The 'One Seguin' Slogan

What do I mean by 'One Seguin'?

I'm a former seasonal resident and now permanent resident of Seguin township (Ward 1).

I've heard people say there's some difference of opinion in the views of seasonal and permenant residents in the township. There's two Seguins.

And I've heard people say there's some difference of opinion between residents in the different wards. There's six Seguins. Twelve Seguins.

And every person I talk to seems to have their own personal Seguin. 15,000 Seguins.

I want to focus on One Seguin. The one we're all a part of - not stuck with. Focus on that reality, embrace the benefit of our positive, diverse aspirations and realize the strength of that diversity. If we all believed the same thing about everything, Seguin would be just too damn boring. We'd all be a bunch of robots.

We also have to get over the false Golden Age that was before the amalgamation. We need to make an effort to understand what it's like to be our neighbours across the whole township. Then be a good neighbour to them - and ourselves.

And when that neighbour borrows your BBQ tongs? Well, they come back clean in an hour with your favourite BBQ chow as a bonus. Cause that's what good neighbours do. And if the BBQ tongs don't come back for six months? Let's not put sugar in their gas tanks - until we get the tongs back. That was a joke.
