Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
This letter to the editor that ended up in the Guelph Mercury blog is a shining example of what I should have written 4 years ago when we first encountered the audio voting. I have to repeatedly ask myself why I didn’t send such a thing. It’s one thing to post here, but it’s another …

Wow! While I was busy raving about how awesome our voting process was, Jen, who often sends us ideas and stuff was having one hell of a horrible experience while voting in Hamilton’s municipal election. Here is what she said happened to her. Well in the first place they didn’t have the accessible machines available …
Some quick results/observations on a few of the Guelph election races: Karen Farbridge won another term as Mayor, beating David Birtwistle by around 4300 votes. I’m fine with this. Nothing is ever perfect, but for the most part I’m happy with how the city has been run since she came back in 2006. If I …
I meant to write this post earlier, but I got hit by a wave of tiredness. Yes, I know part of the reason for the tiredness is me being a toolbag and playing Uno until 3 in the morning last night. Not smart at all. I just had to write about our experience voting because …
Not much to say here, just posting to point out that for many of us, today is municipal election day. If you didn’t do so in advance and aren’t already lined up or planning to be on your way, you really should get out and vote. I know a lot of people don’t think that …
Carin and I would like to take a second to congratulate Guelph Mayoral candidate Ray Mitchell on accomplishing what we believe to be a first for his run.

Ray Mitchell said last week that he was going to send the Guelph Mercury a nice happy letter asking what figures of speech it would be safe to use etc. I haven’t seen his letter, but I did come across this beautiful piece. I’m officially a fan of Francis Prescott. I experienced a mixed reaction …

I just felt like rambling, and since the blog may get a little quiet over the next couple of days because Steve and I are both running off to Thanksgiving stuff, what better time for a ramble fest. First, happy Thanksgiving to all the Canadian readers. Hope you have lots of yummy food and pleasant …
You know how I told Ray Mitchell to stop beating up on himself? Well, he found our blog, and told me to give him a call. I did. I don’t think I’m going to change his mind, and I don’t expect to, but he heard me, so that’s pretty damn cool. I don’t think I …
I just finished watching the mayoral debate on Rogers TV, and I have to say this. Ray, you made me very sad. Actually, you made me want to transport myself through my TV so I could grab you by the shoulders, shake you, and tell you to stop beating up on yourself for the love …
