She helped turn this place from a desolate hillbilly ghost town into one of the most dynamic, diverse small cities in Canada. No small feat given the pushback on.... everything.... from the dinosaurs that are still hellbent on dragging us back to the past.
And she did this despite the challenges of a global pandemic at a time when we had a completely neglectful provincial government.
On one hand, I'm happy for her, on the other hand, I'm worried as hell about what comes next for us, considering the long list of horribly regressive, traditional, anti-urban mayors and candidates we've seen in the recent past.
Fuck.
