 City councillor threatens veterans   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Councillor Howard Moscoe is planning to introduce a motion before council to revoke this tax break if the vets continue to allow smoking on the premises of their clubs.
The timing of Moscoe’s threat clearly shows what a poor excuse for a human being he actually is. His sarcastic quip that veterans cannot be allowed to smoke because they are elderly and dying anyway shows a degree of sensitivity usually only found in serial killers.
To Howard Moscoe, these veterans are nothing more than props--to be used so that the little councillor can show what a big man he is. In a council of anti-war leftists, who are on a never ending quest to control every aspect of peoples’ lives, Howard Moscoe stands out.

 Adam Giambrone : Toronto City Councillor : Ward 18 Davenport : Home
If a situation arises where it is inappropriate for an applicant to submit a Councillor’s letter of reference for a City position, a mechanism should be established within the bureaucracy to prevent the letter from being considered by the hiring committee.
Family members of Councillors obviously should not be hired into any reporting relationship, and Councillors should be required to recuse themselves from any situation in which they have influence over hiring applicants who are family members or close friends.
Certainly when the business of Councillors and family members employed by the City intersects, they should be required to openly acknowledge their relationship to one another.

 Ernie Clark - Independent District Councillor
I have served on the District Council since May 2003 and have been an Hilperton Parish Councillor for nine years, the last five as Chairman; it was due to my frustration with the District Council that I stood for election.
Being an Independent councillor does not mean that I do not have political views, simply that I do not believe that national concerns translate well to local issues.
It is my belief that no party has a monopoly of good ideas and that local government depends on people of goodwill, people who listen to advice, argue and debate, are capable of arriving at sensible decisions on their merits for the good of the community, and are not driven by an higher party allegiance.
