Stephanie Stretch finished just behind Aislinn last October with third place way off. Are we close enough to the vote that Barry would offer the vacant spot to Stephanie? I would be fine with that, I have voter fatigue. If she turns it down I would go to an election.
Maybe Barry just goes straight for an election, who knows. If we go to an election and Stephanie doesn't run my early favourite would be Brooklin, if she throws her hat in the ring. Maybe Simon Guthrie takes aim too.
Clancy - 1765
Stretch - 1650
Davis - 513
Not a fan for Brooklin. She made some fairly strong but untrue comments, over of Reddit ((EDIT, it was Twitter)), which I called her out on. In her post, she was attacking city staff and council for not doing enough to prevent a certain incident from happening. (It was the case where a Waterloo woman apparently made racist remarks to a person of a different ethnic, at the Drive Test facility). I pointed out the incident had nothing to do with Kitchener, if for any reason the parties involved were not from Kitchener, nor was the facility run by the city. I pointed out that city staff and council does a lot more than just about every city - especially considering all of our community services that cost us hundred of millions.
She did admit that she didn't know any of the details of this event, but there lies the problem. Calling other people out for things they didn't do, nor have any control over, is simply wrong.
