DOES CITY COUNCIL WANT TO GROW MUSHROOMS?

The proposed amendments to the code of conduct bylaw that could go into effect this week make me think of the mushroom strategy, which says "keep em in the dark and feed em BS."

This Wednesday & Thursday, City Council will address a number of proposed changes to the code of conduct bylaw that concerns the public accountability of the same City Councillors. Unless I misread the Journal article, I think City Council has too much input into the code of conduct bylaw as it concerns Council itself.

Ward Anirniq Coun. Erin Rutherford says holding councillors accountable to the public is the point of this process. She thinks council needs to know more about the intended and unintended consequences of the clauses that are being proposed, and that they haven’t had time to really, fully shore that up and that it should be sent back for more work.

This is along the lines of Bill C 67, Although I would agree that misinformation is a challenge, it is compounded by the fact that the Government will define the terms with a potentially political or biased polemic that could be tyrannical and coercive.
