Umm... Mammoliti votes no on a motion regarding his own position on a board? Is that not a conflict of interest?

A relatively minor one, compared to his other transgressions. He will see his day.

Councillor @jimkarygiannis questioning the meeting schedule with Orthodox Christmas scheduled for Jan. 7, 2015 #TOpoli

Ottawa doesn't miss him.

Ottawa doesn't miss him.

Great, we have two Mammolitis in council now.

I really went, wtf?? when I heard that. Even Tory was confused and asked him to clarify.

Now Clr. Mammoliti stands up to back up Clr. Karygiannis' Orthodox Christmas concern. It appears alliances have formed.

Sigh...

He used to be my MP and was absentee as I recall, but why the WTF with this, there are thousands of orthodox and Ukrainian Catholics who do celebrate/take that day off in Toronto, but, now that I think about it I thought the Greek Orthodox switched to the modern calendar, to which I too would be saying WTF?

ETA looks like I was wrong, Greek Orthodox also Jan 7,

Isn't that all it takes?

EDIT: The only defence I've seen pass is if the vote should not have happened, which I don't think this is the case here.

Mayor Tory asks for further nominations for a speaker. Crickets.

Ford is back in habit he adopted as mayor of asking for repeated recorded votes. And so, Carroll becomes deputy speaker by unanimous vote.

edit -- I see that Tuscani01 already asked that question.

 

[Tuscani01]

Funny how the left voted no for Nunziata, and not a single person on the right voted no for Carroll.

 

[StatGeek]

It not a left or right thing. It's a Nunziata has shown to be absolutely incompetent for the job.

Nunziata had four years to show her ability for the job and failed but gets it again. Great "change of culture" Tory.

No, Greek Orthodox Christmas is December 25th, Easter is a whole other story.

 

[Kat's Meow]

No, Greek Orthodox Christmas is December 25th, Easter is a whole other story.

Many of the Orthodox christian faith celebrate Xmas on January 7. That is a fact.

ETA: You are correct about Easter.

According to Mayor John Tory's itinerary, he's announcing his "plan to cut traffic congestion" tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. #TOpoli

Jennifer Pagliaro @jpags
Also, that information came by itinerary to press gallery - which Tory promised to send on the daily.

How can this not be seen as an improvement?

More paper. Less trees. Planet dies.
