The municipal election is still eight months away, but Victoria voters will have a choice to make when it comes to selecting their mayor.
Rob Duncan, whose website describes him as a B次元官网网址渇ormer academic, child poverty activist (and more broadly, a social and environmental activist), feministB次元官网网址� and other attributes, has declared his intention to run for mayor against Lisa Helps.
Among his stated priorities are addressing the housing affordability crisis in the city, instituting a moratorium on further construction of separated bike lanes until usage increases, promoting fare-free buses coming in and out of the downtown and hosting regular citizenB次元官网网址檚 assemblies to improve the democratic process in Victoria.
Duncan, a Fernwood resident, has a PhD in developmental psychology and is partway through a second doctorate in political sociology.
He ran for mayor against Lisa Helps and then-mayor Dean Fortin in 2014, in the guise of Changes the Clown to spotlight child poverty and advocate for a municipal living wage.
