Young council candidates

Posted by Tim Bousquet on Fri, Sep 12, 2008 at 9:26 AM

I don't have any problem with young people running for council---there are a heck of a lot of young people in this city that need representation, and the older crowd isn't much taking them into account, so why not?

What I have a problem with is young people running for council who merely mouth the same bullshit everyone else running for council mouths. I haven't seen anything, from any council candidate, young or old, that shows anything more than a superficial grasp of the issues.

Survey Asks

Do you agree with Halifax's school board cutting 152 teachers?

  • Yes, the board needs to meet its shrinking budget.
  • Only if managers and bureaucracy get a similar cut.
  • I don't care, I support the private education system.
  • No, giving young citizens the best education is too important to cut.
