Our City Council at Work

One of the top honchos decides to make a fake (well, anonymous) call to a local talk show to praise our departing (finally!) mayor.

Unbelievable the ethics of the people who surround him.
The speaker of Toronto council apologized today for calling potential mayoral candidate John Tory’s phone-in radio show last Friday to slag him as a “three-time loser,” refusing to identify herself and denying, when asked, that she works for city.
...
Some councillors found it laughable Ms. Bussin would try to remain anonymous.
“I’ve been tortured by that voice for 10 years, so I can recognize it,” said councillor Rob Ford (Etobicoke North), who is frequently reprimanded by Ms. Bussin in her role as council speaker. “I don’t like how people are sneaky.”
Councillor Denzil Minnan-Wong (Don Valley East), wrote a letter asking the integrity commissioner to investigate Ms. Bussin’s comportment.
“I believe that when city councillors make public statements, they should have the integrity to stand behind them,” Mr. Minnan-Wong said. “In my opinion, her conduct reflects badly on her, and more importantly on city councillors as a whole.”
