2022 municipal election publicity

[ac3r]

I work in Cambridge and all of my colleagues I've talked to voted for Liggett. There was a real hatred for McGarry because she apparently caters to the homeless (yes, I've been told that the homeless from BC are flocking to Cambridge because they are treated so well here). Obviously everyone was against having a big amazon warehouse right beside the 401. They also seem to believe that public schools put out litter boxes for furries... so yeah - that's a sample of Liggett's voting base.

I am not surprised...FWIW...I don't know where the rhetoric is coming from, but there seems to be far more hatred of homeless and vulnerable people in general in Cambridge, than in Kitchener (despite Kitchener having a lot of people suffering as well). Claims like "people are flocking here" are pretty transparently lies meant to make it easier to hate hese people because it others them, and makes them seem less sympathetic.

So I really have no idea why that rhetoric is so prevalent in Cambridge. But I also think McGarry has done a poor job politically, which is to say, I agree with most of her policies, but I don't feel like she's been really deeply engaged with the Cambridge electorate...which is a surprising failure for a career politician.

That being said, I also rarely go to Cambridge so what do I know

Not too different from blaming immigration for various problems. Same trashy, ignorant rhetoric they use to rally the uninformed.
