In a shed at the port in the lower west side I believe.

There has increasingly been news reports about immigration to NB from other areas of the world, citing that most of them are going to SJ. I wonder how many of these immigrants are staying in the city rather than heading to Central Canada...

I've refrained from posting about it until now, but the Ward 3 by-election is coming up on Monday and I want to encourage everyone who reads this forum [and their friends and family] who is eligible to go vote. Voter turnout has been extremely poor for municipal elections lately, and I want to see that turn around, especially in our most urban - and most important - neighbourhoods.

I must admit though, this is partially a self-serving message, as I am a candidate in the election.

So please, go vote!

Well, your veil of anonymity has been lifted kwajo, now we all know who you are......

Interesting, a good friend of mine is a GP in Sackville and his name is Graeme Stewart too, same spelling, but no hyphenation.

Good luck in the upcoming election. I'm sure you would be an excellent city councillor. You are following in a tradition of political involvement by SSP forumers. Waye Mason was elected to council in the last HRM election, and spastin placed second in his district in the same election.

If I was in Saint John, I would vote for you!!

Do you have a website?

cdnguys · #**8827** Posted **May 12, 2013, 5:16 PM**

Good luck - I like your answer about 4 plex in TJ article. I know my family will be voting for you as we have last time

Peter_johnns · #**8828** Posted **May 12, 2013, 8:12 PM**

Good luck, you are the only truly credible candidate. If you don't win it will be because of old boys' club politics... sadly typical for NB city councils

Wolkenkratzerliebhab · #**8829** Posted **May 12, 2013, 9:24 PM**

I hope you win, your just what Saint John needs, an honest person who really cares about the city's best interests at heart.

. Good luck!

Ire Narissis · #**8830** Posted **May 13, 2013, 2:08 PM**

Yes, please defeat Michelle Hooton. I can't express in words the extent of my distaste for her.

Two photos I shot today of the progress of a new commercial building being constructed on the old Rothesay Road in Saint John, near the Irving station.

Exact opposite of the type of person who got elected..

Whaler · #**8833** Posted **May 17, 2013, 1:40 PM**

Actually, it was a very good election win for Saint John!
Finally we have someone with the experience and background to be on council.
We don't need lawyers or teachers......we need business people.
This is what won in this case!

Fischbob · #**8834** Posted **May 17, 2013, 2:53 PM**

I don't know much else about Lowe, but I do know he's been on PAC and was also part of the Citizens' Advisory Committee for PlanSJ. This suggests he might be someone who 'gets it' when it comes to planning issues. Hopefully this is indeed the case!

DreDay · #**8835** Posted **May 17, 2013, 6:04 PM**

Just read an article that Lowe has nothing special to bring to council, except that he's going to push to development the vacant lots around the city..

Peter_johnns · #**8836** Posted **May 17, 2013, 7:26 PM**

Lowe has no experience relevant to the job in this day and age. Is he educated? No, he just had a few shabby businesses.
He was quoted in the CBC saying "what they said was garbage"...very articulate...

He is just another Susan Fullerton, looking out for his own business interests.
NO idea how he won by so much.
Stewart- Robertson is an environmental geographer— that is the type of people council needs.
But please, prove me wrong, Lowe

I believe he should have a chance to prove his worth on council!
Hopefully he will be a team player and help keep things moveing in the right direction!

Susan Fullerton is a personal friend of mine. An interesting person to be sure, but as a public servant I would never vote for her. In fact, I didn't.

Agreed, hopefully he does something with the job.. I guess we'll see..

It appears as though some folks on here have no idea who Gerry is?
He has had many successfull businesses. If you know him even a little bit you wouldn't be making those comments.
I have known him for many years as well as some of the other canidates.
You all just watch......
