DURHAMREGION.COM/2022MUNICIPALELECTION The number of eligible voters interested in casting a ballot and helping to shape the future of their communities dropped dramatically in the 2022 provincial election and it's not unreasonable to expect that sort of disengagement from politics to continue in this month's municipal election.

"They are public servantsand that's what has to bebrought back to Pickering — a sense that you belongand that you deserve avoice and that you are rec-ognized at council and that's what I want to bringback to Pickering." Fellow candidate Brad Nazar said he's running ona vision revolving aroundthree points: protecting, in-vesting and improving — "I mean improving transpar-ency and accountability atcity hall." "If you want change inthe city you're going tohave to vote for it," he said. He added he believes theCity of Pickering should cancel its support of an air-port in north Pickering. When longtime council- lor and mayoral candidateKevin Ashe gave his open-ing statement, he empha-sized the importance of ex- perience in the city's nextmayor."It's simply not an entry- level job," he said. "I don'tthink anybody here wouldhire a CEO with no experi-ence." Sponsored by FairportBeach Neighbourhood As-sociation and Pickering West Shore CommunityAssociation, the event alsofeatured questions for the city and regional candi-dates, as well as introduc-tions of the school boardtrustees. Candidates re- sponded to individualquestions.When asked if he would create a new waterfronttask force, Nazar said herecently committed tolaunching three citizen ad- visory committees, one forFrenchman's Bay and wa-terfront improvements. "It's a critical, criticalpiece of infrastructure forour community," he said.When Ashe was asked if he thinks a strategic plan isneeded for Pickering, headmitted Pickering has anumber of different plans, that are a bit disjointed."The development of astrategic plan I think is im- perative," he said.Frampton was askedwhat steps she would taketo put Pickering on a better financial footing, and shesaid Pickering should workwith Toronto to start shar- ing commercial taxes."Let's move businessesto Brock and Bayly wherewe have the space and it's already serviced land," sheadded.In his closing statement, Ashe said he's running be-cause he cares about hiskids' and his grandkids' fu-tures. "I think this election is avery, very important elec-tion," he said. "Pickering is at a crossroad and we needstrong leadership and ex-perienced leadership in the mayor's office."He wants to see morejobs, and better transit andfacilities, and in the first 100 days he will meet withstakeholders and city staffto determine the wants and needs.Frampton said she maymot be the most experi-enced, but has been heavily involved in politics fromspeaking at public meet-ings to analyzing budgets. And her experience man-aging an airplane has givenher great people experi-ence. She wants to bring backcommunity-based politics,not developer-based poli-tics "I'm a quick learner,"she said. "I want to learn.I've earned all of these things because they're im-portant to me and they'reimportant to you."Nazar said voters must ask themselves what typeof experience they want,and if it's the same type of experience they've hadover the past four years.He said has plenty of ex-perience in public service from joining the reservesin high school, to workingwith every level of govern- ment."It's time for change inthis city," he said. "It's timefor change on how city hall deals with the public. It'stime for change on how cityhall presents informationto the public and it's timefor city hall to bring backtrust."

