Don't believe the gossip
Over the last several years, the use of social media in political arenas has become common practice. In many cases, tidbits of information are sprinkled around...
A voice for our schools
I am writing in support of Chantelle Desrosiers in the upcoming election for West Kelowna school trustee. Over the past four years, I have experienced...
Cops deserve weed, too
People who have never used weed are so hypocritical. They might not be wife or child beaters, or hateful, angry people, if they did. Their blood pressure would...
A big no on prop rep
The upcoming referendum on electoral reform has been postured to make it as confusing as possible. It is not a yes or no vote, and has been designed this way...
A vote for Basran
I’ve listened to several forums in which Mayor Colin Basran has spoken, and one thing strikes me. He is fiscally responsible, and I don’t get that...
Positivity wins the day
I never thought that what is happening down south in the political arena would creep up here into our city’s municipal elections. Recently, I came upon a...
A loose Cannan?
I am just a regular Kelowna citizen who has not yet familiarized myself with the candidates for the upcoming mayoral election. I don’t personally know any...
Way to go, Maxine!
Kudos to Maxine DeHart and all her helpers for the effort they have put in for the past 20 years, raising funds for the United Way with the drive-thru...
A problem with parking
Election time will reveal not the people of Kelowna’s choices, but the choices of those who actually go out to vote. It is a fact of life that we have in...
Beryl's vote is for Colin
As a resident of Kelowna since 1969 (50 years next year), I have been involved with many groups and organizations, the Emergency Support Services of the...
Hoping for change
After 29 years of living in Kelowna and reading all I can about this year's candidates for mayor and council, I have come to one overwhelming conclusion. It...
The facts on homelessness
It’s time to set the record straight on misconceptions being spread about homelessness that are diminishing efforts to address this critical issue in our...
Don't forget trustee vote
Voting day is fast approaching, and I hope to encourage Okanagan residents to do their research and vote, not only for mayor and council, but school trustees as...
A cabal council?
Having attended the all-candidates forum on Oct. 3, I am convinced there appears to be a bit of a cabal becoming evident in West Kelowna. There are rumours of...
Safety net, if needed
None of the proportional representation systems on the referendum ballot will result in a loss of the important connection between the voter and their local...
No more blank cheques
On this year’s Lake Country ballot, residents will be asked to approve a $6.6 million loan to fund a new fire hall. Mayor Baker claims if approved the...
Disappointed with council
The current Kelowna city councillors will likely be unconcerned about their fate come election day. Usually, they retain their seats just because they have...
A challenge to voters
Democracy will fail and turn into an aristocracy or even a corporatocracy if the majority of voters do not show up to vote during elections. Peachland has the...
Council didn't waver
With the upcoming civic election, it is timely to remember the pivotal role played by Mayor Colin Basran, with the support of council, in advancing...
Governed by the courts?
The words “duty to consult and to accommodate” do not appear in the Constitution of 1982. Rather, Section 35 of our Constitution simply...
