Watch while London politicians twist themselves into pretzels trying to justify a taxpayer-funded trip to see Rudy Guiliani.
First, they need to spend $10,000 to help defray the cost of the London conference.

Oh yeah…and what will people think if city councillors don’t go? How will they be seen? And, what if there is a future pandemic? Think about it!
If you’re a taxpayer in the London, ON area, you’ll have to move fast – the vote is today. Info here;
UPDATE from David Maclean: “Well, there is some good news. Due to “public pressure” council decided not to accept the tickets for fear of it being perceived as graft. They are, however, still contributing 10,000 for the conference. Well done, folks.”
Damn. And I have to live here in London…
Our mayor is a 3rd class asshat with no brains.
Look on the bright side Warwick maybe they just might learn something, or maybe you could warn him that a bunch of liberals are headed his way – info@giulianipartners.com 🙂
I do feel for you having to put up with London city councils lunacy. I consider myself lucky I only get to visit.
Aw, come on you guys $10,000 is a bargain, a pittance, chump change. The mayor of Richmond BC and his loyal followers blew more than half a million and counting just so they could build a skating oval for the forthcoming Olympic games. I don’t think his worship even knows how to skate.
One thing I don’t miss about my hometown – the city council in London sure was/is out to lunch. And they still haven’t gotten rid of Board of Control, after talking about it for years.
London City councillors really loved it when municipal associations held their annual meeting in Banff a few years ago.
Wholesale evacuation of London’s City Hall to Banff.
When it’s held an hour and a half drive down 401 to Windsor only three or four bothered to attend.
And their streets! Geez!
The corduroy road is just a few potholes below the surface on Dundas Street from the Airport Road in the east.
A sorry governing lot indeed!
Give DiCicco credit as a first rate yapper though.
My Woodstock council appear as geniuses by comparison.
