I know. It surprised me too. The level of frustration must have been high.

I just came here to post the same. Though I'm kind of surprised that councillors would say things like this about each other in public.

Civility has its' limits, and I am not at all sure why anyone should be bound by it dealing with someone who just wouldn't follow the rules.

The BBC has a short piece on obscure words. http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20180425-twelve-obscure-words-with-delightful-meanings

One is Mamamouchi. The definition is really suitable for 'our Mammo".

mamamouchi n. A pompous title, from that supposed to have been conferred by the Sultan on M. Jourdain in Molière's play, ‘Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme’; hence, one who takes such a title; an ostentatious, self-important, and ridiculous pretender.

If I have to read one more piece about Mammo's stupid f*cking flag pole.

Secret report says Toronto councillor Giorgio Mammoliti threatened city staff over controversial land deal

If he wasn't an elected official he would have been fired by now.

The amount of sociopathic BS we are willing to tolerate in the name of elected representatives is rather high - and getting higher.

Paul Ainslie, who is the ward 43 councillor but put forward a motion to have a bus go down to Bluffers Park in Crawford's ward 36, isn't invited to the inaugural run of the bus this Sunday. I hope this link works:

If it doesn't, it's a post from Crawford saying how happy he is that he and Tory will be on the first run. The person running the board said he hoped Ainslie would be invited since it was his idea. He replied that he wasn't invited. I remember when we had the ice storm in 2013, Ainslie was helping people in his ward as well as other wards. I had friends in 36 who had no power for a week and Ainslie was the one that helped get power back on their street.

If he was a cop he'd be on paid leave by now.

Haha

And he'd probably get it for 5 years while the case winds through the courts.

But...at least he won't have access to an expense account.

I think I loathe De Baeremaeker as much as Mammoliti

At least with Mammolitti you know that he is dumb enough to believe the positions he is stating.

With De Baeremaeker you know he knows better and is just purely politicking and lying through his teeth. I don't think there is an Ontario politician that blatantly lies as frequently as Glen De Baeremaeker.

I am so disgusted by him. He's lying because he knows people will likely vote him in anyway.

Deputy Mayor Stephen Holyday rises to say he will not support the TOCore plan for downtown Toronto. He is concerned about what the plan will mean for people from outside downtown travelling in via car.

That’s great! It saves time! I had no idea there was a TOCore plan but now I know I’m totally for it and I don’t have to read it.

 

[Soop]

Boy, Tory really has incredibly bad taste in Deputy Mayors (the official ones). Did he promise to cut down some trees for Holyday if he votes along 'party' lines?
