I haven’t watched all of it, but the segment I linked to is comedy gold.

Yep, it’s a clown show. Always has been. These people are about as mediocre as you can get out of any random population. The women on council? Mostly poster chicks for why women don’t belong in politics. They’re all random feelz, lack of logic, screeching tantrums and marxist daddy government gibsmedats.
A clown show and a shit show. Do any of these people have any self-awareness? Good grief!
The Menopausal Mind!

I’d rather have burning bamboo splinters inserted under my fingernails than watch this gaggle of Karen Pecksniffs and Debbie Downers emit their dry, scratchy menopausal queefs (their verbal equivalents, I’m referring to of course). And these people are all receiving over 100 grand a year? Jeezuz Fack!
Imagine that the case in most large cities in Canada.
At least none of them took their pants off and “spanked the monkey” .There’s that.
They have watched every episode of Parks And Recreation though!
I’m sorry … but shouldn’t “two-a-day-lady” be busy growing medical marijuana in her backyard greenhouse? Shouldn’t she be enjoying the golden years of her tangential upbringing in the 60’s hippie culture? She sure sounds as if she hit a spliff before this meeting.
PS … after serving for 25 years on a local Board … hearing this droaning exchange is like fingernails on a chalkboard … so glad I’m DONE with subjecting myself to this. Esp. encountering the angry, outraged neighbor who accuses every home builder of being only interested in ewwwww … PROFITS … not people and neighborhoods.
They describe the problem and they want it solved. Then they describe the problem and want it solved. Followed by describing the problem, and that they want it solved.
Haha, so true!
Wait, whaaat, I imagine this as City of Saskatoon Council meeting.
Ditto.
Charlie Clark sitting in the corner rocking and mumbling “Bike lanes, bike lanes, bike lanes…”
It could have been Edmonton’s, too.
Laughed at your comment. Soooo like most of the public sector meetings I’ve had the displeasure of having to be at.
That’s like, half the work right there! Now they just need someone who’s gonna actually do the lifting.
Takes away my will to live just watching it! I’m surprised the former Chief didn’t resign sooner.
I’m surprised he didn’t put one in the chamber and end it right then and there!
Deckchairs meet the Titanic, oh perhaps you need to be reorganized. What a bunch of idiots
Gimme gimme…what we all want to hear…shut up ladiez, we’re sick of your shit.
That acting chief Dudley Putzy Face should have told her to bend over and stuff it where the sun don’t shine. “I don’t take orders from you or anyone bitch, I give them”
Acting chief Dudley Putzy Face should have told her “We are maintaining the peace and doing our best to ensure the safety of everyone involved. The sooner you folks can convince Kim Jong Trudo to either lift the mandates or resign, the quicker this peaceful protest will get resolved and you folks can go back to finding new ways to govern everyone harder.”
That is exactly how it should have gone.
He should have told them to get off their asses and get on the horn (horn, get it?) and call Trudeau and tell him to ditch the idiotic and unscientific mandates.
Problem solved.
It never occurs to them to talk to the protesters or to consider in any way the reason that they are there.
That blind stupidity and unwillingness to listen is why there is a protest.
They are thick morons, addicted to bureaucratic process.
You mean, they assume deplorables are telepathic?
Definitely Hanlon’s razor.
Here in halifax, i listened to one hour one time of the city council, it was item after item of things proposed to be banned. You can’t make this shit up. “I…….Must…..Control” These wankers can’t even manage their own miserable lives.
Jeez Kate, don’t watch all of it! I watched five minutes and lost five points off my IQ.
Another twenty-five minutes and I might seriously consider running for my local Council.
Another forty minutes and I could probably get elected to Ottawa City Council. Even though I live in BC.
The banality of evil.
Very appropriate. That’s what we are dealing with.
F me you got that right! For shits and gigs I randomly pulled it back about halfway, the land “acknowledgement” that that weird Diane Dean broad did was so self flagellating. How many diverse Indian groups are really left??
You made it through FIVE minutes?! You’re a better man than me…
Could someone please take that ditzy Bev back to the pound.
I’ll just say this. Carol Ann Meehan (top, third from the left) was the Ottawa CTV news anchor for two decades (IIRC) until she was downsized and went into municipal politics. I used to watch her do the six o’clock news when I was younger and more naive. Compared to what she looked like in her CTV days, she now looks like something that escaped from the deepest corner of hell. That is one messed up, unhappy, miserable, useless human being with a very tenuous grasp on reality.
