Just tell them to look around. Vick would be interesting, but I know a number of Hector's constituents who are very disappointed by how quickly she seemed to have been co-opted by the cabal. I haven't heard anything from Rick lately and his domain has been scooped by a squatter. This city is a mess. What we truly need is a council that's not afraid of the business cabal and is capable of making the tough decisions. This council showed such promise.

This was confirmed by some recent surveys - wasn't it Macleans who classed Kingston as poorly managed - and some other magazine voted Kingston the third best place to live?
