PUBLIC MEETINGS VERSUS DOG & PONY SHOWS

 

Right now there are loud calls for a public meeting regarding the Wilmot land scandal. Yes that is the 770 acres that the Region are trying to assemble (surrepticiously?) on behalf of the province and likely on behalf of some corporate giant. There are also loud calls for a public meeting regarding the Waterloo Region District School Board who are even more deaf and stupid than the Region and or our municipal councillors..  That is in regard to the sudden dismissal of the Education Director (chanika) and his controversial ideas that have negatively affected the Board's focus on student achievement. Finally a public meeting has been advised down the road regarding the Township's (Woolwich) and the province's plans (MECP) surrounding the gross failure to restore the public drinking water aquifers in Elmira by 2028.

TRAC meetings are NOT public meetings. They are Dog & Pony shows run by Lanxess, the MECP with Woolwich Township pretending to be in charge. The public are not allowed to ask questions. The public are not allowed to make statements. Delegations to TRAC have a rigid schedule and again little to zero feedback is given with little to zero questions asked of the Delegate. It is a sham.

Real public meetings have multiple microphones placed around the room and citizens do not need to request to be a f...ing Delegate a week ahead of the meeting. That is typical, dishonest, bureaucratic bullcrap. Honest politicians, if they exist, know what public meetings as well as what real public consultation is. Step aside and let the people paying the freight have their say. Some of us, maybe more than you think, know what we are talking about.
