New Kid on the Block
The worst kept secret in Ottawa civic politics is finally official. Alex Munter announced that he is running for mayor of the nation's capital in the upcoming municipal election.The former city councillor made the announcement Monday in a news conference at a high-tech company located in the heart of his old riding of Kanata.
Munter, as readers may recall, was the media leak regarding the infamous Stephen Harper speech to a secret right-wing group in a Montreal hotel. The one that formed the basis of those drum pounding, fact twisting ads for the Her Majesty's Official Opposition. He is also an accomplished community activist.
Let's hope his opponents don't resort to the same tactics as last time.
