nope. I will never vote for someone who does not reside in or close to the area. And that one is simply outside what I would consider close.

As for Auch..are you sure she does not live in that area now?

Or, you can wait till Mike P jumps ship and runs for MLA, and then you can run in the by-election for councillor ! Smile

Dont think he will be running for MLA. He has bigger fish to fry.

Could be wrong though as the Prov Libs could do with a change in leadership.

Not sure where she lives at the moment. If she's here, she should update her Facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/susan.auch

Don't matter where she's at, I'd still vote for her.