Again, the menopausal mind, obviously fortified by some crazy cocktail of benzodiazepines and SSRIs. Coco B-a-n-a-n-a-s!
Oh my god, it sounds just like downtown Victoria BC…
Aren’t they essentially out of the picture? I read RCMP and OPP will be in charge of removing the illegally parked trucks. That’s why we needed a declaration of the War Measures Act. They are breaking by-laws and if you support them you’re breaking the law too.

Last night I felt broken. After 10 mins of that I feel that all is not lost, except every city council meeting ever held. I almost felt sorry for these poor people having to sit down though that, almost!
The the freedom convoy has nothing to worry about with this clown show.
God speed truckers!
Lemme guess, half of them were school teachers?
Or went to the Christina Blazing-Crotch Ford School Of Little Girl Talk.
And if you don’t have 45 committees and 96 meetings, how will it ever get done?
“Lemme guess, half of them were school teachers?”
Before I scrolled down to your comment, (after watching the vid for 45 seconds, which felt like eternity), that it sounded like a daycare teachers meeting.
That, or a committee debriefing of a woke date that ended poorly with no scheduling or requests for a second date despite having all the permissions and paperwork filled out in triplicate and ensuring that all acts were properly witnessed and scrutinized for proper use of pronouns and non-threatening terms for biological functions.
They just can’t understand where it all went wrong.
And they never will.
Bringing “hot tubs and bouncy castles” to the protest contradicts the racist, violent occupation narrative, and these people absolutely hate it.
Fairly representative of the intellect you’d find in council chambers in all our major cities.
Here is an idea. Get someone from the Prime Minister’s, the Premier’s and the Mayors offices to sit down and talk to the protesters. Open a dialogue. Keep it open.
Heh…first they’d have to talk to each other. But then it’d be quitting time.
I see very clearly why the world is in the state it is. How can so many people like this exist?
If I had to have a root canal every day to avoid being a part of something like that, my dentist would be very wealthy.
Were Statler and Waldorf there?
I cringe at the thought that this is just a snapshot of our entire civil service. God help us if a real national emergency occurs. For example: What if a massive earthquake were to hit Vancouver, one that knocks out the airport and land routes in….. Actually, wouldn’t even have to be that big. Hell, our military has no capability of bringing in aid, it can hardly run tiny war games. And then, useless mandarins like these getting in the way. *June 1st earthquake hits Vancouver* *September 1st, relief finally arrives only to find that Japanese and American forces have already tidied up the mess.
Hey, but they did manage to remove the bouncy castles.
“I cringe at the thought that this is just a snapshot of our entire civil service.” Oh yes! At all levels of government!
Couple of most obvious points:
1. By the look on his face, it is pretty clear Chief Bell is thinking to himself, “Why the hell am I talking to these idiots”
2. Every woman on this panel; with the exception of the female cop….must be named Karen. Every single one of them are the types who would tell you to wear a mask if they saw you walking outside without one.
3. Without a doubt, every single person on this panel is some liberal hack; who has never earned a single penny that wasn’t provided by the taxpayers.
4. Each and every one of them think they are better, smarter, and more worthy than the people they are complaining about.
So predictable.
What a useless collection of fucking mindless nitwits damn!. They always gravitate to government work.
Have any of these characters asked the police what they did to bring calm to the 16 years Caledonia protest?
It seems calm to me. At least I don’t hear their horns from where I sit.
Good lord! No wonder Sloly resigned!?!?
Why is it that none of the leftist hacks that are in charge are able to ask themselves “and then what?”
I imagine they fully endorsed that CNN contributor/Harvard prof’s idea of slashing the trucker’s tires, draining their fuel and dragging them out of their trucks and then expect the hundreds of trucks to just magically disappear into thin air….
Ya, actually, I kinda have sympathy for Sloly now!
So what are the odds of seeing Diane Deans skakin it in the hot tub, or perhaps rockin it with a protester in a bouncey castle. You could just feel the anger in her words. It gives me great pleasure to see them cry, pompous laurentian A holes, paybacks a bitch!
Ottawa Police Chief Sloly resigned today. Be curious to find out the real reason.
