And not likely to result in a vote.
