I don’t know what this dork thought he was doing, but if it was anything other than being painfully unfunny, showing off his rotten judgment and probably losing an election, I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news. Also, if one person booing you is enough to make you storm off in a huff like that, …
Who Are These People? Local Candidates Try To Answer
Another helpful who should I vote for in the municipal election guide, this time thanks to CBC Kitchener-Waterloo.
