Original Kitchener, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Friday, October 21 2022 Just three more sleeps until the day of decision. There’s not much more to be said about the 2022 municipal election process when it is so close to completion. Even the standard “be sure to get out and vote” message feels dubious. If you don’t know enough to make an informed decision, I think it’s OK to remain with the overwhelming majority and sit this one out. Given all the gaps, flaws and weaknesses in the local/regional news, information, investigation and deliberation ecosystem as it exists here and now, no one can be blamed for feeling out of the loop. There is no loop left to speak of, at least not one that might warrant the definite article. Sometimes it all just looks like a confusing array of mutually exclusive mindsets, each spinning around in its own loopy circles.
