With out that we would not have need to hear from anyone or waste anyones time!

Everything from trying to help consumers buy into property they can't afford by giving them the down payment to opposing international trade deals with other nations because Saskatoon's City Council was not invited to partake in the negotiations?<br /><br />Does Charlie Clark really think that the Federal Government should be calling him up for every national issue to gauge how much it will impact his abilities as a Saskatoon City Councillor?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319042645944598014.post-79990572254938305912012-02-07T14:14:25.349-06:002012-02-07T14:14:25.349-06:00Darren was backtracking so hard it was unbelievabl...Darren was backtracking so hard it was unbelievable and the admisssion he had not read his information before voting was interesting to say the least. Councillor Lowewen seemed amused about the whole thing and Pat just sat and said nothing, a real task for her. Coucillor Clark bumbled through some incoherant explanation obviously very uncomfortable with the position Iwanchuk had left him in. All speakers were prepared and presented their views well but let's face it folks nobody wants to take over transit water treatment in Saskatoon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
