Impressive food for thought and thanks for sharing this :
Bears out some of the frustration that I have heard from people that are doing the paying , not getting heard or getting the services they believe that they paid for -as gleaned from my grassroots march around the ward .
From my video adaption of Nancy Sinatra -These " Holle" boots are made for walking . Many are unhappy with the present council situation and want the following changed:
" You keep lying, when you oughta be truthin'
and you keep losin' when you oughta not bet.
You keep samin' when you oughta be changin'.
Now what's right is right, but you ain't been right yet."
and you keep losin' when you oughta not bet.
You keep samin' when you oughta be changin'.
Now what's right is right, but you ain't been right yet."
In context to the video - council has been a out of control disconnected Kill bulldozer ( with less finess or justification then heemeyer) of opportunity ,private developments by over regulating ,and micro managing anything that moves to generate staff driven fees and revenue --or that at least is what many people feel and believe. They are unhappy and want actionable change -not more promises of the same .
The new council challenge will be ,in my opinion, to reverse this perception/or fact with some much needed business intelligence and reopen the opportunity for private industry to compete successfully in the process of real growth .Let us ,(we-together ) " create a win-win situation in Brantford/Brant/6-Nations) where Bell could once again invent the telephone here" with no strings and self serving conditions attached.
Your help is needed with this challenge -many hands and minds make for timely solutions

Gentlemen/ Ladies,
I followed with interest the debates leading to the elections. One of you is going to be Mayor. I found that learning from others mistakes is a valuable practice. I would like to share with you a story that has a lesson to teach us all and you may benefit from it as a Mayor or as serving the community in different other ways. The story is about a reasonable man who was forced to be unreasonable by the City officials. You can find the story by searching: "Mervin Heemeyer" on www.youtube.com or by clicking this shortcut bellow:
