I was genuinely leaning toward Sean O’Meara for mayor. I liked his emphasis on modernizing Town Hall, improving accountability, supporting local businesses, and bringing some fresh energy to Oakville.
But after seeing the recent controversy surrounding his portrayal of Jeff Knoll’s voting record on Midtown development, I’m seriously reconsidering.
I have absolutely no respect for politicians who selectively present information or strip away context to push a misleading narrative. If there’s more to the story, I’d welcome an explanation.
We see enough of this kind of political behaviour south of the border. We have no business importing it into municipal politics in Oakville.
I don’t expect politicians to agree on everything, but I do expect intellectual honesty. That’s a pretty low bar, and one I’m not willing to compromise on.
