Ottawa Election: Who NOT to vote for-- The Jim Watson Slate

On Saturday, there was an anti-Eco Tax rally at Jim Watson's Campaign Headquarters.

Debbie Jodoin, the organizer, fired off a list of candidates who are known to be Jim Watson supporters.

The reason this issue came up is that Jim Watson, at a candidate's debate, chided Larry O'Brien for asking people to vote for like-minded candidates.

This struck Debbie as rather peculiar, to say the least, given Jim's supporters.

Here are the candidates that fiscal conservatives should NOT vote for:

WARD 1 ORLEANS: FRED SHERWIN

WARD 2 INNES: RAINER BLOESS

WARD 7 BAYWARD: MARK TAYLOR

WARD 9 KNOXDALE-MERIVALE: ROD VANIER

WARD 10 GLOUCESTER-SOUTHGATE: DIANE DEANS

WARD 11 BEACON HILL-CYRIVILLE: TIM TIERNEY

WARD 13 RIDEAU-ROCKCLIFFE: RICHARD CANNINGS OR PETER CLARK

WARD 15 KITCHISSIPPI: CHRISTINE LEADMAN

WARD 17 CAPITAL WARD: ISABEL METCALFE

WARD 18 ALTA VISTA: PETER HUME

WARD 19 CUMBERLAND: STEVEN BLAIS

WARD 22 GLOUSTER-SOUTHGATE: STEVE DESROCHES

WARD 23 KNANTA SOUTH: PERRY SIMPSON
