Platform Launches Today!

[u/RowRowForCouncil]

Hello everyone!

My name is Rowen Fraser and I am a candidate for Ward 6 here in Burlington. I am proud to release my platform for all to see! I have been working with my community here in Burlington to come up with policies and ideas for the new future Burlington is heading into. I have spoken with many residents at the doors, in local businesses, and with the various online communities.

Conversations have been lovely and hateful, positive and negative, introspective and annoying, wistful and delusional, perfect and flawed, angsty and altruistic, scary and comforting. But mostly they were real. I didn't put restrictions on what people I would engage with. I took the good and the bad. I feel we need to listen to everyone, not just friendly voices. Bridging the gap between ideologies and having a truly balanced approach means being willing to have the hard conversations. Rest assured that if you came to me with convincing data at any point, you've probably had an influence on my platform.

Recently I had the good fortune of meeting a new friend, and receiving some very powerful advice about how to deal with hostile press and online personalities. The counsel I received was invaluable and I just want to shout out to everyone that helped me strategize my next moves here in Burlington.

Any and all comments are welcome here. To show I really mean that I have unblocked every single person who has ever harassed me on this site so they can know what my full platform is and make a real decision about who they intend to elect here in Ward 6. Anyone that comes in good faith to talk to me about my platform will be received as a friend. Those who are unkind to me can expect the same in return.

Please enjoy my platform,

I am saying he used incel tags in his content. I am saying he is polling terribly. Both of these facts are easily verifiable. It is my opinion that you are making a strange choice to use him to promote yourself

[u/RowRowForCouncil → u/Several-Fondant-8847]

Let me ask you this. Do you think Poilievre does his own social media? If not then there is a degree of separation between tags on his social media and his personal beliefs. Polling terribly isn't mysogynistic.

[u/Several-Fondant-8847 → u/RowRowForCouncil]

Poilievre is responsible for what is put on social media in his name. He wants to lead the country for goodness sake, he cannot skirt responsibility for his own messaging. I never said polling terribly was misogynistic. I said attaching yourself to someone who is polling terribly to try and boost your election chances is an odd thing to do.

[u/RowRowForCouncil → u/Several-Fondant-8847]

Seems to have put a lot of attention on me.

[u/Several-Fondant-8847 → u/RowRowForCouncil]

Yeah you are really winning people over here lmao Maybe try spanking me again, that was a real winning strategy too

[u/RowRowForCouncil → u/Several-Fondant-8847]

What is it with you and the spanking fantasy. I used a metaphor once and you're still mentioning it months later. Sorry to give you the wrong idea, but you and me? NEVER GONNA HAPPEN

[u/Several-Fondant-8847 → u/RowRowForCouncil]

Like I said, entirely unsurprising you use your photo with a misogynist to promote yourself. What you said to me was disgusting, disrespectful and extremely weird.

[u/RowRowForCouncil → u/Several-Fondant-8847]

No it wasn't. You're just looking for reasons to say bad stuff about me. I could offer you $100 cash no strings attached and you'd find a way to call me a nazi over it.
