Jerald Sibbeston wants to end what he considers brazen abuses of power by those in the city's upper ranks.

SA国际影视传媒淚'm not saying anyone is getting SA国际影视传媒� as far as I know SA国际影视传媒� little brown envelopes full of cash from anyone,SA国际影视传媒� the self-described entrepreneur told Yellowknifer on Tuesday.

SA国际影视传媒淚'm talking about the type of corruption that comes when you're so unafraid of the public that you know you'll never lose your job.SA国际影视传媒�

Pitching himself as the SA国际影视传媒渁nti-corruptionSA国际影视传媒� candidate, Sibbeston announced his bid for mayor on Facebook last week.

Sibbeston says that if elected, he will fix what he calls the SA国际影视传媒渢oxic culture of corruption and animosity towards the publicSA国际影视传媒� by the city's upper management, primarily by installing an elected ombudsperson to field complaints from the public against city staff.

SA国际影视传媒淭his will be an elected position that can terminate anyone at city hall with cause,SA国际影视传媒� he wrote in an Aug. 29 Facebook post.

Sibbeston was motivated to run for office after coming to an impasse with the city over management's decision to ban him from the Fieldhouse.

Last March, Sibbeston was temporarily barred from using the recreation facility after he threatened a staff member, according to the city.

Sibbeston, who did not have running water at his home and had been showering at the facility without paying, refutes the claim he acted indecorously.

SA国际影视传媒淥nce senior staff has made a decision, it's permanent and final and irrevocable,SA国际影视传媒� he said on Tuesday, adding that he is still banned from the Fieldhouse.

SA国际影视传媒淭here's no recourse whatsoever.SA国际影视传媒�

The candidate has been a fiery critic of the municipal government online, voicing displeasure over the city's handling of the inquiry into workplace misconduct at the Municipal Enforcement Division, and rebuking the SA国际影视传媒減olitical classSA国际影视传媒� in comments on Facebook and CBC.

He said allegations of bad behaviour at the bylaw enforcement division constitute SA国际影视传媒渁 hallmark of corruption at City Hall, at least in that one division.SA国际影视传媒�

Running for mayor gives him a platform from which to trumpet his anti-establishment, anti-status-quo message.

A born and raised Yellowknifer, Sibbeston wants to clean up the city's SA国际影视传媒渄erelict back streetsSA国际影视传媒� and improve the city's SA国际影视传媒渇ailingSA国际影视传媒� sewer system.

He also proposes supporting houseboaters by building a wharf with power, sewer and water services and garbage pick-up.

SA国际影视传媒淭he war is over houseboaters!SA国际影视传媒� he proclaims on his Facebook page.

The son of former premier and senator Nick Sibbeston, Sibbeston said he has never thought of himself as a member of upper society.

He readily admits that he doesn't SA国际影视传媒渞oll in the dough.SA国际影视传媒�

SA国际影视传媒淚 drive a 2002 Honda that I keep together with my own two hands,SA国际影视传媒� he said.

But he says does have a degree in political science from Carleton University and subscribes to a political philosophy he calls SA国际影视传媒渓ibertarian utilitarianism,SA国际影视传媒� which he describes as the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people with as little government intrusion as possible.

SA国际影视传媒淚 am John Q. Public,SA国际影视传媒� he said.

SA国际影视传媒淚'm not your typical candidate.SA国际影视传媒�
