Another Response

Councillor Thompson has responded to the call. He will be there. That's a quorum. The meeting will be held. It will  be  in the council chamber.

It starts at 7P.M.

If Rogers cameras are not there. the only way you will catch the drama is to be there.

I heard about a resident last week. The family has to be quiet when council meetings are coming on. He settles down on the couch with a bowl of popcorn and prepares to watch his  show.

When the town hall was on Yonge Street, a resident of Murray Drive used to come out to meetings.The late Ian Agnew came, he said, because there wasn't anything to watch on television on Monday nights.

The room was not large. There were about twenty chairs.for visitors. Ian stomped out one night, bumping chairs as he went and told us in no uncertain terms:

"Ye're a' a bunch o' maniacs."

Ian was Scottish.

He was back at the next meeting.
