How will Jenny pay for all her promises? More police, all new electric buses, more roads, more bridges. How will she pay? She won't.
Her main campaign argument is "I'm the only one who stands a slight chance of beating Bowman. Vote for me!" When your main point is beating up on the opponent, as opposed to focusing on your platform, no thanks. I'll stick with mediocre Bowman.
How will Bowman pay for all his promises? Oh that’s right, he’s raising taxes yet again. At least Jenny would cut the spending on the barely rapid transit.
If Bowman is so mediocre then why even vote for him, there’s another option, don’t vote at all. The point of voting is not to go and vote for someone just for the hell of it, it’s about making a choice. But hey have fun paying more taxes and fees on everything to pay for stuff we don’t need.
See how that works. People have opinions. I'll vote for who I want to vote for. Same with you. I will vote for Bowman, so he can beat Jenny. Regardless of candidate competency, one must vote. I always vote, even fi its' choosing between a douche and a turd sandwich.
Jenny is a Donald Trump candidate. Instead of living in reality, she needs to beat up on her opponents. This is why I'm not voting for her.
As for Bowman, he's trying to follow the transportation master plan on Rapid Transit. The official City plan for transportation. As he should be.

One person's "stuff we don't need" is another person's "stuff we should have had 30 years ago". Better late than never. Winnipeggers are so damn cheap. I'm sick of falling behind the rest of the country.

We need to provide a reason for people to stay.

I watched the debate on CBC I think it was last week. It was just that. Jenny M was basically mad. The rest were rambling on. Bowman just trying to stand pat haha.
That basically sums up the candidates. Bowman is a wiener. Jenny is mad. The rest don't stand a chance.
One mayoral candidate wants to dam the Panama Canal. Another thinks “drug homes” should be bulldozed on third offence and fondly recalls his childhood in Jamaica where they used “a combination of barks, leaves, herbs and marijuana” to treat ailments (“And it worked!”).
A cop-turned-mayor-hopeful wants to buy police new cellphones and directly bill criminals for doing crime. Yet another was actually arrested during the election for breaching a probation order and blamed the infraction on a stroke.
Welcome to Winnipeg, hosting one of Canada’s sadder municipal elections—fairly accurately compared to both an ‘80s sitcom and dumpster fire.
“Winnipeg has just given up,” said Kent Davies, creator of A Perfectly Cromulent Election — a Tumblr page which uses Simpsons memes to mock the election — in an interview with VICE Canada. “There’s a lack of vision. There’s a lack of quality candidates. And in some wards, incumbents are uncontested.”
This honestly makes me feel better about the election Thunder Bay had yesterday.
Quote:
exuberant candidate Umar Hayat requested the crowd applaud Motkaluk for doing a great job running “as a woman.” In another, filmmaker Ed Ackerman mimicked fellow candidate Don Woodstock’s Jamaican accent and used a Breaking Bad anecdote to ask cop candidate Tim Diack if he would support the police budget being cut by almost 300 per cent.
It's actually not that uncommon in Canadian municipal elections for mayor to have only a few credible candidates and a bunch of marginal ones. Happens all the time.
