Of course it isn't funny for those being governed by self-serving, woefully and intentionally ignorant twats. We pay salaries to them via our taxes hence we expect at least a modicum of common sense if not outright intelligence. Instead we mostly get defensive, circle the wagons crap whenever we have a question or a criticism. Rarely do our municipal councillors actually debate seriously with individual citizens.
Besides the defensiveness displayed by municipalities as well as higher tiers of government there is also sometimes the opposite. That is the uncontrolled, semi imbecilic puffery that goes on. Hoo boy did I have fun a number of years ago dragging Woolwich Township through their own self-induced stupidity ranging from gross violations of the Ontario Municipal Elections Act (MEA) to holding in camera meetings improperly to attempts to minimize mandated public communications on various matters. There were some wonderful media cartoons including cowboys (councillors) in a saloon shooting themselves in the foot to K-W Record Editorials asking "Whatever is in the water that Woolwich Councillors are drinking". Ahh good times folks.
Talking about puffery you have to give it to that a***ole Basher ...Adad from Syria. He was the poster boy for various countries in the Middle East as he apparently allowed access for Iranian military goods through his country to either Lebanon's Houti's or to Gaza's Hamas. Yes I am aware of the old saying that one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter. Regardless Basher's murderous and disgusting behaviour towards appropriate opposition in his own country was beyond the pale. He is a mass murderer and torturer and deserves life in one of his own prisons. Basher's Syria only survived the civil war against itself due to Russian support. Shame on Putin and Russia for that. Since the end of the civil war years ago Syria has solidified their position and reputation as a somewhat modern government with relations with much of the rest of the world.
Until the axe fell that is. Russia and Iran propped up Syria and Basher. Similarly successive Ontario provincial governments have failed to step in and clean up the mess here in Woolwich Township. Once Russia and Iran got too involved with the Ukraine, Israel, Hamas and the Houtis they dropped the ball with Syria and in the blink of an eye Basher was running for the hills with literally millions in hot pursuit. Could the next Ontario provincial government take a closer look at the local shenanigans going on here? What a humiliating experience for our local self-serving politicians that would be.
