What do you see as the key to overcoming Debbie Chapman's incumbency advantage?
Honestly? Talking to as many people as possible is the current plan. I'm fairly confident in my ability to convince undecided voters, and, hopefully, I can inspire a younger group of voters to come out and vote, too.
If anyone has advice I'd love it though, incumbency is hard to beat and I need all the help I can get!
I saw my first Brooklin signs today, on the (Kitchener) E side of Victoria, near Garment St. 👍
My unscientific assessment is that the condo dwellers will, in general, tend to be more progressive, and will tend to recognize the challenges we have in the community even if they do own nice condos. So, please don't overlook canvassing the condo buildings if your schedule allows that.
I am mystified by Chapman's assertion that people (individual people!) are investing in condos only to keep them vacant and off the market. It makes no sense at all for an investor to do that when the property appreciation is anything but guaranteed. We need housing of all types, and all of it helps the current shortage.
