Approaching people in downtown parking lots while riding a bicycle and wearing paint-spotted shorts, is not a good way to launch an election campaign
Hardly half an hour from Friday's 2 p.m. deadline for candidate registrations, Jeff Primeau started to realize pedaling up to complete strangers downtown might not be the best way to launch a mayoral campaign. "People are leery of someone approaching them on a bicycle, in a parking lot."
"It just felt like irresponsible spending. That definitely prompted it. Lit a little flame under me again." "I biked from Algoma Steel to city hall to pick up the forms. From city hall, I biked to the Machine Shop.""I got my wife's signature. That's the first person I want to support me in all of this," he said.
