RE: Waterloo City Council Election Discussion - tvot - 10-22-2018 RE: Waterloo City Council Election Discussion - Spokes - 10-22-2018 I laughed when I saw some people like his platform idea wanting to limit alcohol licenses moving forward. People, he's a bar owner. He's trying to limit the competition haha RE: Waterloo City Council Election Discussion - YKF - 10-22-2018 (10-22-2018, 02:22 AM)Spokes Wrote: I laughed when I saw some people like his platform idea wanting to limit alcohol licenses moving forward.

RE: Waterloo City Council Election Discussion - Spokes - 10-22-2018 I'll maintain your anonymity. I got your back. RE: Waterloo City Council Election Discussion - Veggieburger - 10-22-2018 So, does anyone know if tonight's results push the council in a more NIMBY or YIMBY direction? RE: Waterloo City Council Election Discussion - Spokes - 10-22-2018 I know Tenille who was just elected in Uptown was opposed to 70 King North So take that how you'd like RE: Waterloo City Council Election Discussion - Veggieburger - 10-22-2018 Yeah, I saw that. But she also used the #yimby hashtag on twitter, which left me confused.

RE: Waterloo City Council Election Discussion - jamincan - 10-23-2018 To be clear, someone can be opposed to a development and not be a NIMBY. RE: Waterloo City Council Election Discussion - YKF - 10-23-2018 Tenille struck me as a YIMBY during the Rogers debate. She clearly stated what she liked and didn't like about the proposed development. RE: Waterloo City Council Election Discussion - Spokes - 10-23-2018 I'm moreso curious about what her stance on future developments will be like. RE: Waterloo City Council Election Discussion - Spokes - 11-21-2018 Did anyone else see Uptown candidate Devon McKenzie call out winning candidate Tenille Bonoguore at 2am on Twitter last night? Tweet was removed some time today RE: Waterloo City Council Election Discussion - Viewfromthe42 - 11-21-2018 Call out for what?

Did he blame his loss on Anthony Reinhart pointing out the shady election parties scheduled for his establishment or is this something new? I would have been shocked if he won. Non-residents are generally a tougher sell, and in general the voting demographics are home-owners and more-permanent-than-student-residents, both of whom are less likely to be attracted to voting for a bar owner compared to other businesses. Add to that his non-appearance to the in-person debate -- which was packed full -- and I would have been shocked if he had placed any higher than he did. On another fringe-candidate-note: did anyone else find out that the other male Waterloo Mayoral candidate had a private twitter account with a less professional headshot and only 4 followers? When I accidentally found it I tried to figure out a way to get any information but the best I could find was some mentions by other people adding to my suspicions that he comes from the right-wing, possibly alt-right side of the political spectrum. I couldn't' decide whether to bring up the account during the election, but since I didn't think he had a chance of winning I decided not to bother. |
