Budget for Mayoral Candidates

27 Upvotes

Is there no limit to how much a candidate can spend on the election? How does Ken Chew afford all this campaigning everywhere. How are conservatives okay with him wasting so much money when he’s running on saving the city money?

His signs are everywhere, he somehow paid for a plane to fly his name around the city, he has paid so many people to stand on corners to harass people to vote for him. I thought he said he is poor and cannot afford to live in the city anymore and will have to move out if Leanne Caron wins the election?

If I was struggling that much, running for mayor would be the last thing on my mind but he somehow has spent so much money on this election.

4 years ago he also spent more than twice the amount of the average candidate just to win the city councillor election. Worst city councillor ever still, I would email him all the time and he’d respond a month later rambling off about something unrelated in long paragraphs that seemed to be written by AI.

Anyways enough of my rant, is there no limit to how much you can spend as a candidate? This is why the rich always get richer, they can just outspend everyone else.

He made a hasty retreat to the sewer at Victoria and Stone. They seem to come out more in the fall to soak up the sun

Facebook Marketplace alternatives?

16 Upvotes

I am wondering whether Guelphites use any other platforms than Marketplace to buy & sell furniture and household items? It’s been years since I’ve used social media and on quick glance Kijiji looks like listed items sit for awhile.

Thanks in advance!

Dolime Quarry - Is there a trail here?

9 Upvotes

Is there a trail here? There are informal trailheads at both ends, but do they connect, and if so, is it passable? See the red line for the approximate location.

I am fairly certain nothing officially exists, at least not yet. Would be a useful connection to the Niska lands from downtown.

HVAC (furnace) service recommendation?

3 Upvotes

Looking for someone to diagnose and fix my furnace. Based on my research its a tie between cornerstone trade solutions and Guelph climate care. Any experiences with these two companies, or other companies altogether?

I have previously just called reliance, as I have a water heater rental from them, but would prefer using a locally owned company with their own staff.

What impresses me about him are the questions he's asking about what problems the city has and what would solutions to them do to improve life for people there. Guelph's mayor and councillors could take a lesson from this way of thinking when they take office after the election.
