Two More & A New Poll!

I can’t say I am completely surprised at the results of the Campaign Sign poll. What did catch me off guard was the numbers. I know people didn’t find much use for them, but 90% of the 69 votes said no to Campaign Sign helping in their decision-making. All the money and time that candidates waste in putting up signs and it all maybe for nothing. I’m sure it’s not a complete loss as just the sight of them on a regular basis may help your brain recall their name when at the voting booth when you’re not sure who the last few votes should go to.

With the Campaign Sign poll over a week old I have decided to started a new poll. I had a request that I put up a poll to see who the site visitors are going to vote for in the mayoral race. I have left the Campaign Sign poll open if you’d still like to vote on that one as well, so let your voice be heard!

I have also received two responses from council candidates in the past few days. Thanks you to Murry Krause and  Dave Wilbur for participating in this blog. That just leaves council candidates Brian Skakun, Lyn Hall, Brad Gagnon, John Beebe, Scot Affleck and Mayoral Candidates Eugene Fetterly, and Alex Huber left to respond. I hope they respond soon as the election is only 8 days away and people need to have their information to make informed decisions.

I would also like to thank council candidate Garth Frizzell for inviting me to the town hall meeting on his election website www.garthworks.ca. I will be one of a few asking him question during this time and you the public will be able to listen to his responses. The town Hall meeting is going to Thursday Nov 18th at 07:00pm, so go by his site and check it out. If you have any questions you think I should ask leave your question in the comment section.

Integrity Stations

Do you feel ready for the upcoming election? In blogging about the election over the past month I feel ready one day and then a candidate will say something that will make me change my mind. Making a decision can be tough sometimes. The only thing we can do as citizens is arm our self’s with information about each candidate and hope that they have some integrity and do what they say they were going to do.

We are only 10 days away from election day. The last public forum was last night at the College of New Caledonia hosted by the Prince George Chamber of Commerce & the Prince George Library. I had been to every forum until last night. I decided to try using another medium that was offered at this forum instead of being there in person. That medium was a live stream of the forum via the Prince George Public Library website. I hope this medium continues to be offered more often in the future as nothing beats sitting in the comfort of my couch with a bowl of popcorn. There were some technical difficulties at time during the stream, but nothing that could not be fixed for the next time. Funny thing is with the use of Twitter I was able to communicate with people at the forum. There were some great responses by a few of the candidates, but for the most part the same things were getting recycled over and over again. Some great questions got asked and the format was good as every candidate had different questions. Nothing makes a forum more boring than listening to 25 candidates answer the same question for an hour and all saying the same thing.  The last two forums are private forums. Wednesday Nov 9th up at UNBC for a political science class (Mayoral Candidates only) and one on November 14th at the Ramada for the Prince George Construction Association. So if you did not make it out to any of the other forums then this is your only resource left to form your list.

In other thoughts; have you been wondering where you can go to vote for this upcoming civic election. Well fret no more as I have dug up the information for you from the city of Prince George website. A good chap here in town as even gone a step further and mapped it out for you on his website sparkgeo.com.

Qualified electors can vote from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm at any of the following voting places:

Local Media: Mayoral Candidates

So in an attempt to clean up the blog feed I have compacted the past Local Media post into a couple of posts. The first is a Mayoral post of links to past articles about the candidates for mayor. The second post is links to past articles about council candidates.  From now on I will blog post of media stuff for the day instead of separately. This will make things nicer looking and easier for you the reader to keep tack of. I will try to include as many article links as possible, but if I miss any please leave a comment in the comments section below so that other users of the site can go to them. First off is links to past articles for Mayoral Candidates

Prince George Citizen – Candidates’ first face off

The first all candidates forum was on Saturday October 15th, 2011 at the Fire Pit down town on third avenue. The topic of this forum was Homelessness in Prince George.  The Prince George Citizen did up a great article here”Candidates’ first face off“. Check it out to see how some of the candidates did. The next forum is on October 19th, 2011 at UNBC by the political science department. As soon as I have a room number and time I will update this post.

Welcome

I have been looking around for City of Prince George Election news and haven’t found a place that covers it all. I have been asked by many people if there is such a place that they can go to read about each candidate,what their platform is, and what they hope to achieve if elected. In failing to find a place I have taken it upon myself to try to put something together so that others can get informed. This site is for people looking for a comprehensive place to get all their Prince George Election Information in one shot. If you have anything you would like to add to the site please e-mail me at kcreamore@gmail.com.

This is going to be an unbiased blog and I would hope that any slagging of candidates be left off the site. There is no room for attacks on people here and rude comments will be deleted.
