With the Election Day just a few days away, I will make this my last post. Below, please find an overview of my platform and campaign.
I encourage you to stack up everything I am proposing against the other candidates. While I know for a fact they all have worked very hard during their campaigns, no other candidate has provided as much detail as I have provided on how to achieve the goals proposed. Our beloved city is not healthy. Now is not a moment in Windsor’s history for talk, we need action.
On Monday, October …

Last week, A-News invited all Ward 4 candidates to ride the bus with their constituents and answer their questions. Here is the piece put together by A’s Cristina Howorun:

During March of this past year, Gladstone Ave., a section of a Transit Windsor bus route was under construction and the road was closed. This resulted in the rerouting of the Walkerville 8 down the 1100 and 1200 blocks of Chilver Rd.
Even though the construction date was known well in advance, there was no consultation with the residents that would be affected. This is particularly important because this section of Chilver is a main route for children walking to and from King Edward Public school as well as Walkerville Collegiate …

Some people will tell you that a partial solution has already been made in removing big trucks off of Wyandotte St. E. A press release (above) was sent out stating that Chrysler was agreeing not to send their trucks down Wyandotte St. E. However, there was a key inclusion in the press release. It said “Except for delivery trucks”. So I personally emailed Fred Pernal of Chrysler Group Transport who was listed on the press release. In his response he went on to say, and I quote, …

I would like to take the opportunity to thank the Windsor Square, Refine Fitness, Big Tony’s, moderator Jake Rondot and everyone who attended tonight’s Ward 4 Candidate’s Debate.
In mingling with the audience after the event, feedback seems to be swaying in the direction of myself coming out on top.
To provide those who were not in attendance an opportunity to form their own opinion, videos of the entire debate will be posted shortly. In the meantime, please enjoy both my opening and closing statements from the evening:
If you’ve gone around Windsor …

Much noise has been made about the lack of debates being held for individual wards throughout Windsor. Thankfully, one has now been organized for Ward 4 allowing its residents the opportunity to have some of their concerns addressed directly from each candidate.
The debate will commence at 8:15pm on Wednesday, October 13, 2010 at Walkerville Colligiate at 2100 Richmond. It should last until approximately 10:00pm.
I encourage you to attend and become informed on where each Ward 4 candidate stands on the issues throughout the ward and city as well as what …

As promised, here is the video clip of my speech given on TVCogeco Cable 11.

I recently spoke with a resident of Wyandotte St. E. in Old Walkerville. She indicated that she has to check at least once a week how far items on her shelves have moved because of the tremors from big rigs speeding by.
While the truck traffic is visible during the day it increases, and with higher speeds, in the late hours of the evening or very early hours of the morning. It is only a matter of time until it becomes more than just a nuisance to home owners and that someone’s life is put …
