Oh the damage he did in 2 years.
Oh the good he did in 2 year terms.
And we still have the questionable objections to the siting of the Croatian Centre.
And we want the TEAM/Vision/CopeLite in power for 4 years under new proposed rules?
And we want the NPA/Liberals/Conservatives in power for 4 years under new proposed rules?
What’s wrong with 1 year terms as we had for 100 years? Then they all could run for Victoria or Ottawa and get back on council, or Canada’s only Parks Board if they lose that year.
