Ridiculous comments and claims made by City Councillors

[AlvinofDiaspar]

We have a low bar.

I mean. Campbell could be a Mammolitti, or a Di Ciano, or a Ford, or a Denzil Minnan-Wong, or a Glen deBaeremaeker, or a Ana Bailao, or a Karygiannis, or a Pasternak, or a Norm Kelly. Jeeze, we are really scrapping the bottom...

Fair, but let's not aim *that* low.

If we assume Mammo voters like what he says, then the alternative might be a Mammo clone with the same lunatic ideas who actually shows up at Council and votes more than half the time. Which would be worse than the elusive Mammo we’ve got.

My word, you're right. Sometimes I forget that I've given up on vast swathes of humanity. Thanks for the reminder, friend.

Like I said, he seems like a mixed-bag.

Like....psychologically?

 

[SunriseChampion]

I think it's commendable that he may have realised he was spewing rubbish. He could have easily ignored or argued against the feedback as I'm sure some of his peers past and present would have done.

That being said, that original tweet reminded me of Douglas Ford's claim of the King St Pilot being a "business exclusion zone" in that opinion piece of last week: completely mentally burdened.

How to lose voters.

That kind of sums up Mammo’s entire career.

 

[SunriseChampion]

My word, how'd he know what I thought of him? Fu***ng wank.

And the sad part is, Mammolitti will still get re-elected. This pretty much illustrates how sad Toronto politics is, and how delusional some voters can be.

Ho ho ho, I hope Mammo sleeps well:

Well then. Best of luck, Mammo.

Well then. Best of luck, Mammo.

I don't know how Mammo does it, he always manages to slip away from these scandals. Hopefully his luck has run out.

 

[SunriseChampion]

Somehow? He's greasy as all hell!

I really think the punishments for councilors who break rules are not severe enough at all.

I really think the punishments for councilors who break rules are not severe enough at all.

There are the 'rules' that Council has for its members (enforced by various City officers like the Integrity Commissioner) and then there are actual Laws (enforced by TPS and OPP etc). He is now facing a real legal problem. Fingers crossed, and all that!

According to this link, 2014 Toronto municipal election results:

Giorgio Mammoliti: 6,816 votes or 46.0%

Which means they voted on name recognition.
