Elections are our best hope for accountability

Accountabilty is the cure for the incumbency habit.  First, to achieve change people must be aware of the need to change.

Voters must be informed, engaged and active. People must have the skill to debate tough issues and agree to disagree if necessary. This is not about positive or negative. You need both. Relationships are at stake.

The incumbents support each other ( I'm OK, you're OK) as a group without doubt, but the result is one of the worst performances. But, if you ask them they will say "we got stuff done".

Landsdowne was approved but was not discussed last election. A new dump was purchased. Again, this came from no where. LRT and public transit is in a shambles. Other stated objectives went to the sidelines. Businesses are closing, but just wait until the federal government slashes another 30,000 jobs from the public sector.

So will voters hold this gang of 25 to account? As well they should, and must? This is not about personalities any longer, it is about results. The City Council imbued with power and responsibility must also be  accountable to the voters.

The judgement comes but once every four years. Voters, do your duty!
