Aligning our city with what we want

<p>The day I signed up to run for mayor was a busy one. I woke up early for a radio interview, got the kids out the door, ran around gathering my last nomination signatures, drafted an essay, went to City Hall, and then had a flurry of phone calls to deal with a close family member hospitalized at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (if I were running for premier with health care responsibilities you&rsquo;d be hearing a lot more about that!)</p> <p>When I finally got home, the last thing I wanted to do was make dinner. So I ended up cooking some frozen pizzas from the grocery store. The problem with that is, I felt really bad about it. Industrial frozen pizzas don&rsquo;t align with my values. They don&rsquo;t have healthy or regenerative ingredients, they have lots of packaging, and the money I spent to buy them goes to some giant multinational that pays their factory workers a tiny fraction of their CEOS, so the local return is minimal to say the least.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@stclimenhaga/aligning-our-city-with-what-we-want-fe4b03a5f40f"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
