Normally I don’t think about politics at all. I think more about my hair. I’m in the process of growing it out, by the way. You know how a woman cuts her hair when she is pregnant or she ditches some crappy man? Maybe it’s something about change and rebirth. I’m in the opposite stage, I’m not having a baby and I feel like I’m dying a little every day. So I’m not going to cut my hair and see how that goes. And speaking of hair and change, the municipal election is coming up on October 25. I have some thoughts about the mayoral candidates and reserve the right to change my mind but I definitely know who I’m voting for councillor in Ward 32. While I am thinking about hair, I am also thinking it’s time for a change. Let’s just call “hair” a metaphor for political platform and say somebody is using too much hairspray and has split ends and needs a new ‘do, not to mention maybe some Botox (shhh, it’s fine, I’ve tried it, it stops you from squinting and getting headaches and improves peripheral vision) and a new wardrobe while we are at it:
The real Sandra Bussin, as you can see from this picture, even her campaign signs are old
About a month ago, one of the other candidates came to my door and we had a little chat. Mary-Margaret McMahon had a lot to offer. She has really good hair. She actually cares about community spirit. I liked her so much, I volunteered to help her campaign and I am urging everyone in the hood to vote for her!!! Please check out her website here:
Mary-Margaret McMahon for Ward 32, the change is going to be good
I really enjoyed this post (saw your post on CL) and I have to say even though I have moved north, I called my dad election night to cheer with him that Sandra was finally out of office…