I am going to take a guess-at the last meeting he explained in some detail why the Ottawa police service had NO jurisdiction over Confederation Park. Today we have Deans et al asking why Ottawa PS has not moved demonstrators from (you guessed it) Confederation Park. These morons are so busy wasting time pretending they are on Indian land and a hundred and one other perceived ills that they have no time to absorb facts.
Listening to Diane Deans bloviate would make any rational human being consider hoisting the black flag and slitting throats. That dumb stunt is too stupid for words.
That is everyone in government. All making six figures with 6 weeks paid vacation, stress leave, hybrid work schedule, gold plated pensions and on and on.
This is a perfect example of why we (us, normal people) absolutely need to get involved in politics at every level. Small-p politics and large-p politics. We need to dominate the parents’s councils, community associations, union locals, professional associations, condo boards, school boards — everything. We need to be the majority at the Riding Association level, and we need to be active between elections. The leftists have been doing this for decades — they are generally single, childless, and have the time to dedicate to it. We’ve been too busy living normal lives and raising kids, while they’ve been active doing their “Gramscian march through the institutions”, for decades. This has to flip, now.
That reminds me of the department meetings I attended while I was at Armpit College. Nobody wanted to go, but nobody wanted to get things over and done with, either. Instead, much of the time was spent in idle unrelated chit-chat. As a result, those sessions took well over an hour and, often, not a lot was accomplished.
One year, the head put up a board on which we could write or print suggested topics for the next meeting. One time, because I was the one who added most of them, I got stuck chairing the next meeting. I quickly got down to business, no chit-chat, no side discussions. Zip, zip, zip, we got through the items in about 45 minutes and got quite a bit done.
But that was the last time I had that duty. I guess I upset a few people that I curtailed the background rag-chewing. Then again, it wasn’t the first–or only–time I showed my colleagues how to go about doing things.
perfect example of the #laptopclass. these fuckwits have no clue what they are talking about. I saw a Zoom conference of Ahs while i was working at a ladies house in Airdrie Alberta. These asshats were sitting all day talking about policy, not a goddamn thing they said was logical or reality based. I would be willing to bet every single one was making over 6 figures.
Dont forget, they get paid $105,000 a year to do this.
On top of their other swivel service pensions
So many people go from one government funded position to the next, jockeying from local to provincial to school boards to health advisory boards to city councils…..meanwhile they’re bagging taxpayers cash their entire life and it’s APT.
(All Pensionable Time)
Bouncy castles and hot tubs are poking fingers in the eyes of Parliament?
Man, anyone who gets that upset over hot tubs and bouncy castles needs to be in therapy or locked up, not in government. It doesn’t hurt you, it doesn’t hurt anyone. By taking it as a “thumb in [your] eye”, you’re proving the protestors’ point — your sense of self-importance has exploded beyond reality.
Own and run a god damn business some time!
Municipal hacks like this have a far greater impact on your life than the Feds do. All fkn day they sit around coming up with ways to make new rules for you. And every one I’ve ever met is as useless as these fkn pathetic losers.
A passage from Atlas Shrugged sums this one up :
Rearden stood motionless, not turning to the crowd, barely hearing the
applause. He stood looking at the judges. There was no triumph in his face,
no elation, only the still intensity of contemplating a vision with a bitter
wonder that was almost fear. He was seeing the enormity of the smallness of
the enemy who was destroying the world. He felt as if, after a journey of
years through a landscape of devastation, past the ruins of great factories,
the wrecks of powerful engines, the bodies of invincible men, he had come
upon the despoiler, expecting to find a giant— and had found a rat eager to
scurry for cover at the first sound of a human step. If this is what has
beaten us, he thought, the guilt is ours.
What exactly is the point of this meeting? To show the public that they want the protesters gone but have no clue how to make that happen?
FYI: Diane Deans has been like this since she was first elected to City Council in 1994. Gloucester-Southgate isn’t sending their best. (At least I hope she’s not their best!)
Carol Ann Meehan freaking out that some of the Ottawa PD might support the protesters is exactly what you’d expect from a former journo.
To be seen. To get paid. City Councillor salary is $105,000.
I suppose in their own minds they control the universe.
