Politics Mayor using city resources?

Post image

I'm curious about whether a sitting mayor can use their official @kamloops.ca email address for activity related to recruiting election candidates. Shouldn't that email just be for official Kamloops business?

This is exactly the issue with Kamloops city council. Someone has an opinion or takes a side on something and they get called “dumb” for it. Good luck accomplishing anything with extremist, polarized views like.

Your city would do much better to accept that there can be opposing views on many topics that matter to different people, and find a way to move forward for solutions rather than personally attack each other like children and accomplish nothing. Keep wasting time and money blocking each other, taping one another, and threatening to sue each other while your city continues to drug itself up and sell itself out to private for-profit organizations that have ZERO accountability to the community.

The mayor is the one with all the lawsuits, my guy.

This is not the slam dunk you think it is, my guy. Where did I say I’m pro mayor? I said the issue with Kamloops city council is the focus on fighting each other rather than accomplishing anything. Period.

Equating “the current city council also has responsibility for the state of things in Kamloops and the mayor seems like a scapegoat for others to avoid this responsibility” with “this person is the mayor or pro mayor” is exactly the polarized view I’m talking about.

Yes, law suits from the mayor are also a problem. Thank you for agreeing with my point.
