I just learned that the Wasaga Sun newspaper will be choosing a list of candidates for their editorial again this year. This practice caused a small uproar among some of the candidates in the last election. I am sure you can guess it was the ones who were not chosen who were quite upset. I was among them. It is important for all residents to know that the Wasaga Sun is no longer a small town newspaper. It may have started out that way but now it is part of a large corporation, Metroland Media who are famous for buying up small town newspapers. Last Updated (Wednesday, 01 September 2010 09:26)

You may have noticed a small change to the list of candidates this morning. I just submitted my nomination papers to the Town of Wasaga Beach. I'm taking a third, and possibly final shot at a seat on Council. I sure could use your help this time. If you would like to volunteer, donate money to the campaign, or just do your bit to make sure your friends and neighbours know who I am, I would be grateful. As I learned in the last two elections, it isn't easy to get elected. No matter how well intentioned, or how much work you put into it, or how much you think you might bring to the job - it's the people who decide. Making sure voters know you is the biggest hurdle.

In an interesting broadcast from 97.7 the Beach, Wasaga beach Mayor Cal Patterson defends the Town's recent water rate increases and forced water meters by claiming these are conservation measures. In no uncertain terms, he trumpets the need to conserve water. "It won't last forever; the water is declining; and we have to take responsibility for that". However, he is caught off guard - blindsided even, by a caller named Walter who asks the Mayor if he was aware that the Town's water was being trucked outside of Wasaga Beach?

File this one under "boils my blood". As the residents of Wasaga Beach are being asked to conserve water and are forced to deal with new smart meters, which some say have resulted in unfairly high water costs, the Town of Wasaga Beach has been selling water to an outside Municipality to "fill pools. Although the amount of water is still a mystery, even to the Mayor, astute citizens have been monitoring the situation for some time now.
