"Many saw this as The Mayors biggest mistake..."
Many would be wrong. It was an issue of little consequence

Why would they be wrong. Why would there not simply be a different opinion.
Why the obsession with who is right and who is wrong?
If it was of such little consequence, why did the decision have to be made on July 29th
Council had until August 23rd to make the appointment.
If every Councillors needed to participate, why was a date not chosen to accommodate all Councillors?
Why such an elaborate process that exploited eighteen citizens to make it look like the decision was not predetermined. ?
You really need to be either totally cynical or incredibly unintelligent to imagine the public would fall for such blatant artifice when they saw the result.
The candidates obviously did but except for one, I doubt they came away from the experience with the same respect they had at the beginning.
An appointment was indeed a simple straightforward task that hardly seemed necessary.
Hardly worth the elaborate pretext ...and certainly not to anyone's credit.
A few walked away with less respect for sure.Some are talking about it.
ReplyDeleteWe cannot put it back in the bottle.
ReplyDeleteOn a positive note, I discovered that it is possible to camp on the Oak Ridges Morraine. We spent a few days in Clarington watching & listening to country music's royalty. It was amazing how many familiar faces from Aurora/Newmarket there were in that crowd of thousands.
Oh please.... what exactly did everyone expect?? Good God... of course it was already predetermined. I don't even know why he even showed up and presented.
ReplyDeletePredetermined, 20:32? But, didn't Cllr Buck tell us that the fix was in on a completely different candidate?
ReplyDeleteTo 21:51 either way the process is flawed.FACT.
ReplyDeleteUh, not quite, 21:51. The "idea" of there being a pre-selected candidate was out there. It really did not matter who that individual might be. None of it matters now.
ReplyDelete21:51 - The fix was on a different candidate? I didn't get that anywhere from Evelyn blog.
