Andrew James replied to JC's discussion Anyone But Fletcher"A municipality can pass by-laws, including voting by-laws, which don't conflict with provincial law. That principle was exemplified in the pesticide ban cases.
Requiring that the "other mark" to be a preference ranking number in…"
Egg Flik replied to JC's discussion Anyone But Fletcher"Non-voters are not an indication of absence of a wish for change. I know you just bought this up as a suggestion, and I wanted to do the same.
I think non-voters have no right to complain. There is responsibility in being a citizen, and voting is…"

Egg Flik replied to JC's discussion Anyone But Fletcher"The Province of Ontario won't be convinced of any of this. They literally give away industries to other countries, so why would they care about municipal politics?

Hedi replied to JC's discussion Anyone But Fletcher"I, for one, am glad to see Paula back. And we'll need a few more like here now that (the name who cannot be spoken) is mayor so that the city doesn't fall to rot."
Pat replied to JC's discussion Anyone But Fletcher"Thanks, Andrew, for the clarifications. Much appreciated. So if enough pressure was brought to bear on councillors across the city, this could come to pass, regardless of who is in power provincially, and what any prior provincial governments may…"

Angie Tingas replied to JC's discussion Anyone But Fletcher"Perhaps Ms. Fletcher won, a shame if she can't see that the citizens are concerned... I think the Leslieville portion of the city will be treated far better with polar differences such as Mary-Margaret having to deal with Paula on certain key…"

Mark Dewdney replied to JC's discussion Anyone But Fletcher"I'm positive we can get that done. Make it an issue in the upcoming provincial election - electoral reform's got to be right up there if we want a system that obviates the complaints about vote-splitting."
Pat replied to JC's discussion Anyone But Fletcher"It still requires an amendment of the Municipal Elections act 1996 by the Provincial Government to implement these changes, does it not? Which means the province has to be convinced.

Mark Dewdney replied to JC's discussion Anyone But Fletcher"Another thing that would help with the "withdrawn" candidates would be a closed-computer system (ie, one with no inputs, solely a system that's physically closed, with no access to the programming).
That way, even the night before,…"
Mark Dewdney replied to JC's discussion Anyone But Fletcher"I encourage everyone to stay in touch with their candidates and find out if they're willing to commit to 2014.
