From deep inside the Randall “Randy” Denley bunker
He used to be my editor. He was a good editor. He should have stuck to that.
To wit:
So the riding could go either way, but the impression is that Chiarelli is gaining traction

His position on HydroOttawa’s smart meters (the hardware, not the billing) borders on the absurd (http://www.ottawacitizen.com/technology/Power+politics+play+over+smart+meter+Ottawa+West+Nepean/5416346/story.html)
Even accepting the premise that smart meters allow for more precise/higher billing, he has had no cogent answers to questions as to why some people should be entitled to subsidized power.

I live in this riding. My fingers are crossed for Chiarelli. Also, I wasn’t very impressed by how Denley got into a condo high rise full of elderly voters. The old trick of waiting until a Sunday open house and the agent has to buzz you in to view the unit for sale.

I was under the impression that canvassers (including candidates) were entitled to entrance to multiple-unit dwellings under the elections act. God knows my (Liberal) candidate kept telling me this as we went door to door in OWN high-rises during the Federal Campaign. Just sayin’

BTW I am with you on Chiarelli. He’s a good, experienced pol, and we could do a lot worse. Like Ramble Dumbly!

I was the agent. All they had to do was ask me. Pretending to be buzzed in as a buyer in a secure building is just yucky. Now, if we could just get rid of Baird in my riding, I’d be really happy.

Well, they’re pretending to be able to deliver prudent fiscal governance, too, so pretending to be a prospective buyer to literally get their foot in the voters’ door is one o’ those ‘What About Bob?’ logical Baby Steps to getting there, I guess.

Don’t know why anyone would take on Chiarelli. Denley is only on temporary leave from the Citizen though, so he’s probably get a career’s worth of columns out of it!
