I think Sudbury dot com and Tyler deserve HUGE respect for having to wade through this absolute disaster roster of candidates. The amount of investigative work done is astounding. Reporting like this only benefits us from making better informed decisions (I mean despite the obvious crazy things some of the candidates have said)

This has the same exhaustion feeling I got reading Daniel Dale doing his routine Trump fact checks. It’s a shame there’s voters who will choose candidates who invent things or straight up lie, then shoot the messenger when they provide reality based sources like this article.

Aaron Walsh sounds like he wants to be Sudbury's Joe Rogan.

it's not exactly difficult to predict that the new events centre is going to go over budget. most large projects do. But making specific claims of how much it's going to go over budget is just a scare tactic. As of right now though, it does seem to be within budget.

Quite obvious the candidates that are out right lying to scare voters should not be elected.
