Honestly, I was just about to post a summary of that interview, he comes off as not the being the best losers
what would you have done differently?
I should have hired at least 4 people, should have had councillors working for me - mitchell, strickland, they had their their constituents vote for seiling so he got all those extra votes, that was the difference.
Did you run a negative campaign?
No, didn't run negative campaign, wanted to tell people that seiling has done nothing in 30 years, and in fact anything he has touched he has damaged. That's what the people voted for.
Was it worth it?
100% - got people's attention saying the region is going in the wrong direction - was 1 vs 12, didn't have incumbents supporting him, did well since he was all on his own
what about the toronto firm, did they bring a negative tone?
it's funny how people look at this, they don't look at the record of mr seiling - the media was all patting seiling on the back telling him he did a good job - that's okay.
manager did a marvelous job, would hire him again and again
did you plan to run again?
you never know.
how much did you spend?
Doesn't know, but whatever he spent it was worth it. Enjoyed listening to the people and all of their problems. Glad he didn't win because he couldn't have worked with the elected council - it would have been life in hell, would have been impossible to work with them.
Was LRT the reason he entered?
Yes, it started with LRT but then when he look into it he realized we have terrible debt loads, no affordable housing. Loise D'amato mistook affordable housing and non-profit housing, that should be brought up. Region is trying to hide behind churches wrt the homeless.
Can let still be stopped?
Looking forward to see what happens, see what happens to the businesses during construction, what happens to the citizens when our taxes go up
he is going to say "I told you so", everybody will see it and learn it when it happens. Won't impact him, he's moving his business away from LRT. LRT is going to kill our region, not on-time, not on budget. The weber st overpass is already late and over-budget . Wants to hold everybody responsible who has said it will be on-time and on-budget.
How certain is he of his numbers w.r.t. debt levels he came up.
Very certain, come december we will be at 540, 548 million. Even the record has said that I am right. then onto a tangent - When you have one newspaper in town and they back up one candidate you have nothing left. The media should not be taking sides, that's what democracy is all about. Very disappointed with the record taking a position, taking a position with mr. seiling. They don't even have their stories straight.
What did you say to Mr. Seiling
Congratulations, all the best for the next 4 years. Keep up the work.
