Your mayor is playing a waiting game, hey?
Okay, *ninde* — so you know how we’re a quarter of the way through the mayoral campaign here in Winnipeg? Yeah. And you know how our incumbent, Scott Gillingham, he hasn't made a single campaign promise yet? Not one. It's got people around Osborne Village and down at The Forks just scratching their heads, wondering what the game plan is. It's a real head-scratcher, for sure.
### What This Means for Winnipeg
* **Silence is Golden?** Usually, you’d expect a mayor to be out there, especially if they’re the one currently in the big chair, telling us all what they’ve done and what they plan to do next. But Gillingham? He’s been… quiet. * **Waiting for the Right Moment:** Maybe he’s just waiting to see what the other candidates are going to say, eh? Then he can come in with his promises and try to look like he’s got all the answers. It’s a strategy, I guess. * **Voter Confusion:** For those of us living here, trying to figure out who to vote for, it just makes things harder. We want to know what someone's going to do for our city, for our neighbourhoods from St. Boniface to the North End.
It’s just wild to me. In a city like Winnipeg, where we’ve got so much going on and so many things that need addressing – from those potholes on Pembina Highway to making sure our arts scene in the Exchange District keeps thriving – you’d think he’d be shouting his plans from Portage and Main, hey? It’s a strange way to run a campaign, and it certainly keeps us talking.
Winterpeg. We built a city in the coldest place anyone has any business building a city — and it is genuinely wonderful. Good morning.
