To the bug eyed idiotic coucillor that did not like my comment about the next election to the extent you had to find any bullish excuse to have a go at me in the middle of a restaurant instead of dealing with the issue at hand. If you were actually listening to anyone else but your own voice I may not of had to repeat my name to you 4 times for you till screw it up when you called me back after researching things.telling me you will get back to me which at least you did that.
This is the 21st century and freedom of speech is still allowed. But maybe my comment hit on the truth and you couldn’t deal with it so you turned into a bug eyed idiot and freaked out making assumptions about me. A real person of your so called important standing (important to you)should of walked away.
As much as you think you are the be all and end all you’re sure as hell not so get off your high horse and do the job my hard earned taxpaying dollars pays you to do and stop being afraid of people with a voice especially when they speak the truth.. —freedom speaker

Was this ”idiotic coucillor” a patron in the restaurant? Did you approached the person on private time with a concern? Totally inappropriate. You are the idiot.
Now I have to figure out which one is the bud-eyed one…
I might offer that a COUNCILLOR freaking out on someone in a public place puts them in a bad spotlight; so let them freak out, then draw attention to their actions.
So what was your comment about the next election?
I’m as curious as MM, I’d love some details.
This bitch reeks of old Gummy Joe. A councillor is not your personal bitch, no matter how much you dislike him/her or what they stand for.
I’m not sure approaching a councilor at a restaurant is all that cool if they happen to be eating. Maybe discussion if you are both standing at the register waiting to pay, but even then it’s probably not ideal. The best way would be to email or call their office to have a realistic discussion
As much as we may like or dislike any individual politician, they are still just people doing jobs and they deserve to have normal hours of work like the rest of us. If you have a concern, contact them through normal channels – email, phone or visit during office hours. Just because they are public figures doesn’t mean you can confront them with your petty comments or gripes at any moment of the day or night and in any situation.
I’m pretty sure that a Councillor “freaking out” in the middle of a public restaurant would have hit the media. So I call BS.
Imagine dealing with bullshit like this? Give him a raise. Unless he is the one with the spooky Cyber-Tree. If it was him, he should never have a moment’s peace.
Unfortunately, when you seek public office to ‘serve the public’ you are on the job 24/7, as shitty as that is. I’m not excusing the behavior, and this setting certainly goes over the line of acceptable, but this is the kind of thing you can expect to happen. Councillors who only expect to be ‘on the job’ during office hours do not deserve our money or our vote.
This is probably a glaring indication of how disenfranchised people are when it comes to municipal government. We’re getting bent over left and right, council doesn’t follow its own policies, and outright ignores the wishes of those who take the time to come out en masse to voice their concerns over issues. And, they vote for shit out of spite.
Everyone deserves to be able to eat in peace, Cranky.
Ha ha whatever happened to Gummy Joe, Furious?
I’m biased, but the whole “You’re eating? Well good, let me ramble for 45 minutes about why Freak Lunchbox shouldn’t destroy the mural/free Brindi/more bikelanes” makes me think OP is the ass.
1st time typing coucellor – ok, maybe a typeo. Second time? an idiot. Can’t take someone seriously who can’t spell the main subject word of their complaint.
I don’t see 45 minutes here. I just see ‘comment’. Just because someone can’t spell doesn’t mean they are any less valid as a taxpaying citizen who is concerned about how their city is run.
I’m with everyone on the whole “being interrupted at dinner is bad” thing, but I don’t get that from the OB. More details, was the councillor spoken to directly? Did the councillor merely overhear a conversation an interject? Was it a passing comment at the cash? We shall never know.
Politics is a thankless job, for the most part. I wouldn’t want to do it.
So, is there no boundary? For example, if I were a politician and somebody approached me while standing at a urinal in a washroom I would be tempted to turn towards them and piss on their leg. “Oops, Sorry! You distracted me with your story about how angry it makes you when a plow goes by just after you spent 30 minutes shovelling the driveway. I forgot that I had my willy in my hand. So, anyway, would you prefer we not plow the streets?”
Why do people think inappropriate comments made out of a professional setting are restricted to only politicians and movie stars?
