Chapter 945

After watching TV, Qin Shiou lay on the sofa and began to brush the web page on his mobile phone. After this brush, he found that there were more news about the flower fox on the Internet. He claimed that more than tens of thousands of people around him had seen the ship. Qin Shiou was also drunk. Is it really good for everyone to lie with their eyes open?

The ship belongs to Greenland. It once carried two newlyweds who wanted to go to New York for their honeymoon. Now the descendants of one of the newlyweds have appeared and claimed to form an expedition to explore the flower fox.

From these people, the flower fox has extended more legends. The descendants of the newlyweds are the continuous blood relatives of the woman. He vowed that his maternal grandmother's family was the descendant of a wizard and believed that her maternal grandmother did not die in the North Atlantic.

Qin Shiou scratched his head. Originally, he planned to make some scary topics with the help of the flower fox, but now it seems that his mother's gang are going to make the rhythm of a fantasy blockbuster.

With the reappearance of the flower fox in people's vision, the topic of ghost ship has triggered a frenzy of public opinion. Even in winter, many people still sail to Newfoundland in the North Atlantic.

Hani, the acting mayor of farewell Island, is also a talent. He plans to take the opportunity to decorate a ship, create an atmosphere of ghost ship and engage in ghost ship tourism business.

At the last charity event in the four towns, Hamley proposed Qin Shiou to run for the mayor of the town, but after returning, Qin Shiou was not prepared because things were very busy and it was far from the election time.

Canada's government mind from the municipal level down is the same as that of the United States. It is elected by voters in the jurisdiction, about the summer of the second year after the mayoral election.

In this way, Qin Shiou hurt his ligament and couldn't move around. He settled down to understand Canada's grass-roots management system and the situation of small-scale elections.

According to the Canadian Constitution, town level elections do not need to be reported to the central government of Ottawa, but only to the municipal and provincial governments.

There are four to six candidates in each election. They can participate in the election as long as they are not deprived of political rights. If they are immigrants, they must have lived in Canada for at least one year and have contributed to the development of regional economy, politics and public utilities.

In the final vote, the candidate must obtain the largest number of votes among all candidates and obtain more than two fifths of the votes in order to become the final mayor.

From this point of view, Qin Shiou is qualified, and Hamley is right. As long as he runs, he basically doesn't run. The position of mayor is his.

Qin Shiou asked the mayor of Auerbach what he wanted to do. The old lawyer shrugged and said, "mayor? That's civil servants. They don't have to do anything. They can boast. "

This is the consistent attitude of Canadians towards civil servants. Similar to Americans, when Nixon announced to participate in the presidential election, some people questioned how he could be qualified for the position of president as a small merchant. At that time, Nixon said easily that he could become a successful businessman, and there was no problem to be a successful president.

Qin Shiou said helplessly, "come on, Dad, be serious. I really want to know the rights and obligations of the mayor."

Auerbach reacted and asked, "are you interested in this? Hamley asked you to be mayor? "

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "yes, you guessed right. What do you think?"

Auerbach shrugged, considered the wording and said, "in fact, the work of the mayor is not complicated. Farewell town is not a big town. The economy is on the right track and public security is good. You don't need to make any major choices. But I'm not sure you're right for this. "

He sat opposite Qin Shiou and began to talk slowly about the operation of small towns in Canada and the nature of the mayor's work.

In Canada, local governments operate public finance, use public power, spend taxpayers' money and take care of public interests. Therefore, the organization and personnel arrangement of local governments is relatively simple. The townspeople in small towns think whoever can lead them to develop better will be the mayor.

Qin Shiou is sure to succeed if he participates in the election, not because he has a good relationship with Hamley, but because he is highly recognized by the villagers.

As the most basic member of the local government, the town government also operates public property, has more contact with the town people, and needs to be recognized by the town people.

"It's hard to be the mayor, Qin. How do you feel about what you're doing now? It must be nice, right? Every time you go to town, everyone greets you kindly and likes to play with you, doesn't it? " Olbach asked.

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "yes, I think my popularity is good."

"The standards are different. Everyone recognizes you because you are just an ordinary immigrant. You accepted a bankrupt fishing ground and invested heavily in the town to provide 20 jobs. As a new immigrant, you have also helped us bring tourism resources. We thank you very much, but there is a premise for all this! "

"The premise is that you are just an ordinary immigrant, a good tempered and generous young man."

"If you are the mayor, that's not the case. Do you know how satisfied Hamley was when he finally left the town?"

"48%, no more than half! If the tourism industry had not been developed a year ago, it would be great if his satisfaction could reach 20% Auerbach said heavily.

Qin Shiou couldn't believe he didn't understand this.

"The mayor is a very complicated post. From the outside, all powers are unified, just like the earth emperor. In fact, this is a nanny, but not to take care of one or two children, but to take care of the whole town! "

"I told you, farewell town is a small town. It has housing authority, redevelopment Committee, education committee and Finance Committee. But in order to save money, there are some posts, but no one will do them. Who will do the relevant work?"

Facing Auerbach's eyes, the cold sweat came out behind Qin Shiou: "don't tell me, Dad, the mayor does all these jobs!"

"Now it seems that the mayor has done at least half of the work. In the past, for example, Hamley was the director of the housing, education and redevelopment Committee, but now Hani is doing it." Auerbach cruelly told him a fact.

"If you think these committees are all, it's really a joke. There are also the human resources committee, the housing cooperation department, the government business relations committee, the voter registration department, the land planning approval Council, the Design Review Council, and the children's Service Advisory Committee..." Auerbach breathed out the names of these institutions, and Qin Shiou's eyes were straight.

"These are the departments directly under your jurisdiction. You should be responsible for managing the personnel of these departments, making overall planning and being directly responsible for them!" Auerbach said.

"It's more than that. It's just the first and simplest thing..."
