His signs are everywhere and The Record talks about the fight for the Regional Chair position as some great battle whereby Aissa and Seiling are waging a great war on one another. Thoughts?
Incumbents are difficult to beat. In the last election Ken Seiling got 71.37% of the vote.
By comparison, Rob Ford got 47.09% of the vote. After a disastrous three years the Fords are still in second place, according to opinion polls.
Some people don't like the LRT but Seiling's tenure has been free of scandals. He has name recognition that Aissa could only dream about. So if I was to make a bet my money would be on Seiling.
(By the way, the last time I was in Woodstock, there was a sign on Dundas Street - close to Oxford Road 4 - proclaiming the new home for Jay Fencing. What do you suppose it means?)
