Thank you! That is exactly what I'm going to do and I'm going to urge everyone I know to do the same.
It's not funny anymore, it's infuriating to see him and his brother smugly sit there knowing that no one can extricate them and also see council's hands tied at the same time as there is only so much they can do. Those measures today really don't limit his power they just took away extra duties that the council gave to the mayor position back in 2006. It is merely symbolic that they have no confidence in him, but more must be done. This is a 1 in a billion case that this city will hopefully never see again, and I think it calls for extreme measures from the government. He's making a farce of the whole process by knowing how to just toe the line and stay on just-this-side of the law (for now - who knows what else will come out). Their bullying behaviour is outrageous. How is he a role model for anyone? Kids now see that you can be a crack smoking, above-the-law acting buffoon but still remain in a position of power just because of rules. I'm sorry, those rules were made for people who actually follow the rules. When someone is in such blatant disregard of rules, laws, and so out of control, the government needs to change the rules to oust said person as they can no longer effectively do their job. People have resigned for much less, hell, he has pressured people to resign for much less.
Please everyone, get in touch with your councillor and MPP and let's put an end to this fiasco.
