White Queen And Her Travails

Anonymous has left a new comment on my post "A Shambles":

I have 2 comments:
The first is in response to your quote,
"One delegate spoke of having to rise at five in the morning to have his child at swim practice at six."
So? That's what hockey kids and parents do all the time and kids in soccer play late at night sometimes. It's all about the number of hours in a day. I fail to see that swimmers are any different from other kids enrolled in their chosen sport.
Secondly, with respect to the following quote, I have a question:
No support there for town policies or the director responsible for upholding them. Quite the opposite.

"Clause 4 of the Code of Conduct provides a principle for elected representatives to follow in their relations with town staff."
Isn't this the very same crime that you were accused of and found guilty by the former mayor and a bunch of councillors including Gaertner? You were hung, drawn and quartered in front of the so-called Integrity Commissioner at huge expense to taxpayers, I might add.
Hypocrisy, hypocrisy, hypocrisy! ........ She obviously hasn't learned a damn thing from everything that has happened over the last few months.
She and a few others in the previous council always did give staff a difficult time but the difference is they got away with it.
My hope for this term is waning fast.

I removed a phrase from this comment. It's a quote from Alice in Wonderland.
In our current Wunderland it would undoubtedly be complained about as a threat of bodily harm.

As to your second point. The Integrity Commissioner who received that complaint
did deliver a decision. It was not to their liking so they stripped him of his authority in true Kafkaesque fashion.

Off with his head!!! Off with his head!!!

But you are right; from start to finish,the effort was a huge expense.

Say no more! Say no more! Nudge Nudge! Wink Wink!
