The Lantzville pub hosted a mayoral debate on Sunday, November 9.
Thanks to Mike Seargeant for hosting this event. All in all I think it was a well run debate.
I recorded the event with our digital camera and have posted the videos on YouTube for those interested but were unable to attend in person.
Notes:
- The debate began with three predetermined questions. All three candidates had an opportunity to respond to each question for up to 2 minutes.
- The debate was then opened up for audience questions. Only 1 question per audience member was permitted. Councillors, either incumbents or hopefuls, were not permit to ask questions. The audience could direct the question to a specific mayoral candidate, or set of candidates. All three candidates were permitted to speak to a question regardless to whom it was originally asked.
- The session is broken into three videos.
- The video quality is not great. I do apologize for that.
Filming toward windows on a nice day created some glare.
In addition, there is some sort of autofocusing feature on my camera that I could not turn off.

Hello, my name is John Coulson. I live here in Lantzville with my wife and two children. I have developed a concern about where our community is heading. One that has grown within me to the point where I fear that we may lose what Lantzville is all about. I ultimately hope to outline my concerns through posts here on this blog. Comments are always welcome. Civility is the only rule - for now.
Thank you
Update: November 18, 2014
Election day has come and gone. I'd like extend a warm thank you to everyone who supported me at the polls and throughout this process.
I was very fortunate to have met some great residents over the past month. Residents who are passionate about this community as a whole.
We had some intense conversations about the community and the direction of it, and perhaps equally as important we had some laughs in the process.
I am looking forward to getting down to business.
John
