“So, is Mayor Nenshi alleging that city councillors are susceptible to bribes and corruption?”
Noooo, he’s clearly saying that they will take more bribes due to their inherent corruption.
Perhaps there income should only consist of bribes, that way they would be doing something beneficial for others rather than for themselves.
Councillors get 113K per year? I thought it was a part-time job.
Step by Step the Liberal Party of Canada and their Seven Clones have worked Their Way into the Bureaucracy In Edmonton.
But Y’all Say Alberta has been Progressive Conservative for over Forty Years until The obviously P.O’d Electorate Threw The former Progressive for being fat, overpaid Slugs.
Surprise The Slippery Slugs in Waiting in Edmonton for Decades were not Elected to replace the Progressive Conservatives because the Albrtans have always Understood The Liberal Party and It’s Proven Crony Central Canada Crowd have been and will always “stick -it to Western Canada.
Soooo ! the P.O.’d Albertan tried a Western Version of The Socialist N.D.P.–What did they Get? The rejected Toronto Liberals who were either Too Slippery or not truly sleazy enough as the Parachutees for Provincial Cabinet Posts. We all understand what happened with this end run by Premier Notley.
Now back to the Issue at Hand. D’yall think the Calgary/Edmonton Municpal Bureaucrat “Set-Up” is and has been to make their own Salaries & Benefits HIGHER than almost anywhere.
Do you Think? Paying The Calgary/Edmonton Municipal Politicos The Highest Salaries in Canada is a Mistake?–a Planned Event?–or Just in Thinking—- Corrupt?
Are the councilors all muslim too? Baksheesh is common in muslim shitholes. Is that what he is talking about?
Maybe Nenshi can find some cousins from the old country, and set up a foundation for himself like the Clintons, Trudeaus, and Wasserman Schultz…
Muslims will take over this country within 40 to 50 years without firing a shot. The way the liberals are bringing them in and that coupled with their breeding habits, it is only a matter of time before they are the majority in government.
The same news aggregator linked above has an article (caution, it’s the CBC) that states the median income in Calgary has fallen by 15% in the past year.
Has anyone working for gov’t taken a pay cut? How about a hiring freeze to stop the madness?
How can those part time counsellors be worth so much more than the citizenry they claim to represent?
and over the past decade, yearly municipal tax increases…
I don’t want “better gov’t”, I want less gov’t, and pay those gov’t employees, less money.
What the good Mayor neglects to mention, is that if they are corrupt they will take bribes and kickbacks if they are getting 5X the salary. Some people`s greed know`s no bounds…..
Very few politicians,especially at the low end of the trough,are NOT susceptible to bribery. 113 k is chump change in the real world,especially aggravating when you have champagne tastes and a marijuana work ethic. Bribe those Councilmen,they need the money.
And if anyone dares suggest we must pay well to attract “the best and brightest”,I shall hurl din-dins onto my crappy keyboard.
Now here in genteel Canader our pols rarely accept bags of filthy cash,rather,they wait for a promised appointment to the Board of a corporation they were “nice” to when in power.
One former high ranking Canadian politician was said to have been appointed to the Boards of 30 corporations,although his biographers disagreed,and said he was only on the Board of about a dozen.
Calgary’s Council should adopt a bumper sticker,”I’m a whore,but not a cheap whore”.
Sadly, can’t get through via either link. Please update. Oh, the mayor might want to remember the old adage that when you point a finger at another person, four fingers point back at you.
What is more important; the party, or individual freedom? Collectivism always leads to the same place; but stupid always seems to win in the end. Bureaucrats building empires. Whether it’s SGEU, the people at city hall, or the CPC, you are not going to like the ending.
It is curious though; why does Canada’s Libertarian party fundraise? Why do even the people who want the most freedom, still build the machinery of their own destruction?
find me a conservative that does not or has not governed like a liberal as I have said for many years conservatives are just liberal lite.
By extension what he’s really saying is that the only thing that prevents our baser, more corrupt side from raising its ugly head is getting the loot we think we are entitled to. Just another Liberal dipshite. Time to drain the swamp.
ME–for Three Terms at the Municipal level; Pushed and Shoved against the Provincial Government; supported the most Egregious Liberal on the Council when what He was Promoting Broke-Up the Rural “Old-Boy” Town Employees and benefactors.
Did not take offer from Progressive Conservative politicos to be Next Candidate. Just being another Suck-up on the Tax-Payer Teat not my style.
Did not run for Alderman after Third Term and did not have Time to try and become Mayor because of being a Small Business Type.
