Nothing fishy going on here folks.

Donna Friedlander's daughter is up speaking now.  

[DavidL]

Prepare for the motion to pass with the "Well lots of speakers on both sides" rationalization.  Quality of argument or presence of facts be damned.

[sebberry]

Here we go, Jordan Reichert's turn!

[Mike K.]

Reichert: http://www.iheartrad...stunt-1.3535526

A Victoria group dedicated to ridding the city of horse-drawn carriages may have shown a lack of "horse sense" when it posted signs declaring the business license had expired and therefore was closed.

 

But the business is not closed, and is allowed to operate while it renews it's license.

 

Still, many took the signs to be genuine, and called Tally Ho later to express concern over the closure.

 

Victoria Horse Alliance spokesman Jordan Reichert admitted to CFAX he posted the signs, but was unapologetic when challenged about his motives:

 

Jordan Reichert: " No, Adam I'm not lying about anything."

 

Adam Stirling: "Jordan you posted a sign that said closed for business, and it wasn't your business, and you weren't the city. How can you explain that?"

 

Reichert: " I am not ... I never implied in any way that I am the city"

Reichert says whenever council takes a stand for animals, they are abused by business interests.

 

"I am a paid activist," Reichert says.

Final speaker coming up.

[Rob Randall]

950 Quadra  "Don't f*** up this neighbourhood, please"

[Mike K.]

"Don't f*ck up this neighbourhood."

 

Well done. I believe this is the first time I've heard someone swear while addressing council.

[Rob Randall]

I don't know why Potts thanked him after saying that.

[Tom Braybrook]

I don't know why Potts thanked him after saying that.

...does she not know how to use the gavel?...

[RFS]

Isitt just excused himself because his motion is getting hammered, and he's heavily prone to pouting when he feels disrespected or otherwise not listened too.

He is a guy who believes he has the inherent right to tell us all how to live our lives ... and when that doesn't work, he pouts.

What a pro.

Does anyone actually think Issit is capable of being convinced of anything or changing his mind? I doubt it

[Mike K.]

Isitt says "it appears that half the population of Central Saanich was here tonight."

[Tom Braybrook]

...if Ben controlled the airwaves everything we would all be better off!...

[Mike K.]

He also said that the airwaves, and explicitly CFAX, were effective at organizing the supporters.

[Mike K.]

Young just interrupted Isitt...

 

"Councillor Isitt is moving without notice a motion that appears to be quite different, offhand I don't know the implications, I don't know what boundaries of downtown Victoria he has, I'm not aware the exact details or multi-horse and single horse carriages operate. [If this motion was updated three days ago] we would have...

 

Suddenly we have a totally new motion and should be ruled out of order."

[Mike K.]

Mr. Coats is whispering into Potts' ear.

 

Potts is ruling this amendment in order. 

 

This is a spectacle.

[Rob Randall]

Young angry at Isiit's motion. Potts disagrees with Young.

[Mike K.]

Isitt's new motion is to remove horses from downtown Victoria by 2020.

[Rob Randall]

A motion allowing only one-horse carriages means the end of the 2-horse Tally-Ho group tours.
