I am over playing politics for at least four years,but to all people that think politics is a easy game ,below is the first correspondence with the spectator. Politics is a tough game
In today's Spectator it refers to my name as Edward Graydon this was either a political move to make it harder to find me ,or the spectator gets its information on candidates from a source other than city hall. I am "shocked that the spectator could make such a mistake.When a candidate registers his application for mayor, the city clerks office is really quite specific in asking how you want your name to appear on the ballot box.I was adamant that it appear as Edward H.C Graydon, "my birth name" .I have brought this issue up with the city clerks office, and Tony has been of great help.I believe that the staff at city hall have done every thing in their power to make sure,that the information shows my accurate birth name Edward H.C Graydon ,"and they have".Does the Spectator not get there information directly from city hall or do they rely on bad sources that give almost slanderous information .This in its own, is not all that much of a concern,but it does make it harder for people to learn about other candidates.It is not required by City hall to release my profession, it is for me to inform the voters.The Spectator has stated that I am a blogger,but in fact I "trade stock"and am a private investor . Considering that I have "never given", this information to city Hall.I question "how", and "what| they are thinking at the news room. I believe that this shows very little concern to inform the voters as to the truth,or it is plain bad reporting on their part? What are they doing ?are they just lazy? I think maybe to lazy and complacent to report accurate information.I have little doubt that the reporter used Wikipedia as the source for the information and not Hamilton's official web site.
I hope this stops,and these issues are quickly rectified for the sake of Democratic, and transparent elections in our City.
Yours truly
Edward H.C Graydon
