Confidential motion released—proposed suspension of Chirico’s mayoral duties
44
And there you have it folks. The decision was made before the doors were closed. No debate just a forced vote which was probably lead by the notorious group of 7. They did succeed in doing one thing though. They succeeded in creating a risk to public confidence and effective governance. It is no longer a risk it is a fact. IMO the majority of people have absolutely no respect or trust for Peter Chirico. Thus no confidence at all in effective governance. How that group of 7 supported him in the first place and continue to support him is mind boggling. Now that this is in the open I feel the motion should be presented again and debated properly. Not behind closed doors.

Not only did the Mayor and Council diminish the reputation of the City of North Bay, they also diminished the authenticity of the criminal system, the municipal political system, the police services of two different authorities (NBPS and OPP).Thank you Mr. Lowery and BAYTODAY.ca for stepping in and for helping the citizens of North Bay through this pathetic display of democratic disfunction on all fronts.Why was one person allowed to take up so much resources and time and expense, both monetary and reputational, when he should have been arrested, charged with theft over $5,000.00, and removed from office in the first place?Resign Chirico!

I think we can guess what to expect based on her performance as a council member. She and Chirico will be a great one/two punch.

No comment Lana Mitchell is finally heard from! The bad news is she is part of the problem facing the Conservation Authority we can only hope that amalgamation of the Authorities will see her shuffled off into the wilderness never again having to worry about making comments on anything. If not during the amalgamation she will be a foot note in the history of the “Bay” come November!

When our long term ally and trading partner becomes unreliable, we need to diversify. IMO, it’s good to see action on that front, as opposed to just rhetoric. We need to stop bending the knee and placating the King in the South. If the other 96% of the world's population would cooperate and isolate/sanction the US, they may start to play nice. Use the same tactics on them that they like to use on so many other countries. They may be rich and powerful, but they are not capable of taking on the entire rest of the globe.

Wow talk about the fox in the hen house the person who has been part of the problem is now the person in charge. No comment Lana reminds me of the picture of the three monkeys “Here no, see no do no evil”! Hopefully between now and the end of November when she will be gone steps are taken to limit the harm she is causing. Time for the Ministry to shut down this Authority in a similar manner to what was done with the School Boards that weren’t functioning. November elections cannot come soon enough Lana, King Peter and the rest of his court jesters will be gone.

I laughed at her comment “ I’m OK with being accountable “ Every time she’s asked a question she suddenly becomes deaf & mute

So tell me, Vic. How many ELECTRIC vehicles are made in Canada? Seems like the Chinese are directly competing with Tesla, not GM/Ford/Toyota. Seems like a opportunity to get into manufacturing parts for electric vehicles. But I forgot... you only say what Doug tells you to.

The cowards on council could still do it, but we hold out zero hope that they'd look in the mirror and do the right thing for the tax payers.

A display of corruption that is out of control by King Peter. Now he has his puppet in place with full control. Now he will buy the Ski Hill and building way under market value. Good for the city of North Bay but that’s only if it remains within city assets. On the flip side of this the municipalities that surround us get taken advantage of once again. I only point this out as it was 3 board members not from North Bay that helped me obtain a permit and fight against King Peter and Puppet Lana.Us Northerns use to stick together.Out with corruption......In with Common Sense......Glen Langlois (Father Glen)

Glen, just a friendly word of advice. If you are serious about entering Municipal politics you might want to consider addressing local politicians by their names & not the nick names assigned to them by angry voters. These nick names may sit well with many commentors on social media but it's viewed as disrespectful & inappropriate in the political arena. Also, it's kinda "Trumpish" lol.

As I’ve mentioned many time 4 lanes isn’t the answer to prevent collisions. Since drivers don’t seem to want to change their driving habits then Police presence and enforcement is the only answer.

When does one realize that their plate is full and limit the committes they are on to give full attention to them ? Too many irons in the fire doesn't give enough heat for progress !
