The 2006 Brantford municipal election was held on November 13, 2006, to elect a mayor, councillors, and school trustees in the city of Brantford, Ontario. ==Results (partial)== *Fred Minna supported the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario and the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada in the late 1990s and early 2000s. He wrote a letter endorsing the provincial government of Mike Harris in the 1999 provincial election and was the vote organizer for Brant in the 2003 Progressive Conservative Party of Canada leadership convention.〔Fred Minna, "PCs have made economy strong" (), ''Brantford Expositor'', 1 June 1999, A11; Susan Gamble, "Local Tories back Orchard," ''Brantford Expositor'', 29 March 2003, A5.〕 He sought election to the Brantford city council in 1997 and 2006, finishing third both times. *Russell H. Skelton ran unsuccessfully for Brantford City Council in 1994, 2003, and 2006. Thirty-eight years old during the 2003 election, he ran on a platform of greater consultation with the electorate and increased road safety.〔Michael-Allen Marion, "Seven candidates running in Ward 5," ''Brantford Expositor'', 4 November 2003, C7.〕 *Duane LeeAllen has been active with Brant Artscapes.〔"New home for Brant Artscape," ''Brantford Expositor'', 17 April 2003, C3.〕 He was thirty-four years old during the 2006 election. LeeAllen ran in opposition to the city's proposed culture plan, arguing that it inappropriately privileged the non-profit sector to the detriment of private businesses. He also pledged to make culture events more affordable for low-income residents.〔Michael-Allan Marion, "Candidate wants city to rethink cultural plan LeeAllen joins Ward 5 race," ''Brantford Expositor'', 13 May 2006, A5.〕 *Dale Renout is a Baptist clergyman. He has a bachelor's degree in religious education and described himself as working toward a Master of Divinity in 2006.〔(Trustee Vote 2006 ), Dale Renout (Wordpress page), 2006, accessed 28 January 2011.〕 He has served on the Grand Erie board's special education committee.〔"Grand Erie public board -- Brantford (Four to be elected)," ''Brantford Expositor'', 8 November 2000, D13.〕 Renout has run for public office on four occasions. He ran for the Brant County Public School Board and its successor Grand Erie District School Board in 1994, 2000, and 2006, and also for the Brantford city council's fifth ward in 1997.〔Cheryl Baslaugh, "Political novices could be in tough," ''Brantford Expositor'', 26 October 2000, A8. He was forty-two years old in 2000.〕 Renout wrote an equivocal public letter on the invasion of Iraq in 2003, saying that he was "not a proponent of war" but adding that, in his view, some justice was needed for the victims of Iraq's regime.〔"What price peace?; Dear Editor," ''Mississauga News'', 26 February 2003, p. 1. An improperly rendered version of this letter had been published in the same paper three days earlier. The first version of the letter improperly attributed to Renout the statement, "I am a proponent of war." See also Dale Renout, "Canadian peacekeepers have become targets of violence" (), ''Brantford Expositor'', 2 February 2004, A8.〕 Although Renout was personally opposed to same-sex marriage, he described some same-sex marriage opposition in Canada as "hate mongering" and called for churches to focus on humanitarian issues.〔Dale Renout, "Churches have other challenges," ''Brantford Expositor'', 21 December 2004, A14.〕 In 2006, he wrote in favour of continuing Canada's military mission in Afghanistan.〔Dale Renout, "Canada must stay the course," ''Brantford Expositor'', 21 March 2006, A6.〕 He has been critical of both the federal Conservative Party and the federal Liberal Party for their records in office.〔Dale Renout, "Conservatives no different," ''Brantford Expositor'', 8 February 2006, A8.〕 ''Source: (Official results: City of Brantford ).'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brantford municipal election, 2006」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