“This occupation “, “These people”……for Christ’s sake, if I heard that one more time I was gonna hurl my tablet across the room. I feel sorry for you guys up there. This is a city, your nation’s capital with protesters in public spaces. They are acting like the Bushwood membership at the pool on caddy appreciation day (Caddyshack). The classism is just dripping from every word spoken. They might as well be saying, “rid us of these heathens who are unworthy of sharing the same air as we”. Disgusting. Just sayin.
The police chief had to take the high jump. He was the only guy who knew what was going on. Said this couldn’t be resolved by the police weeks ago.
The other monkeys were not going to take any responsibility. The Bong, Ford or the mayor – all will have to be voted out. That left the chief. He had to go.
Now we have 3 different police forces involved. They all hate each other. Think a city cop is going to follow orders given by the OPP? Or how about an OPP taking orders from the rcmp? Not happening. Laughable.
They have all exceeded their levels of competence. Especially the chair. What a bunch of losers!
I spoke with my father’s accountant a few years ago and he told me how he had given up on politics.
He told me about how a former local MLA was elected and he thought that the riding had elected someone who would represent its views. A while later, that MLA had returned and my father’s accountant spoke with him one day.
The MLA was despondent and depressed. The process of government and his party’s mechanics had defeated him, as if his life had been sucked out.
That’s one reason why ordinary people don’t want to go into politics.
It was a pretty low threshold from the sound of it.
The longer the truckers stay the better the city will be for it. Those guys know how to get things done. I’m sure they’d run the city 5 times as efficiently as these morons, but just in the places they effectively control my perception is they’re doing a much better job of managing things.
They say that the reason that the French Republic slaughtered the inhabitants of Paris when they suppressed the Paris Commune was that everyone who had lived in Paris under the Commune knew from experience that the city was safer, cleaner, better fed, better run, and much healthier under the Commune than it had been under the Emperor, or than the new Republic could hope to run it. The only way they could run the city without having a majority of the population recognizing them as incompetent was to massacre half the population and replace them with newcomers from the provinces who didn’t know any better and wouldn’t listen to the surviving locals. I can’t vouch for this, I wasn’t there at the time, but that’s what they tell me.
I guess referring to a group as ” these people ” is back in vogue.
I suppose it’s a little better than being called deplorables.
Yep, it’s a clown show. Always has been. These people are about as mediocre as you can get out of any random population. The women on council? Mostly poster chicks for why women don’t belong in politics. They’re all random feelz, lack of logic, screeching tantrums and marxist daddy government gibsmedats.

The police chief had to take the high jump. He was the only guy who knew what was going on. Said this couldn’t be resolved by the police weeks ago.
The other monkeys were not going to take any responsibility. The Bong, Ford or the mayor – all will have to be voted out. That left the chief. He had to go.
Now we have 3 different police forces involved. They all hate each other. Think a city cop is going to follow orders given by the OPP? Or how about an OPP taking orders from the rcmp? Not happening. Laughable.
It’s a cluster fuck. Nobody has authority.
Like Dilbert on crack…

They have all exceeded their levels of competence. Especially the chair. What a bunch of losers!
I spoke with my father’s accountant a few years ago and he told me how he had given up on politics.
He told me about how a former local MLA was elected and he thought that the riding had elected someone who would represent its views. A while later, that MLA had returned and my father’s accountant spoke with him one day.
The MLA was despondent and depressed. The process of government and his party’s mechanics had defeated him, as if his life had been sucked out.
That’s one reason why ordinary people don’t want to go into politics.
It was a pretty low threshold from the sound of it.
The longer the truckers stay the better the city will be for it. Those guys know how to get things done. I’m sure they’d run the city 5 times as efficiently as these morons, but just in the places they effectively control my perception is they’re doing a much better job of managing things.
They say that the reason that the French Republic slaughtered the inhabitants of Paris when they suppressed the Paris Commune was that everyone who had lived in Paris under the Commune knew from experience that the city was safer, cleaner, better fed, better run, and much healthier under the Commune than it had been under the Emperor, or than the new Republic could hope to run it. The only way they could run the city without having a majority of the population recognizing them as incompetent was to massacre half the population and replace them with newcomers from the provinces who didn’t know any better and wouldn’t listen to the surviving locals. I can’t vouch for this, I wasn’t there at the time, but that’s what they tell me.
I guess referring to a group as ” these people ” is back in vogue.
I suppose it’s a little better than being called deplorables.
