I did not know that I could email the Mayor. What is his Email address?
To Anon 1:38 ...
Maybe the Mayor's e-mail address is only available to his supporters and family!
Wow so one out of every 30 people here emailed or phoned the Mayor.
In Calgary that would equate to 35000 emails in days Wow Wow and Wow
I agree. Wow,wow and wow! Maybe they can post those "signed" emails on their new facebook page?
I thought people here do not have internet and needed to be reached via 2(not just 1) newspapers. I have yet to hear anything but frustration from people. So good to know now, that the cnp people are wrong, and all is well in Crowsnest Pass! Wow,wow and wow!
“146 emails and 15 phone messages most of them very favorable " and yet the counselors get no coments (that they are willing to share)in person,emails or their blogs?
Wow,wow and wow!
