Democracy received a slap
Dear Editor
Regarding the upcoming election in
the Town and County of Stettler, I
would very much like to encourage eligible
voters to examine the issues
carefully and vote carefully for their
choice of candidate who they wish to
represent them at the municipal level
for the next four years.
Government affects all of us at the
national, provincial and municipal
levels and it is at the municipal level
where our votes are most important.
The County of Stettler voters have
some very important decisions to
make and as Canadians, need to
realize how important their individual
votes are in this particular upcoming
election.
County residents voted ‘NO’ in a vote
of the electorate held Mon. June 27,
regarding the wasteful expense and
cost of the new county public works
building.
Exactly 1047 eligible voters weighed
in on the issue at voting
stations throughout the County,
with 54 per cent of voters saying no to a
new shop facility and 46 per cent of the
voters saying yes.
The County Shop building is historically
the largest capital project ever
undertaken by the County of Stettler.
Never before had a plebiscite vote
been necessary in the County of
Stettler regarding such an important
issue involving such a large expenditure
of money.
Within days of the plebiscite being
defeated, the sitting County
of Stettler councillors voted
to proceed with the building
project using money that
was meant for necessary
new roads to pay for the cost
of the building project.
Stettler County council
bulldozed the majority vote
and majority will of the
public and spent a very
large amount of money on a
building that was much
more than was needed.
SHAME on the councillors
for defying the will of
the people in a legal vote.
The government did not
listen to the people. NOW is
the time to make them
listen.

to vote and make certain
that none of the incumbent
county council candidates
are returned to office.
Only Ernest Gendre was
strong enough to stand up
and vote against the
spending frenzy of Stettler
County councillors.
Please, as a Canadian, I
am asking the County of
Stettler municipal voters to
take this opportunity and
vote the incumbent councillors
out of office. Democracy
has received a slap in the
face and voters need to
stand up for Canada and for
democracy.
