A good patient. Is anyone? I take sickness as an insult to my well-being. I give voice to my discomfort.I don't even try to be good-natured or uplifting.There are limits to what I am physically willing to endure. I said I wouldn't talk about it. I changed my mind.
The medication is taking its course. My head is clear. From the neck down, pain persists in muscles and joints.I have six more days of anti-biotic. No doubt things will improve along the way.
Out-going Councillor Stephen Granger is asking for a re-count of votes. Apparently he has difficulty accepting the same fate as several of his closest associates. There will be a cost of $25Ks. which will be on top of the cost of the election.
Seven years, ago when outgoing Councillor Mac Eachern demanded a recount of my votes, by way of a friendly welcome back, regulations required a re-count under a certain number of votes. My votes were well beyond it.
Now there is no automatic requirement for a re-count. The election machines have proven their accuracy time and time again. Including my own.
There's little chance the vote will change. So the $25Ks will be an expensive lollipop soother for aloser
A few nights ago, a few new Councillors met to-gether. It takes time to calm down after winning. Winning is better than losing.
The outgoing Mayor joined the group to assure them of availability if they needed any advice. It must be hard to let go.
Assurance was offered and a statement made, there would soon be a by-election.
Wishful thinking maybe.

"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

Why would there be a by-election? Is someone leaving?
Why would anyone seek her advice? And on what? About how to retain lawyers and spend others' money perhaps?
I can't imagine what the insinuation in this is.
Would she really suggest what I think she is suggesting?
And anyway, she does not support by-elections. We know that much at least.
"Assurance was offered and a statement made, there would soon be a by-election.

Maybe you should have the former mayor investigated for threats against your health....
:)
Evelyn, please elaborate. Why would anyone think there will be a by-election? I don't see any of the newly elected not serving. I don't see Gallo or Gaertner not serving, and certainly you don't intend to not serve, what's up?
Geoff better have a chat with his new class mates (quickly)to explain the dangers of associating with the old guard , If these good folks didn’t get the message the voters sent to these fools and distance themselves accordingly, they are playing with fire
A by-election? My heavens they haven't even taken the oath and somebody is already planning to quit! wink, wink.
I have to admit it would be pretty funny to see Morris, MacEachern, Granger and Wilson duke it out for the seat. Just try to imagine what each would have to say about their opponents. Maybe we could have a fourway debate. Hell, I'd even pay for a ticket to see that!
Glad you won, Evelyn. Whatever happens in the next four yours, I know you will always give as good as you get.

BY-ELECTION - REALLY???
Please don't tell me there is ANY chance of the ballot boxes being contaminated.
Surely staff responsible have stored them in a secure way.
MAYOR DAWE will have his hands full so lets all give him the support, and time, he needs to do the job for which he was so over-whelmingly elected!!!
Why put any stock in Ms. Morris' musings about a by-election.
It is well documented that she is against by-elections (refer Grace Marsh situation). Ms. Morris is now the ex-Mayor. Lets move on and look forward to a new era in Aurora politics.
I think Gallo will fly the coop!
