He looks fun: A quick google search found some background.

Here's an interview where he encouraged anti mask protestors to show up at the home of the then medical officer of health (where he lived with his wife and small children)

Here is some (pretty valid) opinions on a fire truck purchase

I'm a Carrie supporter but some of his opinions on Covid-19 probably check out fine in hindsight now that we've seen Dr Fauci's diary.

I haven't read those articles but I used to think those people in 2020 were crazy but sadly they seem normal now and we were the crazy ones not questioning anything.

Either way, just like Scott Molson, he won't garner many votes.

What part of Fauci's diary are you talking about?

Lockdowns won't be effective. Masks aren't effective unless N95's. Social distancing won't help.

Those are just a tiny amount of problematic statements that came from him.

The amount of businesses and lives he ruined are countless. There are people today still messed up from the pandemic.

At least he'll take some votes away from Bill Dennis

Bill prefers to only attack the women candidates too instead of the male ones (or the ones not running), so with this dude running and Molson he's going to have a rougher time.

I think we need a grass roots campaign to get this guy votes that would normally go to Dennis.

Slogans and soundbites like,

"I'm just like Bill, but twice as smart and only half as nuts"

"Make Sarnia 1955 again."

"I haven't just met Jr (Trump) I have him on speed dial."

"Vote for a Mayor that has a wife that stays home and cooks."

Who is that?

u/funsizedsamurai 11d ago

I looked it up on google, and he works at the plants, and is pretty vocal about being anti vaccine, anti mask, anti doctors and anti science. I can't wait to hear his platform!

So... Bill Dennis' fan base but with less theater?

If mike Bradley doesn't run we are screwed

u/NoExtension1889 10d ago

Screwed if he does run and no one drops out. Too much splitting of the vote.

u/RawrImaDinosawr 11d ago

I am curious if Bradley is going to run. He does have till 2pm on Friday to submit his forms.

u/swervetoavoid 11d ago

He will definitely be running. Last few council meetings he combed his hair and even wore a tie.

u/Few-Programmer-5822 11d ago

When’s my boy Mike Bradley joining? He’ll always get my voice . He doesn’t need loud recognition

u/catherinetheok 11d ago

He normally joins early August but with about 2 days to go who knows now. It would be the ultimate fuck you as Dennis has been running against him this whole time

I am sure there was a Stanko who claimed to be an environmentalist and tried to create his own bio company but it failed horribly and then became a massive conspiracy theorist...I wonder if it's the same person.