Who cares enough tovote these days? Apparently not manypeople, according to re-cent voter turnout statis-tics. The number of eligi- ble voters interested incasting a ballot and help-ing to shape the future oftheir communitiesdropped dramatically inthe 2022 provincial elec-tion — falling from 57 per cent in 2018 to a dismaland record-low 43 percent this year — and it'snot unreasonable to ex- pect that sort of disen-gagement from politics tocontinue in this month's municipal election.Getting people out tovote in municipal elec-tions has traditionally been a struggle in Dur-ham. While the threenorthern municipalities saw their voter turnouthover around the 50 percent mark in 2018 — Ux-bridge led the way in the last municipal electionwith a 50.93 per cent turn-out, followed by Brock (46.7 per cent) and Scugog(45.72 per cent) — there isseemingly little interestalong the region's lake- shore communities.Oshawa and Whitby re-corded the lowest turn-outs in 2018 (24.1 per cent and 26.78 per cent, respec-tively), with interest inClarington only margin- ally better (28.57 percent). Just under one-third of all eligible votersin Pickering (29 per cent) cast a ballot in the lastmunicipal election, whileAjax residents crept clos- er to that mark (32.9 percent).A lack of interest sur- rounding politics fromthe general public hasbeen discussed for de-cades, "but I think it has definitely gotten worse,"said Shanti Fernando, anassociate professor in thepolitical science pro- gram, faculty of social sci-ence and humanities, atOntario Tech University in Oshawa. "Municipal politics af-fect people's lives themost, you should be en- gaged in it, but it has tra-ditionally been at the 30per cent kind of mark," she said. It's unlikely, continuedFernando, turnout willvary greatly from the bleak results in June'sprovincial election givenvoters' attention is cen- tred on the economy, ris-ing prices and the ongo-ing COVID-19 pandemic."Their focus is kind of elsewhere, I think," shesaid. As well, said Fernando,the ripple effects from so-cial isolation brought onby COVID-19 may alsoplay a role in the Oct. 24 election."The whole idea of vot-ing ... this is more sort of acommunal experience and you don't feel as muchpart of the community Ithink right now because you are a little bit more inyour home, you are a littlebit more individually fo-cused," she said. "You don't have thatsame sense of civic en-gagement you have had in the past to vote or careabout issues." But even before the pandemic, there was asomewhat shameful dis- connect between votersand the political process.There's a "widespread be-lief" all politicians are thesame or that "it's notworth the effort" to votewhen the outcome won't change an individual'slife, said Fernando."I think it's a bit intel-lectually lazy to say that everything is the sameand nothing will everchange because you're not really engaging inthat process," she said.One way to address vot-er apathy is for candi- dates to connect againwith voters, said Fernan-do. Instead of relying on signs, advertisementsand social media, candi-dates need to meet votersface-to-face to spread their message, she said."I think that to get ridof some of the disengage- ment, you have to engage—even going door-to-door," said Fernando. "Ifthey're out there more, talking more, peoplewould be more aware."The dangers of disen-gagement are those whoare elected may not get asense of the issues in thecommunity from voters if there's limited interac-tion between the twosides."If you have a lot of vot- er apathy and low voterturnout, you just havenonrepresentative repre- sentatives so the peoplewho are elected thenaren't reflective of thecommunities they serve and that's not great be-cause they're not going tobe able to do the things that need to be done inthose communities," saidFernando. But it's also importantto remember, she stressed, some politiciansrely on voter disinterestto avoid accountability."Apathy can serve you be-cause you really don't getcalled out as much. If peo-ple are apathetic and not getting very involved,then even when (politi-cians) do something that'snot great, maybe (they're) not going to pay the pricefor that," said Fernando.One reason why voters may be apolitical is thelack of choice in some mu-nicipal races — when can-didates are acclaimed and voters have no say in therace, why tune in?Five of the eight munic- ipalities in Durham willhave at least one candi-date acclaimed in the 2022municipal election, in- cluding Scugog where sixof the seven council seatswill go uncontested in the Oct. 24 vote. Only votersin Ajax, Oshawa and Pick-ering will have a say intheir entire slate of coun- cillors.The number of seatsacclaimed across theprovince has been trend-ing upwards during thepast three municipal elec-tions. According to data from the Association ofMunicipalities Ontario,there were 390 candidatesacclaimed in 2014, anoth- er 477 in 2018 and 548 in2022. Of this year's 548 un-challenged winners, 139 sit at the head of council,serving as either mayor orreeve.Among those ac- claimed in this month'selection is Willie Woo,who captured the region- al councillor Wards 3 and4in Clarington uncontest-ed. It's the second time he's done so — Woo was al-so acclaimed to the same position in 2014."When you put yourname on the pile, youdon't think about beingacclaimed," he said. Woocan't put his finger on whysome seats go unchal- lenged — "I can't explainit," he says — but wondersif the amount of work thatgoes into being an elected official and low pay, aswell as vitriol from thepublic toward politicians, may make people thinktwice about wading intopolitics."Could it may be that people realize it's a thank-less job?" said Woo, noting"there's always someone out in cyberspace willingto pick you apart."Acclaimed or not, Woosaid he will still be knock- ing on doors across hiscommunity, visiting newsubdivisions and greeting newcomers to his ownneighbourhood. "I still want to be outthere so people know they have a voice at the table,"said Woo, adding he wouldhave "enjoyed" having acompetitor for his council seat. "It's an adrenalinrush," he said of electioncampaigns. But for those who areacclaimed, Woo urgesthem not to get a swollenhead. "I hope nobody ever, ev-er took it for granted thatthey're that good nobody ran against them," hesaid. "If they feel that way,I would lose respect."

