Another Election...

Well Folks, another municipal election is upon us.  Some of you have wondered if there will be any coverage on this site.  When I first created this site, it was to cover the 2010 election campaign.  I did not give any thought to the next election.  Here are some things to consider:

1) Nobody (to my knowledge anyhow) follows this site anymore.  What good is a website without an audience?

2) The Municipal Election is on October 27, 2014.  So far, I have absolutely no idea who any of the candidates are.  I have seen 2 election signs (1 for Mayor, 1 for Council) so far.  There has been no coverage in the Chapleau Express so far.  How am I supposed to maintain a site about an election when I know nothing about the candidates?

3) I'm pretty busy, so I'm not sure if a site like this is worth it anymore.

If anyone feels strongly enough that they would want this site (or something very similar) to cover the 2014 election, write in the comments section and let me know.  There's still lots of time before the campaign is over.  Not sure if it will be as interesting as last time, but you never know until you see who the candidates are.

Thank you for reading!

  3. Thanks for the info. I did that a few days ago. I'll publish the list of candidates soon. I'd like people's feedback on each of them.

    1. Hey Oracle,

      If you're listing people that have no chance of getting elected, you're spot on.
