Libranovirus Hits City

In their Collective wisdom or perhaps their collective anger the Citizens of Ontario totally decimated the Kathleen Wynne Liberal Government and for good reason!
.
Unfortunately, the kwynne-a-virus migrated to the federal government of PM Trudeau. Suffering from kwynne-a-virus Trudeau attempted to give himself dictatorial powers. Fortunately, the Citizens of Canada had clipped Trudeau's wings to the extent that his attempt at becoming a dictator failed in the face of the opposing parties.
.
Regrettably the Trudeau sickness known as libranovirus has now migrated to our St. Catharines Municipal Government!  Libranovirus has infected political leaders with a dearth of integrity to use a pandemic to declare dictatorial powers. 
.
The St. Catharines political leaders had no problem coming together 'on-line' for a special meeting to make major decisions regarding taxes and fees pointing to the fact that it is possible to hold council meetings 'on-line' at any time and for any reason putting a lie to the scurrilous excuse to turn power over to the "Mayor's CAO". 
.
.
Suffering from Libranovirus our political leaders, of proven low integrity, have deemed fit to bestow dictatorial powers to the City's bureaucrats to make decisions without civilian oversight! 
.
The problem with this power grab is a little matter of trust. Its difficult to trust a bureaucrat who clearly states that their new laws are posted on the City's website as if all Citizens are computer savvy and connected to the internet. A municipality cannot claim openness and transparency if any part of its Citizenry is left out of pertinent information!

The integrity challenged leaders of our community would do well to look after their own bally-wick as opposed to throwing Citizens under the bus.
.
Councilors were elected to properly husband our economy, not to rubber-stamp everything the ruling bureaucrats devise and definitely not to sit around your horseshoe listening to people proffering ways to squander our diminishing resources!
.
Looking at the bright side, it is gratifying to learn that our city is fluent in on-line services and that they are in a position to offer its Citizens, who wish to subscribe, the ability to receive all new posted laws directly to the Citizen's email, with simply a push of a button. Time to cut out the middleman and bring actual transparency directly to the Citizen. 
.
There is an old adage which says that 'silence is consent'. Perhaps that is the reason that not one of our elected City Councilors deemed it necessary to respond after our blistering article titled
'The Mayor & His Deceivers'. Not even the Councilors we contacted one on one! Not one of our mandarins bothered to challenge us on our content. Not one offered their interpretation or pointed out any misinformation - nothing! So perhaps we can be forgiven if we brag about our veracity.
