Jeremy might want to get himself an actual website soon.

Oh, I suspect he will soon enough.

 

Jeremy has done some neat things. My favourite is the poem Come Home Canada:

Hi VibrantVictoria!  I've been reading these forums for years. Thank you for creating a page for my candidacy.  I'll try to check back regularly to answer any questions that you all may have.

 

Jeremy might want to get himself an actual website soon.

 

We'll be launching my website soon.  I'll post a link here once it is live.

I just met with him for coffee and I am very impressed with him.  He is the sort of person that will change the council for the better.

I wont be voting for him by any means as he is much too left wing and idealistic, but I would love to see him voted in to witness rhythmic rhymes being spouted during a hearing.

Webiste looked good until I got to

 

 

2. Speaking out about important issues even when it is difficult. Whether the issue is gender violence, dangerous pipelines, poverty, or food security, I have consistently advocated for safer, fairer and more sustainable communities.

 

Gender violence, dangerous pipelines and food security...my lord those are not even close to the top three issues facing Victoria.

 

I'm curious as to what "dangerous pipeline" issues you have had to speak out about and what these issues could have possibly had to do with Victoria, which to my knowledge doesn't have any pipelines going through it?

To be fair, that is not my platform or a list of the issues I think are most important in our city. Please keep reading the website or click on "platform".  Good feedback though. I don't want a sentence drawing attention to my past advocacy work to distract from the important local issues we face.

Whoa, that's a pretty nice site. Winner of the 2014 municipal election website contest? I think so.

It's a good looking site.

 

However, my Kaspersky Antivirus alerted me that the site might be a possible "phishing" site.  Not sure if that's going to be an issue for other readers or not.

 

Also, I couldn't help but notice that your three endorsements are from the same people endorsing Erik Kaye, and two of them are very similar to Erik's.

That is a serious concern of mine as well. Victoria ABSOLUTELY does not need any more councillors whose first concern seems to be shouldering all the burdens of the world on the taxpayers of Victoria. I reiterate from my previous post in the "Erik Kaye" thread: municipal politicians should keep the infrastructure in good working shape; promote an appropriate balance between business and residential interests; and manage/fund the necessary local emergency and peace-keeping services...and that's pretty much it.

If a candidate came to me and said "I support fact/statistic based planning" for transit, road and bike then I would support that.  Let the numbers guide the decisions.  But to say "I support sustainable transport initiatives" is a bit concerning for me.  What does that mean exactly?  That's what was said before by previous candidates and it's resulted in quite the hodge-podge network of bus and bike lanes that many of us feel are under utilized or otherwise don't properly serve the transport needs of the community.

 

It's like the LRT - we don't have the ridership to make that viable yet there are still councillors that want to get behind that plan.  Meanwhile water pipes are on the verge of collapsing and our fire trucks are set to be under a pile of rubble in the event of a significant earthquake.

Yeah it's nice to hear someone's federal or global level concerns and passions, but I want to know what they'll do at the city level as a councilor.  Tell me Victoria-specific issues and platforms.  I mean unless there's some pipeline being built in the city that will be used for human trafficking and smuggling tainted food that I don't know about.

Thanks for the heads up.  I will check in with my web guy.

I'm hoping that you took a minute to look at my 3 core platforms points as well as the one sentence that talks about National and Global issues in my introduction.  I hope you take the time to check back as well as I will be posting in depth views on the major issues over the coming days and weeks.

 

I understand that for a government to provide cost-effective public services, we need a thriving local economy.  I've been meeting with leaders from many sectors to hear their ideas for how the City of Victoria can better support our business community. I would look forward to hearing ideas from any of you as well.  

 

Good eye on catching that my first three endorsements are similar to Erik Kaye's. That does not make me any less proud to have their support. 

 

I will be announcing three very different endorsements this week.

A Victoria council candidate out door-knocking got a first-hand look at neighbourhood crime issues when he interrupted a house burglary.

 

Jeremy Loveday said he and a volunteer were campaigning around mid-day in the Fernwood neighbourhood Saturday when a knock on a door prompted an unusual response.
