I don’t think any other person deserves it more than you Kevin. You put your heart and soul into this and can’t wait to see you on Council.
Congratulations!Posted 2 years ago # -

Good on you Kevin! But 11 percent turn-out…that’s embarrassing. I wonder if a ward system would get people involved more and create more focus of neighbourhood needs/issues. There seems to be no vision coming from any local politicians lately of what they want for their community. Hopefully Councillor Craig changes that.

The big story of the evening isn’t Kevin Craig’s victory, as many had expected that, but rather the poor voter turnout at 11%, a new low for the city. City council had an opportunity to increase the voter turnout by putting at least one referendum item on the ballot such as asking voters if they approved of the downtown CD Zone, but there wasn’t a single member of city council that supported doing so. I believe this is a case of engineered apathy as city council doesn’t want democracy to fully function in Kelowna in order that the business community and its friends in the city administration can continue to call the shots.

When did the voters in our city become so disengaged from participating in the democratic process that the apathy is now an established pattern? It would be interesting to see at what point in our history people just plain stopped caring enough to venture out in the rain. Perhaps having a lively debate and multi-aged council will revive our interest. Checking out the results of the polling station is a good way to see how people vote and what areas are most willing to participate in a democracy. Do we always need a backhoe to show up for us to become aware of what the decision in Council mean to our neighbourhoods?

Love the flashing botox ad above Kevin’s smiling face.
