Planner finds council speeches “insufferable”

Toronto’s new high-profile City Planner has tweeted out an opinion that the speeches of Councillors are “insufferable” now that jockeying for a run at the Mayor’s office is on. The tweet has embarrassed Jennifer Keesmaat because bureaucrats are not supposed to criticise council. Makes sense but she’s right. Much of the posturing at City Hall is downright nauseating. It seems likely Ms Keesmaat will survive the little boo-boo unscathed however.
