All politics is local so get out and vote

  • October 2, 2014

They say all politics is local and that municipal politics is closer to our everyday lives than any level of government. It鱿鱼视频app about water, sewage and garbage pickup. It鱿鱼视频app about street-light repairs, safe pedestrian crosswalks and parks where our children can play.聽

So, as we head into another round of municipal elections on Oct. 27 across Ontario (and in B.C., Manitoba and PEI), why are we voters so apathetic? Historically, less than half of voters cast a ballot in municipal elections in Ontario, according to AMCTO (the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario).聽

It鱿鱼视频app rather pathetic. Why don鈥檛 we exercise our right to either 鈥渒ick the bums out鈥 or reward hard-working and capable people who serve us? By ignoring the voting booth, we鈥檙e basically acting like Pontius Pilate and washing our hands of any responsibility on how our cities run, or don鈥檛 run.聽
