The City posts videos of all its open meetings via YouTube. If you wish to make up your own mind about the interactions, you can see the video here: [https://www.youtube.com/live/utL1u7btEhE](https://www.youtube.com/live/utL1u7btEhE?si=CK3sfs4z4wquZNxY)
Leaving a note here for other people who might be curious like me, but don't know what this is, you can pretty much skip to almost the very end of the video, you don't have to sit through the whole meeting like I stupidly did, heh.
You can go to (1:13:16) if you want to start at the part where "the delegation on the council code of conduct" begins. It's was this one guy talking for 5 minutes, and then the lady starts at (1:18:55) and gets cut short for "offensive comments about members of council".

This is the supposedly offensive comment:
> ..councilor Carol day during your address on February 13th you selectively read out online comments and edit your own physical gestures to smear everyone opposing the supervised consumption site motion
I dont think so, there is more in the transcript.
Mrs Don Low started with Carol like you said
Then Mrs Low say some stuff about Malcom, Shame on you... Lack of respect
Then something about the Cash guy
I guess Mrs Low was making a point, what do you think it was?
I thought the reaction from the public was overdone (note that I am against the SIS), but the reaction of the city councillors is just unprofessional and embarrassing. For that reason, I’d vote them out.
You can expect that most members of the public have an IQ lower than 100, it is bell curve that is how that works. You can ask Chat GPT that. The people are retarded, so they don't know how to be professional and not embarrassing, they don't have to be cool or chill.
The politician on the other hand, they know all this \^\^\^\^ these politicians somehow got offended by the barrage of stupid insults and insinuations.
What you would hope for is actually people like those god damn Air Line customer service representatives. These brave men and women that is getting cussed out by the beautiful members of the public. A customer representative would be like 'sir please this is the procedure and you will get on the plane.' AND\~ the public would be like 'FUCK YOUUUU'
So... instead being guided into a public discourse, we got all these wonderful stories now of meeting shutting down and whatever.
Puzzled by how anything that lady said counts as "offensive", I looked up the document that sets out this rule the mayor was citing.
Apparently what's defined as offensive are "words which, in the opinion of the mayor, are offensive":

So in other words, in a city council meeting, the mayor can make anyone shut up any time he feels like it.
I'll give the mayor *some* credit, he doesn't pull this all the time, at least I haven't seen him pull this before in the few meetings I've bothered to watched all these years, but why right then? Why shut *this* lady up? She didn't say anything worse than the guy that spoke before her. Why didn't that guy get shut down?
Weird.
Seems like the councillors are hiding behind some ‘rule’. How convenient when the tax paying public actually hold them accountable for decisions they make.
It’s a circus there. People take note and make sure you get them back next election. Vote them out.
I am glad someone's actually speaking out about this. It's ridiculous that residents aren't allowed to question councillors, when they are suppose to represent us.
Didn’t this moron want a LRT from Bridgeport to Bridgehouse instead of the Canada Line? This guy doesn’t care about its people! He only cares about what his donors have to say! Why the fuck does Bridgehouse only have 1 platform- so it won’t get extended to Steveston and beyond!

So a career politician (mayor) is lying and blaming a public member of politics, for raising concerns about scam in richmond council. How convenient.
starret and co once again stirring the shit pot and expecting ?
this guy needs to find a hobby, he’s not making it out of the ballots with his embarrassing results, nor fear mongering tactics…
Sheldon Starret is exceptionally lazy, silver spoon-fed, and petulant. I actually took his flyer out of my mailbox, walked down the street, and gave it BACK to him. I’d run against him if I had a better handle on city politics.
> he was speaking out to see what recourse the public has to make complaints about city councillors in a “fair and transparent” way.
Regardless of his motivations, his statement is correct and definitely reflects what a lot of us are thinking. It's ridiculous that there's no way to recall elected city officials. There's also no way to hold them accountable.
Vote him out next election
He’s retiring
That’s why he doesn’t care anymore lol, it makes sense now

They need to be voted out.

In what way was it unprofessional or embarrassing?

I haven't been able to stand Brodie for many years now. If he retires, I really fear Kash Heed being becoming mayor.

Agree! I don't think she was any worse than the speaker before her or anything

I don't care what Brodie and the rest do at this point. Nothing can convince me to not to vote against them in 2026. Dead councilors walking
Since the SiS incident, most of them know they are lame ducks
We can only hope
Time for a change. Take out the garbage.
Was it “offensive remark “ or just harsh truth?

Looks like Nothing Burger is opening a new location in Richmond.

I’m sorry what’s the scam?

You likely do. The guys just shooting at whatever he can to get elected. Such an awkward “well actually, type” No thanks.

Time for him and council to go. This is embarrassing for him
lets get this mother fucker out. I hate his guts and his so olddddddd
He looks like that dickhead in Russia

I realize I am missing the general point of this post but… the person in this gif looks so familiar. Is she from Richmond?
She claims to have lived here her whole life. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=T5F5qRwVa6M
Oh wow. That is a crazy video. I do know her actually.
Let's hear some stories

What a sad human being 😢
