For some time now, Grass Roots Guelph has been critical of Guelph’s political leadership.
For the 2014 municipal election, GRG has promoted an ideology with a slate of candidates that will take Guelph in a very different direction.
This radical political alternative requires scrutiny.
The Sausage Party of Guelph is a satirical look at Grass Roots Guelph and their ideology.

In public office, you need thick skin to deal with media, opposition, supporters & your own inner demons. It’s almost like u need four skins — Guelph Sausage Party (@SausagePartyG) September 22, 2014
We call ourselves the #SausageParty because we had sausages at our BBQ. Sounded better than The Tossed Salad Party.

See people, 1 out of 18 candidates at our #SausageParty was a woman. Feels good to be tolerant of her. — Guelph Sausage Party (@SausagePartyG) September 23, 2014

We don’t have a problem with women in leadership roles. It’s just that we don’t like it here in 2014 Guelph. — Guelph Sausage Party (@SausagePartyG) September 25, 2014

Our planet has looked after itself for 6,000 years so a few more cars on the road isn’t going to make any difference. #SausageParty
