Neil Richardson is running for mayor of Wiarton. Who is Neil Richardson? I have no clue, but this brief bio in the Wiarton Echo paints him as an affable, down-to-earth type.
There's not a lot of back-ground info there, or any serious insights into what policy positions he might be inclined to take. His campaign slogan, "community first," is a little non-committal too. Ya, who isn't for "community?"
But here's why the think tank here at Falling Downs thinks you should vote for Neil. Me and the Farm Manager were passing through town the other day, when we passed by three fellows who were taking a break from putting up Vote Richardson signs. They appeared to be having a smoke break. As we rolled by, windows down and sunroof open, they gave a friendly wave. We waved back.
A second later, the FM gives a sniff and says, "do you smell that?"
Oh, I smelled that alright! Those lads were having a toke break, not a smoke break!
Anybody who can motivate potheads to get off the couch and get involved in the most grass-roots level of the democratic process deserves your serious consideration.
