The Editor,
Re: “Port Moody council looks for a way to get rid of ‘political toxicity’” (Tri-City News, April 12)
Dear Mr. Mayor and Councillors of Port Moody:
Thank you for your time and effort as Port Moody councillors, but the toxicity level you have created and generated as our representatives is both shameful and appalling. You have clearly demonstrated a lack of leadership.
To hire a third party for counselling your self-inflicted injuries, at taxpayers' expense no less, is not only disgraceful but should be most embarrassing to you.
In its present operational form, the council cannot demonstrate respect, efficiency, goodwill, and collaboration in order to move forward with city business. Lack of respect for each other is a prime factor for limiting council's ability to proceed.
This council has been disabled. More to the point, this defunct council no longer has influence on community leadership in decision-making. You are suffering from ego inflated, irreconcilable differences. You have shifted from collective to individual performance, forgetting about who you represent, and you may as well be subject to the hand that holds the gavel.
I am no longer proud of or support Port Moody city council.
You are not indispensable.
The honourable and right thing for all of you to do is to resign immediately and place your case in the court of public opinion.
We have lost confidence in you. Resign. Enough.
Roberto Vairo, Port Moody
