The race is on with a theme of communication, accountability and transparency. The Municipalities of Bluewater, Lambton Shores and South Huron have all seen their own struggles in the past decade. Amalgamation required each having to make smaller communities into one large municipality. Amalgamation married rural and urban in a big way attempting to end of territorialsim of former communities. That struggle continues. Ten years later, there are many changes including technology that brings most candidates right to your computer in blogs, twitters, facebook and other social networking sights. You can get to know your candidate with a click of a button.
