Who won?

Who won the election? Drum roll please.... The winner was..... Naheed Nenshi. All the younger citezens went for Sandra, Sunstrum and i think Lord, but the older citezens weren't listening during town hall and didn't know who to vote for. So they ALL voted for Nenshi because they weren't sure. I'm not sure on what to say about this...

Town Hall!

The Town Hall was interesting, and not quite what i hoped. it took roughly 15-20 minutes for all the citizens to arrive, so the rest of us were waiting. Did i mention we had to sit on the floor? ugh. Well everyone was talking, even during the speeches. Some weren't even that good. I don't know. I can't write the speeches because my fingers would get sore, but instead i'll just say how they did. I found John Lord's speech fantastic, and practical. Perrault's speech was short, and I found everyone started getting restless after that(bored? we may never know...). I found Nenshi's speech was expressionless, and after that everyone was EXTRA restless(i don't even know). I found it was also missing heart. With Sunstrum's speech, he only talked about the environment(the same ideas as most people: more trees, more parks, electric cars, yada yada...) yet he used probably 40 posters. poor trees. With Bruce's speech, at the end he said "VOTE FOR ME!" that seems kind of desperate to me.... Any who, Papez's speech was lacking expression(it was hard for me to pay attention, everyone talking, and my butt was sore from sitting on the floor.). But Sandra's speech had lots of expression, and some good ideas. she thought of using part of the "weed" plant to make paper, but the older citizens thought people would use it to their "advantage". 1. you only use part of the plant. 2. the drug comes from the bud. 3. its harmless, though the entire plant is banned from the country because people are worried about you-know-what. Carter's speech was shorter than i expected, but well put. Well that was all the speeches. During the questions someone asked what was different about most of them, because a lot of the things they wanted to do were the same. I'm pretty sure only 3 people could answer that. We-ell it looks like most people are going to vote depending if the person is their friend. OH. OH. i forgot to say, most people interviewed 1(yes i repeat ONE) person and decided they would vote for them. i just... i don't.. some people are so immature....

Well...

I've been running around a lot, trying to get an interview with sunstrum or what the name is (i'm not really sure, the posters don't say) SO if i don't get an interview with him/her, then i'm really sorry.

INTERVIEWING: Sandra Hunter!

Ivy: so what do you plan on doing if you are elected?
Sandra: i plan on making Calgary eco friendly, and reducing cutting down trees.
Ivy: what are you plans on the taxes?
Sandra: um, well i find that people are paying so much taxes, and things are going down the drain, and the money is being wasted. so i'm planning on giving the 52. million dollars back to the taxpayers because we are not using it for any  thing so it can be used for food and water and things like that.
Ivy: any thing else you pan on doing?
Sandra: um, i also plan on helping the flood relief because thats important to me, my family, because i think that we should give back to the city. tis our city, we should give back to it, we should hep our fellow neighbours.
Ivy: ok thanks!
Sandra: is that all you need?
Ivy: yep! bye!


it took me FOREVER to type that, but it was a good interview! but i wonder how she'll pay for flood damage if she's giving the money back. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

WHAT?! continued...

ok so there are posters LITERALLY EVERYWHERE, and some posters have been posted on "private property" without permission, and people are claiming others copied their posters, and yada yada. some candidates used probably 30 pieces of paper and plastered them everywhere. people are putting posters over posters, and there is NO WHERE to hide from the posters... and it wastes paper, even though the candidates are like "care about the environment!" there isn't a spot in the building without a poster.... and it wastes paper. sorry i'm passionate about the environment but STILL! ok i could go on ranting about this but it would be a long post, so bye!
