I know Jasbir isn't posting these ironically, but if he was it would be some quality satire. Real leaders avoid the media, bulldoze encampments, and don't care if constituents disapprove. Democracy 101 guys. Nothing to see here.

The CAO of the City of Peterborough shouting out the "dedicated group of enablers" at city hall after getting an award from the mayor is a little on the nose.

Unrelated in some ways to the proceedings, but there are two full empty rows of seating in chambers, both of which at one point served as media seating. We got moved back the week after I overheard the mayor threaten Coun. Bierk. Also, municipal enforcement staff are in chambers this evening.

A few key points in the integrity commissioner report where Leal tries to suggest my initial reporting on his threat was "out of context" while admitting he needed to call a fellow councillor to confirm what he said before suddenly recalling it with perfect clarity. The IC doesn't buy it.

Things are really filing up here at the Canoe Museum in support for Emma Harrison who continues to lead by more than 1,400 votes with 40 polls now reporting. The margin of her lead is now down to 53.4 per cent of the overall votes. Still no coffee though...

You either didn't read the article or don't think that a local non-profit organization promoting arts and culture in the community is "of public importance to society." The Examiner does, though. It's a positive news story and the volunteers and artists deserve recognition.
