Whether or not other council members violated the Act is speculative at best and irrelevant to the Ate who have yet to say they are sorry for lying about the meeting in the first place.

An election will only help resolve the problem if there are candidates that represent a better alternative to the present incumbents. Who would want to be a member of this Council? Why would anyone with an excellent reputation and high ethical standards want to risk tarnishing their image by joining those that were elected only to burnish their egoes?

We need a principled strong educated graceful well spoken (no thugs please) leader (Mayor) who can rise above all this garbage and council members who have ethics and understand their jobs and have them work together for the good of London. Such petty politics. London has so much potential and it never gets anywhere. Is this high school where we all act out our immaturities. These people are running a major corporation and doing a terrible job. They should be fired as would happen in any major business.

Not once did I call a Toronto lawyer to get protection. Are the people who passed through these doors similar failures--no work, hence no lawyer required? The Fontana Ate need to answer for their expenditures--not just once, twice. Don't they have any friends who are lawyers in London?Colin Hendrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460062076455326962.post-91167456604202950672014-01-19T10:05:02.438-05:002014-01-19T10:05:02.438-05:00If lawyers were really needed by these councillors...If lawyers were really needed by these councillors, it is probable that they would not find any local lawyers not tainted by some measure of interest conflict. [The Law Society places some pretty solid onus on us to be absolutely above criticism.]<br /><br />'If councillors did nothing wrong, why did they need lawyers?' goes the question from many people. Even innocent people need objective representation.<br /><br />But the real point is to be found here: EVEN IF those councillors were wrong about their actions and knew they were wrong (and I'm convinced on both points), they didn't need lawyers because they faced no punishment arising from their actions. The Ombudsman can comment but cannot do more than that. <br /><br />So given the arrogance of the Ate, why would they give a fig about what Andre Marin had to say? They are already on record as dismissing his value - even his personal worth - so they needed only to repeat the same drivel they've been uttering for several years. And they could have done that at no cost to anyone.Paul Harrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460062076455326962.post-90284776204365319942014-01-19T09:32:46.609-05:002014-01-19T09:32:46.609-05:00WHO CARES?!

They do not care about the citizens of London and feel they can do whatever they please as long as it serves their purpose at the cost of the taxpayer and not theirs. They are nothing but a bunch of self serving egotistical idiots who, in the upcoming election should ALL be voted out! I for one, will make sure my vote does not go towards Fontana and Orser. I do hope the rest of the Londoners do the same. It is time we had some honest,real transparent and ethical Councillors and a mayor to run this city. Enough harm has been done to this city already. We do not need more harm done keeping this bunch of self serving idiots in power!Bethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460062076455326962.post-45452417918921633772014-01-19T00:13:32.875-05:002014-01-19T00:13:32.875-05:00Hopefully at election time, the citizens will reme...Hopefully at election time, the citizens will remember that thanks to the Billy T's episode, we all now know that you can't trust what the Fontana Ate say. With this episode and other behaviour during their term so far, it shows me they have no integrity, no respect for rules, no respect for the citizens and no intelligence to repeat something they were warned not to do a year earlier. It does make me wonder what else they have done secretly.<br /><br />The 100 K will be worth it if it clears them all out of council so they can do no more harm to the city. It will be an interesting election this year. <br /><br />Does anyone want to donate for a billboard where we can remind the electorate to boot out these undesirable characters. I can have one available for October. They all must go. London deserves much better.Kallienoreply@blogger.com
