These fall days are beautiful with the sun setting quicker and quicker. Everyone appreciates having a home and I respect signs on mailboxes with notes on no flyers, no junk mail or soliciting. In criss crossing the ward, over the years I meet lots of different people. In having a conversation with a Green Party candidate I ask him what is the Green Party’s stance on putting political brochures in mailboxes. Their stance is that this is political literature and does not fall under flyers. In handing out political materials only once have I seen a note on a mail box to not put political material in the mail box which I followed.
Of course there are few ways a person running for office can promote themselves on a smaller budget. My opposition has labour support and can raise the maximum amount of over $46,000 in a week. For my campaign I like to say the “Winnipegger frugal way” a political flyer is the most practical. I appreciate being able to talk to people, see the ward and recognize the different needs in the process.
To off set the use of trees for my campaign’s political flyers I promise if elected I will move that city buildings in our ward change to hand dryers. Thus reducing the use of paper from trees, filling our landfill with waste and the plastic used to haul the paper away. It could be a different manufacture but this video shows the impact on our environment and the overall savings.
Thank you for checking out my site and considering me as your next city councillor.
