 Congratulations to Rino Bortolin, owner of the Black Kettle Bistro on his decision to run for City Councillor in Ward 3. I'll personally be supporting Rino and doing everything possible to help in his election campaign.
Slowy, but surely, candidates are beginning to step up and register their intent to run. As yet, we haven't seen any of the current Councillors register. Often, this is a strategy used by incumbents to discourage other candidates from running. A strategy such as this worked much better under the old five Ward, two Councillors per ward system. With the new smaller wards incumbents now risk giving newcomers a chance to define both themselves and their opponents on the doorsteps. An energetic candidate should be able to canvass the entire ward at least once, possibly twice if they start now. That kind of work can go a long way to erasing any name recognition advantage that an incumbent has.
