With less than two weeks before E-Day, here's my list of municipal candidates in Ottawa to avoid. Far right, convoy supporters, anti-LGBT, or "anti-woke"

Disclaimer: simply being a mainstream conservative isn't enough to get someone on this list.

Council:
Ward 2 (Orléans West-Innes) – Chris Fraser
Ward 8 (College) – Vilteau Delvas
Ward 9 (Knoxdale-Merivale) – Joseph Ben-Ami
Ward 12 (Rideau-Vanier) – Tyler Cybulski
Ward 20 (Osgoode) – Bruce Faulkner
Ward 21 (Rideau Jock) – Patty Searl
Ward 21 (Rideau-Jock) – Michael Nowak

OCDSB:
Zone 2 – Ashley Darling
Zone 4 – Rasha Alnaqeeb
Zone 6 – Shannon Boschy
Zone 8 – Chanel Pfahl
Zone 10 – John Bitzan
Zone 11 – Maher Jebara

OCSB:
Zone 3 – Paul Safi
Zone 6 – Glen Armstrong
Zone 6 – Pat Suwalski
Zone 9 – Guillermo Fernandez

A couple "honourable mentions"

Matthew Lee (OCDSB Zone 11) is listed as supportable by the Campaing Life Coalition, but they prefer Jebara. I'd recommend Mamata Dutta or Ryan St. Jean.

Danny Arrais (OCSB Zone 7) was endorsed by Vote Against Woke, but no CLC endorsement (yet?)

Also, honourable mention to Rebecca Bromwich running for city council in Capital Ward. She isn't a convoy supporter, but she has made a point of supporting Stella Luna, a business that supported the convoy.

Of these, from what I understand, the most concerning (considering their odds of getting elected) are:

Ashley Darling (OCDSB Zone 2)
Chanel Pfahl (OCDSB Zone 8)
Maher Jebara (OCDSB Zone 11)
Greg Armstrong (incumbent, OCSB Zone 6)

Elections aren't won and lost on twitter, let's make sure to keep the far right off our school boards. Also, if you are looking for good candidates to support, check out @HorizonOttawa's list of endorsements.

Oh, one more honourable mention -- Cameron Bonesso (OCSB Zone 10 - including areas directly affected by the convoy) isn't far right or anti-woke, but he expressed his support for Pierre Poilievre before the coffee that PP delivered to the convoy was even cold.

Finally, as the anti-vaxxers say, "do your own research"

Ask questions of your school board and city council candidates, and if their responses are not satisfactory, let people know.
