Congratulations to Ron Lynn Ward 2 & 6 School Trustee. I hope you will put in as much energy in taking care of the community's children as you did to get Elected - Bless your Heart.

Hello and Ni hao Wards 2 and 6!

​

Just got home after viewing the results of the election and to be honest I am blown away by the support I received from you, the voters, in these 2 wards. I cannot thank you enough for voting and especially for casting 40.1% of the votes in my favour. A total of 11,194 votes were cast and you gave me an overwhelming 4,547 of those votes.

​

Although I did not win, I consider the residents of Wards 2 and 6 to be the winners. I was able to provide you, the voters, with a choice. With your votes and the posted results, you have put both the School Trustee and School Board on notice that you have issues with the existing system.

​

Good night to you all and I will have more to say to you tomorrow.

Hello and Ni hao Wards 2 & 6,

​

I just want to outline how I came to be in your lives this Election. My initial plan for this Election was to help Shanta Sundarason get elected Regional Councillor; however, that plan changed on August 19,2022 @10am. That was the day the residents in Wards 2 & 6 were going to lose their chance to elect a school trustee (or complain about an existing one). If only 1 Candidate runs, he/she is Acclaimed (no need for a vote)

​

I hope that my running for School Trustee has given you the opportunity to ask questions of the Candidates. I know that I have answered a number of relevant questions about the direction the school system is going . I hope that Ron, being the incumbent, has answered many more. Having an acclaimed school trustee would have meant that your questions might have gone un-answered. Instead, by my joining the campaign, your questions and concerns became very important & relevant for both of the candidates.

​

I hope you took full advantage of the opportunity during the last 9 weeks and I look forward to answering many more questions in the next 4 years.

​

Just want to wish all the candidates Good Luck - mayoral, regional, ward and school trustee. It has been an interesting journey, one I am glad that I chose to take!

Since 'transparency' is a word that has been bandied about quite frequently this election, I am outlining my financial expenditures BEFORE not after the election.

I found out that if I had the time to raise money I would be allowed to spend around $38,000 on this election. In reality I spent 2% of this on my campaign which included the $100 application fee.

My total expenses amounted to $678.81 which included business cards, door hanger promotion material, stickers, laser toner cartridges, paper and 2 magnetic car signs.

If elected I will treat Taxpayers' (your) money with the same financial acuity I used in my campaign.

Please, if you have already voted - Thank you very much. If you have not voted - it is easy, painless and SOOO important.

October 14, 2022 - Voting Has Begun!

​

Hello and Ni hao to all Ward 2 & 6 Voters,

​

Today we begin the 10 day voting sprint towards electing a new Municipal Government to rule over us for the next 4 years.

If you are happy with Markham as it is today, you should Re-Elect the people who got us here.

 

If you think WE CAN DO BETTER, vote for New Candidates with new and fresher ideas.

​

As for my desire to be your NEW school board trustee - I will give you, the parents, and your children my FULL 100% attention - YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN, not politicians / not unions / not a desire to use your children as a stepping stone to Higher Government positions (Ward and Regional Council). You and your families will be my one and only priority; and in 4 years one of you, a member of the Ward 2 or 6 Community, will take over my Position of School Trustee, as it should be.

​

October 12, 2022 - Voting Begins on October 14

Hello Wards 2 & 6 -  Ni hao

​

The time has come for you to STEP-UP. "A Bad Government is Elected by Those Who Don't Vote". Let's get together and vote in a GOOD GOVERNMENT.

​

If you were Lucky enough to read my Literature (after sorting through everyone else's), you'll see that some of the current Candidates were former School Trustees - this will never be me . My sole purpose in this election is to represent the children and their parents when dealing with the School System - I'm not here to make plans for my next step up the political food chain (Ward Councillor/Regional Councillor). I'm here to help you and your families and to help you or one of your neighbours become the Next School Trustee (living in Ward 2 or 6) in 4 years.

​

I'll be at the busier corners in Wards 2 and 6 next week waving at YOU. You won't be able to miss me - so please wave back.

​

If you are still here - Please Don't Forget To Vote; and a vote for me would be appreciated!   Xiexie

OCTOBER 3, 2022 - We Can't Even Vote For Ourselves

When I decided to run for School Trustee, I didn't realize that the only 2 School Trustee Candidates for Wards 2 & 6 don't live in Wards 2 OR 6.

While canvassing, I've met many great people in these wards and I agree that IT'S TIME for a CHANGE. If you are serious about CHANGE, when you see the words "INCUMBENT" or "RE-ELECT" vote for the other person - this is the only way to guarantee a Change will happen.

NOW for MY PROMISE: The people of WARDS 2 & 6 deserve a School Trustee that LIVES in WARDS 2 or 6. If elected I will serve only 1 term. During this 4 year term, I will be a FULL-TIME school trustee helping children and parents deal with the POLITICS of our school system and I will also help forward your issues to City Hall. I will also be working with Citizen Groups in Wards 2 & 6 to put forward a group of local people who will run for the 2026 School Trustee Elections (you or your neighbour should be the next School Trustee). On October 14 - 24, vote for the candidate who you feel will provide the best support for YOUR community.
