BURLINGTON, ON
If the photographs are legitimate, and in today’s world who knows what is real anymore, asking is a reasonable question
The park bench Mayor Meed Ward and Councillors Nisan and Galbraith are sitting on was a gift from Burlington to Apeldoorn.
So, we are going to assume the pictures were not photo-shopped—they were distributed on Instagram by the Mayor.
A number of weeks go we asked the city for the names of the people going to Appeldoorn to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Holland.
They sent is the following:
Members of the official Burlington delegation visiting Apeldoorn are:
- Mayor Marianne Meed Ward
- Rory Nisan, Ward 3 Councillor and Council Liaison on the Mundialization Committee
- Hassaan Basit, Chief Administrative Officer
- Samantha Yew, City Clerk/Director of Legislative Services
- Hasan Raza, Chair, Mundialization Committee (volunteer)
- Anne Koopman, Chair, Apeldoorn Sub-committee (volunteer)
So – why is ward 1 Councillor Kelvin Galbraith sitting on the park bench in Apeldoorn?
Sticking to our reason for being – holding the elected to both transparency and accountability – we will put that question to the city and let you know what they have to say.
Nice park bench. The rest meh!
The City Clerk???????????
The two goons got dressed up while bleeding the taxpayers dry Mr Climate change guru ,Rory Nisan flew 4000 miles for a photo op and mr Red tape reduction guru ,Kelvin Galbraith is a hypocrite
Why there should be so many representatives of this City on this junket is a mystery. Six people plus (possibly) a freeloader. Did they not hear about the Catholic School Board directors getting caught with hands in the cookie jar while “shopping in Italy” for statues?
