Smart City, Clever People - Blair for Mayor 2025: May Day Jay Day

the Challenge of Reason

Send the signal to the top of the table.

In the civic dialog surrounding leadership for Christchurch being largely mediated by the hard copy editors of the forth estate, new media; the Internet is the natural vehicle for independent thinking, participation and coordination. (ie: see http://canterburyissues.org.nz/)

The 2025 local body elections Christchurch will 'mandate' a direction for the cities foreseeable future from the collective fog of signals it sends in electing the head of the Council table.

Such is your mayoral vote. Your vote for reason is a vote for rating equity, for affordable and accessible services and for intergenerational equity; [and more].

If you wish to cast a vote that will deliver beyond 'business as usual' outcomes then consider;

The writer's 50 years of examination of our drug laws has evolved into a comprehensive, long-term effort to bring about meaningful reform of drug policy on many levels. The principal objectives of this effort are:

reductions in crime and public disorder; improvement of the public health; better protection of]. children; and wiser use of scarce public resources.

Are these worthy aspirations? Worthy of the future Mayor of Christchurch?

It was these very aspirations that sent Seattle drug policy law proponent Roger Goodman of the King County Bar Association to the Washington State Senate. Seattle, [And subsequently to Washington DC as a Federal Senator] Our Sister City, is away ahead of us here in Canterbury, (despite Mayor Moore's 'Time to Talk').

I see my symbolic stand for Mayor as raising awareness of the uncivil consequences of drug prohibition and how getting it right has an evidential billion dollar dividend, all that represents.

Send YOUR signal to the top of the table.

Vote Blair4Mayor.raising awareness of the consequences of drug prohibition and just about everything else others are either (a) intellectually bereft or (b) to compromised by being locked into the paradigm of failure to discuss.

Time to Talk, Time to Vote.....
