It looks as if Watson never left? Maybe he didn’t. He doesn’t have to be there in person to steer the ship onto the shoals. He has his little puppet, Mark Sutcliffe, to do the bidding of Jim and his gang of ne’er-do-wells. They got him into the position and clearly are calling the shots.
The good news is my Councillor voted against. The bad news is I can’t punish her in the next election Maybe I’ll have to move.
Every yes vote a disservice to Ottawa taxpayers, most of whom I suspect don’t understand how bad a deal this is.
Interesting the councillors with ridings furthest away from Landsdowne voted yes.
Speaking to Kosmo’s point, is de-amalgamation the only answer to restoring democracy in urban Ottawa?
On twitter, apparently, there is a graphic of wards that voted against in green and those voting for in black. I’d love to know where I could get a copy, because it makes a lovely black armband for Ottawa which we could use to symbolize the death of local democracy.
