It amounted to nothing new; nil, zilch and zero
Three neighboring residents were present. Council was ready to move to the next item on te agenda. But not before Councillor Gaeertner took a swipe at the Director of Planning and placing blame entirely upon his shoulders.
For any other Councillor, it would have been an odd contradiction.
Just the week before, in a discussion on Code of Ehics versus Code of Conduct, the Councillor had reiterated her preference for the Code of Conduct because it provides opportunity for punishment of others.
The Code of Conduct had teeth. All the better to bite a person.I assume.
Clause 4 of the Code of Conduct requires a Councillor to "Refrain from publicly criticizing individual members of staff in a way that casts aspersions on their professional competence and credibility."
The Code also requires a Councillor to regularly read and understand The Code and sign two copies to signify to each other and all stakeholders they have read , understood and accept it.
It's such a crock.
None of the Gang of Six ever saw a rule that applied to them. Nothing has changed.
Nothing on a candidate registration form guarantees an ability to read and understand the alphabet, let alone guaranteeing intelligence, judgement and integrity , simply by virtue of having been elected to public office.

Clr. Gaertner is herself an odd contradiction.
A lot of the time she makes no sense whatsoever. This is usually when she is trying to make a serious contribution to the discussion around the table.
She should get someone to write position papers for her, that at the appropriate moment she can read to those assembled.
She might not understand what she is reading, but the others will.
I had been wondering what council would do when faced with Bell's refusal to waste any time or money on discussions with Aurora about a cell tower in King.
In the Auroran a few weeks ago, Councillor Ballard was quoted as looking forward to talks with the Mayor of King. Wonder how that went.
No doubt this enhanced the Director of Planning's opinion on how Councillor Gaertner does her job.
To be honest, I frequently bail out on Councillor Humpfryes' run-on sentences. A stream of them leaves me gasping so that the eventual vote can come as a surprise.

I find it ironic that a woman who signed onto that non-defamation lawsuit with town funds under the pretext of ' protecting ' staff continues to attack staff members. How many did they dispose off when in office? Her mic should have been cut off .
The Conservative Convention scheduled for Calgary has been cancelled. Does anyone have any ideas about what they will do now ? An alternative site?
Wherever the Dictator Stephen Harper wants it.
