Isn't it 7 people who have never been on council before?

 

True although 2 of them seem to be somewhat reasoned in their approaches.

Very likely because Canada is a Parliamentary Democracy, and a Constitutional Monarchy - with the King of England as the Head of State.

Sorry for the reality check ... but my note above is a great example of the "real things" that guide Canada ever forward!

Our constitution was utterly ignored. In it it explicitly states that the charter is the supreme law. Completely disregarded. So what does that make us?

Yes. I eagerly await the first crazy motion from a new councillor.

My money is on Susan Kim.

Agreed. Taking or not taking the pledge signals the direction each councilor intends to take. Tradition v. Woke.

Exactly. It’s virtue signalling. It’s not a meaningful thing at all.
if it was they would be talking about how we as a whole can finally become a sovereign nation.

Have you guys listened to Charles’s talks from Davos and the globalist clubs? He is the King of the woke agendas.

I know full well what we are. Let me rephrase that then. Why do you think the King of England should be our head of state?

Why not?

Which you prefer the King of South Sudan?

His appointed representatives signature is on every order violating our rights over the last few years so I beg to differ. Crown land is managed by our government on his behalf not ours. So if it’s all symbolic it should be easy to replace “crown” with “people” right?

[dasmo]

No one.

You think things would improve if the Prime Minister were head of state?

[Mike K.]

That’s anarchy.

Human beings need a social order. I’d rather have a king at the top, then Biden.

And just like municipal politics I would prefer they all live here.

Our PM lives so far from here, that he may as well be living on Mars.

It's also very patriarchal that every law and statute in the province has dropped the preamble of Her Majesty the Queen and replaced it with His Majesty the King, and Queens Printers has been renamed King's Printer.

 

Side note: BC's recent move to eliminate all gendered language from legislation somehow didn't touch on the Queen and King's pronouns. Have we checked with King Charles about his preferred pronoun??

Ultimately the Mayor decides what goes on the agenda. 

 

She can appear to appease the centre by voting against motions knowing that they will pass anyways, but ultimately if an item is brought forward then you know she is behind it.

It’s not anarchy, it’s a republic.
