I seem to recall some news article linked to in this thread (from the G&M maybe?) stating that it is very difficult to get a stay of a ruling pending an appeal. I don't recall any explanation as to why, but it increases the odds of this being resolved before the next municipal elections.

Let's be clear. Rural is farmer's fields. Urban is city streets. Main Street in Brampton isn't rural in even the most generous use of the word.

It seems to me the pecuniary interest has simply to do with the fact that he voted on whether he had to pay back the money or not. Whether the initial breach of the code of conduct was actually a breach or not is immaterial to the case.
