Like a certain Liberal leader they are impervious to anything but thier own self importance. Small fish in a small pond imagining themselves to be much more important and effective than they really are.
These government employees work for us not themselves! Thank you to the 3 who tried to reason with the rest. It seems as corrupt in municipal as it is in federal! So frustrating!
I am the government representative on the Au Chateau Board where Gagne is Chair and Restoule is a member. I can tell you that bullying is the way they roll.
The mayor should be recalled and the school yard bullies dismissed from council. I have sent this article to Premier Ford so that he can see first hand the level of insanity that has been allowed to fester in West Nipisssing. Meanwhile we need a petition to recall the Mayor.
This is nothing but bullying. As this is the modus operandi for Gagne, and Resstoule they should be removed from council and the mayor should be recalled. But if the people of West Nipissing are willing to put up with an absolute disregard for democracy then things will only get worse. We need a very large and loud protest aganist this. Meanwhile everyone should complain to the Ministry of Municipalities and Housing...................................................................................https://www.ombudsman.on.ca/what-we-do/topics/municipalities-en
This decision clearly shows a lack of concern for public opinion and a disregard for democratic principles. It is disappointing to see elected officials ignore the voices of their constituents and rush through a controversial bylaw without proper consultation. The actions of Deputy Mayor Restoule and Councillor Gagne, in particular, show a lack of respect for the community they were elected to represent.
It is concerning that Councillor Rivard chose to abstain from the vote on the basis of a vague conflict of interest, especially when his rationale for doing so seems questionable. This decision raises questions about his commitment to serving the community and his willingness to take a stand on important issues.
Overall, this situation highlights the importance of public engagement and transparency in decision-making processes. It is essential for elected officials to listen to and consider the views of the community when making decisions that will impact their lives. Ignoring the public's concerns and rushing through controversial bylaws only serves to erode trust.
Here we go again, council could have gave an extension, it was not much to ask. I am not an AirBNB owner but l do not believe in a dictatorship. I am disappointed in my councillor ( deputy major) for not asking for more time now that the public is fully aware. Yes we need a bylaw but more input from the people of our area is required. Shame on the members who did not vote on an extension.
And people think it's not being transitioned into dictatorship. If you are still funding and following it and giving the power over you, FIX YOU. If you do not have the confidence in the capabilities of your public servants then you have right to dismiss them. Redundant the most of them anyways for you are the better leader.
i am ashamed of some of our counsel for the complete disregard of our citizens concerns and sneaking in such a bylaw. shame on those responsible.
Strange, these councilors seem to think they are immune to public opinion. Either that or they are not planning to run again.

I feel sorry for you. Thank you for trying to speak up. This is getting so out of hand. You are right.. we need to protest this bullying behaviour!!!

Iam shocked at the absolute total disregard for the constituents wants!
it comes across as passive aggressive bullying…….
Kudos to those councillors who chose to abstain from voting……..
The MAYOR and the rest of the counsellors need to watch the video and see how they came across to ALL OF US!!! We are VERY disappointed in you.

How do I apply for the license as a current short term rental owner?
The actual application process details have not been published yet. I assume something will be on the municipal website shortly.
Thank you. Could you please let me know what municipal website to look at?
