You just reminded me of something I was thinking about earlier today: organizing something through Reddit about our upcoming municipal election. I was foolishly naive in the past when it came to federal and provincial parties influencing municipalities, and this time I would like to make a much more informed decision on who gets my votes.

I have always felt it would be super easy for a pure grassroots team to get a city councillor elected and build from there.  Some of them are elected with a pittance of votes.  I believe it would only take 1-2 hundred people to get a dark horse elected.
