The late Mary Campbell wrote tons of stuff on that mess in the CAPE BRETON SPECTATOR so much so that Clarke took her off the list of "invited" reporters for announcement occasions.Gotta keep our fingers crossed that our councillors do their job and realize they work for us and not the mayor and senior administrators.

What would you like to know? As Raymond mentioned, Mary Campbell uncovered most of it, and her information is still available below. If there's anything else you want to know, i've probably got it. Novaporte was mostly about the duplicity of Mayor Clark and the gullibility Councilors, who fell for a V obvious scam artist.... time and time again! For the Mayor, it was a 'Re-Election Campaign...twice! and for Council, the majority simply lacked critical thinking skills or business experience. Anybody with those and 10 minutes on Google would know that there are no containers coming to CBRM. Unfortunately there are Councilors and others who still believe in Barbusci and the Tooth Fairy, so please express your counter opinion to anybody who will listen. https://capebretonspectator.com/?s=novaporte

Raymond, they are not "complaining" about the Code of Conduct, but the lack of an appeal process, and you have to remember the history behind it. A year or so back Fire Chief Michael Seth walked out of a Council Mtg during legitimate questioning by Gord MacDonald. As i said at the time, if you pull that stunt with your Bd of Directors, you are effectively resigning. However, instead of censuring Seth, Mayor McDougall threw MacDonald under the bus, and he had no recourse. In the second incident, some minion at City Hall decided to change the name of Canada Day to Night of Lights in some flawed attempt to recognize Indigineous participation. Four Councilors objected vehemently, (as they should!), and once again, Seth played the Race Card, and accused them of such. In this incident, and again without managing it properly, the Mayor did not support her Councilors, and it dragged on, with the 4 being 'guilty until proven innocent'. An appeal process had to actually be created, (at a cost of $30k for lawyers), who subsequentlly deemed the accusations as frivoious. So, to challenge the lack of Appeal process is actually justified and i see in the article that other Municipalities noted the same. Btw, Seth moved to Ontario and we are better off without him!!
