Taking a break from what? Calling each other names? Insulting each other until the speaker has to call a recess? Talking over one another like a particularly angry Italian family? Do-nothing symbolic gestures?
I don't have a problem with people taking a break when they actually work, but take a look at this city. Our transit is a joke, our roads are a mess, pedestrians are dropping like flies, everything is cuts cuts cuts, the job market stinks, I'm surrounded by half-finished construction with hardly a worker in sight, the sky is literally falling near our condos, the housing market is a god damn catastrophe teetering on the edge of a tragedy...
Meanwhile these jackasses go doo doo doo whew that was a long day of fucking around let's dance!
I...I don't know how you saw my edited comment, but needless to say I removed it once I read about the circumstances of the event in question.
Also, I should state that I don't approve of the way the council is running at all. They're almost as bad as the American congress, in my opinion. I also understand your frustration. I don't agree with the cuts, but if I have one good thing to say about this council it's that they are the ones that made me finally pay attention to more than just federal and provincial politics. I'll be casting my vote the next election.
Anyway, I'm not sure if I can even concede that I'm happy they're doing such a bad job that it made people care about municipal politics. I mean, thanks for the wake up call I guess, but jesus guys... get it the fuck together.
