I'm glad that local politicians got their signs up all over Thorold...
But any idea where I can find out about their actual positions on anything?

EDIT:
On Oct 6, Port Robinson Proud is hosting a Candidates night at the Port Robinson Community Centre - https://www.facebook.com/PortRobinsonProud/photos/a.670024393044641/5458445847535781/
On Oct 12, NBOTAC is hosting an "All Candidates" event at the Four Points right next door to City Hall https://nbotac.com/event/nbotac-all-candidates-night/
Also many of the candidates have platform websites. I'll try and dig some of them up and edit this comment later.

I don't think i've missed anybody. This is by no means any kind of official list. I found them all myself just searching on Google / FB.
The official list of registered candidates with their name, phone, and email can be found here: https://www.thorold.ca/en/city-hall/2022-registered-candidates.aspx#2022-Municipal-Councillor
Additionally, I believe that thoroldtoday.ca has done profile pieces on all/most of them at this point and tagged the articles "2022 Thorold Council" at this link: https://www.thoroldtoday.ca/tags/2022-thorold-council-444404

We can start online voting the day before that.
If you look back at https://www.thoroldtoday.ca/ most of the candidates have had a forum.

Yes you are right, you can do early voting as of Oct 11. I did edit the comment just a little bit ago and also included the info for another candidate information night in Port Robinson on Oct 6.
I actually included the info about Thorold Today as well! Along with a link to the meta tag all the profile pieces are tagged with.

Happy Cake Day Syde.
We have a good bunch running for council this year.

This is great, thank you. They should make this into a sticky somewhere!
Edit: I saw you moderate a Thorold based sub-reddit, you should repost this and sticky it to the top there!

Thats a pretty good idea, i'll go do that now.

Currently work in Woodstock and there is exactly one candidate out of a dozen that has a website listed on their sign. Seems like such an obvious first step

Just making an additional comment so you see there was another reply. I edited my original comment with much more info

It’s a mystery. No platforms required anymore.
