Opinion: 'Six out of nine of our city leaders are not representing me'

The three city leaders that voted to keep public notices in the paper are Mayor Simon Yu and Councillors Trudy Klassen and Brian Skakun.

People who never even voted will tell you “I voted for you.”

You know, if a third of eligible voters turn out and vote, that`s good. Out of that third, eight out of ten are seniors.

Like me, they read the paper and don`t waste too much time on Facebook. While I use the computer and look up stuff, it can be challenging and I find computers are not senior-friendly.

So six out of nine of our city leaders are not representing me because they don`t read the paper, nor advertise in the paper, nor support this local business.

Looks like, if the city lost this business, would it bother these city leaders, who really should be supporting businesses in their town!

So seniors, if they get re-elected, it`s your fault. The three city leaders that voted to keep public notices in the paper are Mayor Simon Yu and Councillors Trudy Klassen and Brian Skakun.

As shown on page three of the  August 24th newspaper, cut that out, put it on your fridge, beside your grandchildren`s art, and in three years you`ll remember who to vote for.
