Interesting that these are the very same people who would not spend $1,000 to test Municipal water supply for manganese. Also interesting that these are the very same people who voted NOT to help the then emerging Food Bank 'No More Tears'. Just as a university professor must profess something these so called 'councilors' should be in a position to 'counsel' something. So far they sure haven't been sterling examples of restraint. Wasn't it less then 6 months ago that they made a similarly expensive trip to Toronto where, incidentally, once again hooked up with Green Party celebrities? Convenient isn't it when our councilors can hook up with their chosen federal and provincial party representatives. As for networking and socializing what the heck do they think Skype is for? Right now I think that the people of West Nipissing should start Growing vegetables and STOP electing them to Council.
Glad we are not funding this incompetence or blatant disrespect to the over all need for change. They tax your lives for the sake of global warming and invest billions in communication technology to develop platforms such as zoom and Skype yet the ignorance and hypocrisy shows abundant in those you have chosen to follow. Not one representative of mine stands among them that I have funded. I will not follow leadership that isn't qualified to lead me. Civil servants dismissed. Good luck out there, you're going to need it.
WHAT A DISGRACE FOR OUR COMMUNITY!! They should have to pay back the entire cost of this event. Taxpayers are not responsible for councillors socializing activities or other hidden agenda other than the reason why they are attending an event. Mme Mayor and these councillors have shown disrespect towards our community!! WHAT A SHAME!!
While I sometimes enjoy the articles posted here, I’ve also noticed the “facts” are then sprinkled and followed up with some commentary. Unfortunately I now have to read all articles with the expectation of them being opinion in tone.
Nothin wrong with the writing..but to label this as “objective journalism” is only valid if the consumer/reader couldn’t decipher how the writer “feels” about the subject/subjects they’re writing about.
Do you know for a fact that Rivard was discussing his political aspirations with the member of the Green Party? If not, that’s commentary.
There is a tone of judgement in the section alluding to the two councillors and their drinking.
There isn’t a counter argument as to the uselessness of said conference. Actually, your articles seldom offer the other side of any issue being written about.
Once again, the reader knows how the writer FEELS about the subjects of the articles.
Perhaps, go back and reread what you’ve written over the past year…I find it impossible to separate the writer from the writing.
Once again, highly entertaining, I keep coming back. Isn’t that your objective?
What a waste of money.As if they can justify this event.They have no shame at all even posting pictures of themselves partying at our expense 😡

Highly entertaining…
