McQUARRIE – Dog days of summer ahead of civic election frenzy

The August heat has settled in and temperatures in the high 30’s are the norm for the next several weeks.
Summer vacations are still happening but you can already see a slight slackening of traffic on the highways. Back to school ads are everywhere and kids are showing signs of boredom, a sure indication that the summer season is in decline.
These are the dog days of summer and for someone who writes about political adventures and misadventures, it is a time of limited stories and few tips. It is also an election year, a time when local City politicians are trying to be on their best behaviour.
We are still a month away from lawn sign season, ads, candidate forums and door knocking.

I think we can start by asking each incumbent for their list of tangible positive contributions to the betterment of the city.