"I want to work diligent-ly with the new city councilto present a budget that will invest in our city whilekeeping property taxes inline," he says. KEVIN ASHE RUNS FOR MAYOR Kevin Ashe is running for mayor of Pickering. Susie Kockerscheidt/Metroland A Pickering residentpushing for a lobbyist reg- istry and determined tocall off any plans for a Pick-ering airport hopes to takeon the top seat on council. Issues manager BradNazar says he decided torun for mayor because council needs to listen toresidents instead of devel-opers. "It's time for responsi- ble development to be aguiding principle, not justapolitical slogan," he said."It's time for transparencyat city hall to be a rule, notjust a passing thought. It'stime to focus on making Pickering better, instead ofselling out to the highestbidder."Nazar created picke- ringcouncilforsale in 2021—tracking developer do-nations to Pickering coun- cil during the 2018 election.He said his campaign is ful-ly funded by grassroots supporters — retirees, stu- dents, small business own-ers, farmers — a widerange of people who want change in Pickering.Nazar has a degree fromCarleton University,where he graduated with a BA in criminology and mi-nor in Law and currentlyworks for Metrolinx. Hisgovernment work has in-cluded working in the of-fices of the federal minis-ter of defence and minister of fisheries and oceans,and deputy chief of staff tothe Ontario finance minis-ter. NAZAR'S TOP THREE ISSUES •Cancelling the pro- posed airport and protect-ing agricultural land. •Launching the afford-able housing strategy and action plan and broaden-ing the tax base to relievethe personal property taxburden. •Investing in communi-ty infrastructure, like thewaterfront and French- man's Bay, a Pickering-based hospital, and pedes-trian-cycling paths BRAD NAZAR RUNS FOR MAYOR Brad Nazar is running for Pickering mayor. Jason Liebregts/Metroland A long-time Pickeringresident who wants trans-parency and accountabili-ty at city hall hopes to get the opportunity to ensureit happens, by being elect-ed mayor. Janice Frampton, whosays no to an airport inPickering, also says over-development in the city was a big reason she choseto run."I refuse to allow out- side big condo developersto come in, destroy, decideand dictate the future di-rection of this city," she said. "Pickering councilhad a moral obligation toconsult with its citizens inthis regard. Council has ig- nored us for the last time."Frampton is an entre-preneur and retired after 35 years working for an air-line."Over the past years,I've been involved in a lot of local and some provincialadvocacy work, always keeping a pulse on what ishappening in our commu- nity," she says.She is the founder andvice president of Taxpay-ers Coalition of Pickering and Ajax and hosted thelargest No More Taxes Ral-ly in Canada. Frampton was a Ward 1candidate in 1994 and hasbeen a campaign managerfor a provincial election, as well as a campaign a volun-teer in a federal election. FRAMPTON'S TOP THREEISSUES •Condos - she says over-development withoutproper infrastructure can- not be allowed to continueand community consulta-tion is important.•Business Development -Frampton believes keep- ing current businesses op- erational is imperative.•Transparency and ac-countability - She says it'stime for a council that is open, honest and supportcommunity-based dia-logue.
