People I am not a big fan of Mario Girard and his new role as leader of the opposition at City Hall, however considering Lionel Perez I guess we have no choice. This column provides a really good summary, based on the court case, of why the situation in NDG blew up.
After reading it I was left with the feeling that we elect our city councillors and Mayors to reflect the policy and ideals of the electors, or at least thats why we bother to go vote . However in actual fact when confronted by unionized bureaucracies these officials have the same power as the kids you voted for in your High School student council. You know that sharp kid with good ideas until he meets the Principal and VP. The Principal in NDG is Stephane Plante, borough Manager.
“À l’origine de toute cette affaire se trouvent les plaintes répétées d’Annalisa Harris concernant l’indifférence de Stéphane Plante lorsqu’elle lui demandait des documents ou de l’information. L’insistance de la directrice de cabinet a été perçue comme du harcèlement psychologique par le directeur de l’arrondissement.” Psychological harassment are you kidding.
