If some of the candidates truly want to get involved in politics, why the hell don't they run for councillor?

Bokhari placed 3rd in her riding in an election as the leader of a provincial party (albeit a political party run by the U of W Poli Sci student body). She has no record. Run for council, build a record, some experience in elected politics and try again in 4 years.

Same as someone like Motkaluk. Are you going to run for mayor every 4 years? Get on council or a school board at least and give people some idea of how you lead, where you fall on policy decisions.

Same goes for Loney.

Can't believe how many candidates just think they can jump in at the top job in a very large city with absolutely no record as an elected politician at any level. It would be ridiculous in a smaller city but extra stupid in a city heading toward 1 million residents.
