IT IS FOURTH AND TEN...
WHAT DO WE DO?

   Well folks it appears that Oshawa is bankrupt!!!   Yes, you read it right.  Oshawa is bankrupt of leaders and true leadership.
Oshawa municipal government for the last 10 years has lost it’s service to taxpayers.  It has become nothing  but another corporation looking for ways to dig into your pocket.
An institution that was set forth for the people and elected by the people.  Today’s administration is broken.   Our taxes keep going up and no one seems to care. 
Look at what is happening in the race for Mayor of Oshawa.  So far the only candidate is Dan Carter.  A careered ‘YES MAN’.  Someone that until not to long ago lived in Whitby.
Since his election as councillor... what has he done for the city of Oshawa?    How has he better the life of tax payers?   The assumption he did nothing and now we are not only going to give him a pay raise but the responsibility of leadership?
Well, what is wrong with Oshawa voters.   We kept Diamond in office for years.  We kept Henry for two terms... and what do we have to show for it.
Are we the voters that ignorant of the facts?   Have we subliminally surrendered to popular thought.   We do not vote on merit or credentials.  Instead we vote on name recognition and a smile.
Has democracy failed.  Has it changed.  Is democracy broken?   How do you explain that no one is running against a candidate that clearly stand for the establishment and not the people of Oshawa at large?
I can’t stop shaking my head and hope that the God’s are looking down on us and send us a messiah.   We need a leader with a vision.  A leader with a back bone that is not afraid to take on the issue.  A leader  that will bring Oshawa back to the glory days.  A time when Oshawa proud meant something.   With the likes of Carter.  The City ‘GOOD OLD BOYS’ circle is complete.   Between the Chamber, Oshawa Golf Club, Durham Realtor Board and others of the same stature... run the city much like the many families in the U.S. ran New York.
Is it not time for real change.  Is it not time to take Oshawa back and assure that your children have a future.   For the past years administration after administration have dug us into debt.
Is it not time to dig out?   What do you think?
