It would seem the new minister is as ignorant of proper research techniques as our Council. Stupid, stupid and more stupid. That advisor needs to hand in whatever educational credentials he has and retire from providing inaccurate research findings.

While the Mayor’s drinking buddies are continuing to defend his lackluster ability is commendable considering it is against all the facts and innumerable investigations it is time to recognize he has been in over his head since the beginning. At what point will they accept this? 10 investigations, 20….? Please RHJ, simply resign and let us move on. Having your buddies blame council for your lack is getting tiresome!

I'm tired of rich elite hiding behind anonymous internet identities, pitching in on online community discussions acting like they care about community. Rich elite, such as real estate developers, just want to make more money and pay less tax. People against RHJ are either rich with alterior motives to make more money, corrupt, or just dumb and fall for the Internet lies.

City Hall is dysfunctional because most people who work there are incompetent, including the Community Services department in a different building. People have just lost awareness of common sense and what is best for community. Money, greed, laziness, and incompetence are behind most councillors' decisions. All city staff are overpaid. This city has gone from an amazing beautiful place to live to feeling like a third-world country in the last 10 years. City departments have all gone rogue making their own decisions, spending millions of dollars. Our garbage, recycling and other services have been reduced to services worse than those in any third-world country I've ever seen. Meanwhile not a single resident is happy with any of it. Drug addict zombies attacking people on the streets. Killer dogs on the loose. Theft and crime higher than ever before. Shootings, stabbings. RCMP can't find a single missing person. People out there getting away with murder. They can't replace a bridge, let alone clean up the trash of the burned one. Endless construction projects with out-of-control budgets
Property values are actually going down. All while property taxes are going up. It's time to move.
