And they expect Chu to do the 'right thing' now? Not gonna happen.
Council moves his office to the basement like Costanza? They can't force him to resign, just make it miserable for him?

Or make him work in 'Sub-Basement B' like Milton from Office Space.

Can council ostracize him somehow? Refuse to let him speak? Ignore him? Refuse to call a meeting to order unless he leaves? Maybe not all the time but for a day or two to show solidarity and make a point.

Didn't Toronto City Council do something like this in the crazy Rob Ford days?

More pursuant to my 'Office Space' allegory...they should just stop his paycheques.

I expect Pootmans to say something. I'm thinking Wong and McLean are going to ignore this or not say anything, although now that Kenney has said something those two might follow suit echoing what he said.

Maybe I'm just splitting hairs and digging into semantics but based on the Twitter post earlier in this thread from Wyness, Ward 2, she didn't really say that Chu should resign. She said that "Sean Chu has a decision to make on whether to resign or not." To me it seems like she is trying to be very diplomatic in condemning Chu's behavior without actually calling for his resignation.

What is Pootman waiting for? I am starting to question my vote already...

I think you might be just a little, yeah. The language in her post was pretty clear what her take on the matter was, especially where she says an investigation should occur into why the abuser (Chu) had more rights than the victim.

Well thats easy. He was a Police Officer.

Everyone knows that the Police cannot, nor have ever, done anything wrong.

If ever one feels that they were abused by the Police they are clearly mistaken and should apologize to that officer for having been so flippant as to their rights.

And then lead a parade in that officer's honour.

Wong said (basically) that this has nothing to do with him or his campaign, so he had no comment. I don’t know anything about him or his campaign, but I feel like that tells me everything is need to know?

Abdication of responsibility via silence?

Is it wrong that I'm more upset that the Police covered this up for a couple of decades while this guy collected Public cheques and his victim got tossed aside?
