ROBERT KIRWAN
CANDIDATE FOR COUNCILLOR
WARD 6 - HANMER & VAL THERESE |
 Robert Kirwan's
Election Web Site Is Comprehensive Collection Of His
Position On All Major Issues Facing Voters In November
Robert Kirwan feels that voters have
had enough with politicians who say one thing while
campaigning and then do the complete opposite once
elected. He has created a web site that contains a
detailed overview of his positions on all of the major
issues. By placing everything in writing, he is
demonstrating that he is sincere and is not afraid of
being held accountable once elected to office. "The
person you see every day, every week, and every year, is
the person you are going to be putting into office as
Councillor for Ward 6. If I am the kind of person you
want to represent you on Council, then you can vote for
me on November 13, 2006. What you see is what you will
get. I put that promise in writing because I intend to
follow through with my mission."

The
November 2006 Municipal Election Will Be All About Electing People
With Strong Leadership Skills
When it comes to casting your vote in the November 2006
Municipal Election, your choice will pretty much depend on one thing and
one thing only. Who do you feel among the possible candidates possesses the strongest
leadership skills? For example, anyone can make promises, but not everyone is capable of
delivering on those promises. Sometimes it requires a great deal of
strategic thinking and positioning in order to accomplish specific goals. For
