Endorsing the Rational – Not the Ideological

I am paying some increased attention to our local municipal by-election in Winnipeg River Heights & Fort Garry. It is a race between a couple of independent or non-political party candidates. One is considered more ‘right wing’ while the other is more ‘left wing’. I would love to see that political typing system replaced!

Given my past anti-ideology posts, I am curious to see whether having two non-party-ideology candidates makes any difference in the tone of the election campaign and whether they will be more effective than the trained seals that most party MPs and MLAs become.

I will be supporting Geoff Currier as my candidate because from what I understand, he refuses to take an ideological position on any issues, but evaluate each according to his best judgment. Sounds refreshing to me. In addition, he is a fiscal conservative which aligns with my values of keeping government as small as possible.

Good luck Geoff!
