Ottawa Councillor Breaks Ranks, and Should be Fired

This is an email I sent to a few news outlets and other politicians with regards to councilor Clive Doucets breaking from ranks and calling th Mayor 'out of touch'...what a freaking twit.....honestly. Just another politician who is using a scandal that is affecting 10's of thousands of people to advance his political ambitions......Unreal.

Clive,

I cannot believe that you are calling your fellow council members 'out of touch'.....
Are you 'out of touch' with what has been going on in the City ? Are you aware of the reasons for this strike at the beginning of recession ? In the winter ? Did the ATU invitation the other day happen for you ? Did you go and talk to them ? Did you go to the dark side ? What's up ? It's mind boggling that you broke ranks with your fellow council member's....and the majority of the populace of the City of Ottawa. Your political aspirations have over-ridden your common senses me-thinks. What are the chances we'll see your name on the ballot for the next Mayoral race in Ottawa ? Pretty good I would say from this point of view. Sad, sad way of thinking. You my friend are out of touch with the people you represent if you think it is the City and not ATU 279 who is 'out of touch'. We are being held for ransom by 2,300 city employees who don't give a rats fart about us. Their reason for putting it to the public (not just the bus riders my friend...) for this long shows that they are completely out of touch and ignorant to the publics views and concerns. Unions nowadays are completely out of touch with reality and their time has come and gone. Can you impeach councilors ? Maybe fire them ? You were somehow voted in so I would guess impeachment. Your damaging rant is something that would have been expected from Alex.. I guess he panicked when he heard your rant and had to jump on the bandwagon.....Mayor Alex ? Mayor Clive ? Sends shivers down my spine. If you have any conscience and sense of moral obligation, you would have your resignation on Larry's desk by Friday. If you don't like him, then have your assistant drop it off.
