I received a note the other day through this blog from Jim Likourezos, who is running in Ward 19 (ours) now that Joe Pants is running for Mayor (god help us if he wins) as well as a flyer in my mailbox. It’s the first candidate we’ve seen so far.
His webpage says he’s for “responsible government”, which really doesn’t help us out much. (not that we don’t like responsible government, but give us some more!).
So, to help us get to know him he’s holding a couple of meet and greets in the area, although unfortunately none on Ossington… yet.
The first of his meetups is at Victory Cafe on Monday the 22nd at 7pm
The second meeting takes place at one of my faves, the Wheat Sheaf Tavern the next night at 7pm also.
I’m sure he’ll be heading and meeting up with us here on Ossington soon. Reposado, Sweaty Betty’s and The Painted Lady make for good meet-up locales, and the local business owners would love to find out more about him.
I would certainly like to hear what he has to say. I don’t really want to settle for ‘anyone would be better than Joey Pants’ , we need a lot better.

Jim is homegrown. He’s one of our own. He’s got passion for the ward and has always been a professional, respectable family man. His family have been proud residents in ward 19 for nearly 5 decades. I certainly want to see talent like him in Council, rather than the professional, parachute politicians, especially in such a ward.
