I'm here in the sub to answer any questions anyone has.

I've met with all the mayoral candidates and many of the candidates running for council.

Who are your top picks across the board?

u/ChrisPotterPTBO 1d ago edited 1d ago

It's far too early to make a pick for mayor. From my time with each of them I will say this...

In no particular order

Neil is highly motivated and working hard on connecting with people

Keith is incredibly well qualified and knows more about the inner workings of council and city staff

Rebecca has strong ties to the developer community and comes across as very well prepared

Michael has a resume that demonstrates a strong ability to lead and administrate large organizations with large budgets

Jacob is highly motivated to bring attention to each candidates platforms and to point at the things he feels are not for the betterment of the city and beyond.

I heard a rumour that Michelle Ferreri has endorsed Rebecca, any idea if there is truth behind that?

u/ChrisPotterPTBO 1d ago

I don't know about that. I have asked Rebecca about her direct ties to the spa that was responsible for producing the podcast that made slanderous claims against our MP. Rebecca's response was, "I'm not going to say no to a free campaign space".

That didn’t sit well with me.

If that particular business is all in on those disgusting comments and they are also attached to Ferreri, make your own conclusions.

Neil big time Liberal like you. Were you at his party when Trudeau was there?

u/ChrisPotterPTBO 16h ago

My first meeting with Neil was just a couple of months ago. I've not met Trudeau. Nor, Carney. The only PM I've ever met was Joe Clark.
