Quote.....

I recently came by a webpage by one of my favourite Politicians In The Plateau Mont Royal Borough. She had a very intersting quote on this webpage (starts with F) that I thought I should share with you.
Here is the quote:

"Never explain - your friends do not need it, and your enemies will not believe it anyway"

I found this very interesting. It shows just how much this politician is out of touch with her constituents and how little she cares about them and the district she represents.
It's a quote like this that reflects the poor state of the district she represents.

When you are an elected public figure, when your salary is being paid by the public, who's taxes fund your pointless position, you have an obligation to explain your actions!

You have an obligation to your constituents to EXPLAIN WHY YOU ARE INCOMPETENT!
Why the district you represent has fallen into disrepair, poor roads, unenforced bylaws (except the ones that generate cash ie-uncut weeds around city trees, parking meters).
Why several if not all promises made have been broken.
Why you insult your constituents when they ask why you are doing your job poorly!

When my tax money pays for your salary that feeds your kids (isn't that a good reason to run for public office?) you need to explain to me why it is being mismanaged...and explained clearly....and if the explanations are not satisfactory, you should resign!!!

That quote needs to be modified to

"I must always explain myself, because I am accountable to thousands, friends and enemies, whose money keep my family fed!"

But maybe the job will not be there in a little over a year.....It shouldn't really.
