So what was going on with Chu posting pictures of Gondek's license plate? That guy is going from useless to a total train wreck!

The situation now demands nothing short of his resignation.

He would be doing himself a favour too! Maybe Chestermere will take him on, they like some drama in Council apparently haha

Anyone here good at lip reading?

If you go back and watch the actual meeting video, you don't need to lip read. She (rightfully so in my opinion) laid into him pretty good on camera.

Rise in protests led to increased enforcement at Calgary city hall, mayor says

On Tuesday morning, inside Calgary city hall, more than 20 security guards, peace officers and police – including members of the mountain bike team – filled the lobby in a show of force while, outside on the street, a handful of protesters voiced their displeasure with the city's mayor.

I've been noticing the rise in right wing protests lately. Thankfully there have been counter-protesters with larger groups, but it does seem concerning.

Not that i agree with the bag thing, but is this the best place for these kind of discussions? Im starting to get Facebook vibes from this forum with all the bitching and moaning. I like this forum because its a place to talk about buildings and development without the BS, lets keep it that way.

The forum is geared toward development, but I’m glad there’s a thread for municipal politics, otherwise it would pop up in the other threads. With this thread you know what to expect.
