What, again?
There are words to describe the reaction to the Parti Qubcois request
to Premier Philippe Couillard to resurrect the secular values charter from
the citizens who were just beginning
to recover from the insult to the intelligence of the charters last iteration
gobsmacked would be just one of
them.
Though its been jokingly referred to
through media social and otherwise
as the Charter Lite, it remains as offensive and incendiary as its original
meme, and watering it down makes it
no less repugnant.
A stunning political defeat was,
somehow, not enough to get the message across to the PQ that this is not
what Quebecers want and the fact that
it is even being brought up as a serious
topic for discussion is mind-boggling.
Theres another descriptive word.
In its revised pitch, the wearing of
overt religious symbols will be verboten by any newly hired government
employee, while existing employees
will have their freedom of expression
grandfathered, thereby creating a twotiered divisive workplace.
It may be a nave assumption to
consider government is an accurate
reflection of its electorate but to be
told one has religious freedom anywhere within our society with the exception of government positions is a
blatant contradiction of democracy.
The Socit de Transport de Montral (STM) affirmed in a recent email dated January 19 that the City of St. Anne de Bellevue will maintain bus
service in its north sector in response to an unsubstantiated claim made by a resident during the December council meeting that the city did not
intend to keep the service.
service on Chemin Ste. Marie, Tremblay wrote. She does not remember
the exact exchange but assures me
that she never said the mayor doesnt
want public transit in the area. In fact,
it would have been surprising, considering we are actively working with the
city to develop scenarios to enhance
the bus and collective taxi service provided in the area.
Tremblay also apologized to the city

position entails.
I think its a necessary position
but there is some rationalization that
we need to do first before committing
more tax dollars, said Labelle. We
need to do our due diligence regarding the hiring process before making a
commitment.
Boudreault concurred with Labelles assessment. I voted against it
because I think that before adopting
this contract, we should optimize the
staff we already have. Im convinced
personally that there are a lot of people working at city hall who can do the
job the administrative assistant is doing. With the staff we have right now,
we dont need that position, said Boudreault.
But for Young and Boyer, the administrative assistant position is necessary
to ease the workload that both Hawa
and the citys Director General Martin Bonhomme have to deal with on a
daily basis so they can concentrate on
their primary responsibilities in order
to ensure the city runs efficiently.
The issue for me is that as much as
I want to streamline the administration at City Hall, I also want to be very
conscious of the fact that whenever we
all make a decision regarding keeping
or cutting a position, that in doing so,

Information sought
Vaudreuil-Soulanges East Sret du Qubec police are looking for a woman who allegedly stole a wallet while in a bulk food store located on Boulevard de la Gare in Vaudreuil-Dorion December 29 around 12:45 p.m. After taking the wallet, she reportedly
concealed it under her arm while paying for her purchases at the cash. Shes described
as white, aged either late 30s or early 40s, with long brown hair. Anyone who has information to identify this person is asked to contact the central criminal information at

Micro-community
The microwave oven in our office is centrally located so
that it becomes both a gathering spot for conversation and a
drop-off point for whatever is being offered to share amongst
coworkers. And while its usually food, weve had a number of
more unusual inedible offerings, most recently a box of unwanted costume jewellery from a shipment of manufacturer
samples from an advertiser. And one time a box of gluten-free
crackers that, incidentally, also do not qualify as food.
The microwave has been home to an assortment of paperback books for sale as a fundraiser for a coworkers daughter
who was heading off on the adventure of a lifetime with her
high school class, helping to build homes and a schoolhouse
in Peru, and has been the point of purchase for myriad packaged treats or tchotchkes for one school benefit or another.
But by far, the greatest amount of foot traffic to the spot has
been generated by chocolate. There is currently an assortment
of bars for sale (another fundraiser) including sea-salted and
caramel filled milk chocolate alongside a bag of cinnamon
pretzels dipped in white chocolate. Small bars of individually
wrapped dark 65 % cocoa bars have been known to show up
as peace offerings after internal interpersonal conflicts. Hey,
were all human.
A leftover chocolate cake migrated to the kitchen freezer
only to be slowly consumed by my youngest every time he
visited the office. Kids have negligible freezer-burn standards
when it comes to chocolate.
What journalism lacks in remuneration is balanced by
swag, including (some would say especially including) food.
Though I have difficulty consuming food that shows up from
unknown sources, particularly if Ive received nasty email in
the same week, it doesnt happen all that often. Only the kosher ramen and assorted biscuits, still wrapped in the cellophane and pretty red ribbon delivered anonymously, sits unconsumed in my office.
At a request to send someone to cover a press conference
for the Agence Metropolitaine de Transport (AMT) the attach was very earnest in asking if there were any dietary requirements to be considered before I interrupted. coute,
I assured him. Les journalistes mangent presque nimporte
quoi.
Im blessedly fortunate to work in an environment where
our microwave trading-post has literally exchanged everything from soup (homemade) to nuts (yeah, packaged) but,
more importantly, re-establishes our micro-community that,
for the most part, shares respect and friendship in the form of
emotional and physical sustenance along with learning a little
more about each others lives in the process.
The recent booty that arrived was a particularly remarkable
haul an overflowing bowl of Lindt multi-flavoured chocolates absconded from our sales coordinators daughter who
had procured them at retail minus 30 per cent thanks to
her new job.
Admittedly the complaints of unwanted calories and dental
bills contributed to the sharing decision but no matter, were
all consuming the windfall with our eyes wide open and happily, and willingly, accepting of the consequences.
In the words of the gifts bearer, If Im going down, Im not
going down alone.
News that Beaconsfield elected officials voted at the last council meeting December 16 to increase their remuneration by 40 per cent the first
increase implemented in the town in
almost eight years has been met with
mixed reaction by residents and invoked an ongoing email debate.
The base rate for the mayor is
$46,000 and for each councillor it will
be $15,333.33, said District 3 Councillor Wade Staddon of the taxable portions of councils salary. For the nontaxable portion, it would be $15,787
for the mayor and $7666.67 for each
councillor.
One of the points to be made is
looking at comparable cities in the
area, were still about the second lowest, said Staddon. Of 22 cities across
the province, the new proposal would
put us in about the middle.
Council cited examples of salaries
from other city councils with similar
population counts including Dorval,
Kirkland, and Westmount.
We should evaluate, every year,
how much the salaries should be adjusted, based on inflation, said Mayor
Georges Bourelle at the December
meeting, rather than wait for five or
Public transit
Continued from page 5
That entire situation was ridiculous, Hawa told Your Local Journal.
Ive been working on this file for the
past three years. I brought in the public
taxi service on weekends. Its not perfect by any stretch of the imagination,
but its more that has been done in the
past 12 years.
10 years.
One resident at the meeting asked
what parameters were used to compare the salaries of elected officials
of various cities. Theres a big divergence in (cities) industrial footprint
that we cant really compare, to which
Staddon countered no two cities are
exactly alike.
Right now, people are struggling,
as we all know, said a meeting attendee. You all got into this position
knowing exactly what your remuneration was.
District 4 Councillor Pierre Demers
acknowledged it was a sensitive topic
and did an informal comparison with
other cities of comparable size. Under the current format, it costs each
resident about $0.84 to have a councillor sit up here, he said. What were
proposing brings it up to $1.18. Were
right in the middle even after this significant adjustment. But the fact is,
its two raises over 18 years. Demers
said going forward, the salaries would
be adjusted on a yearly basis to make
them more reflective of reality. This
job is not the same one that it was 25
years ago.
The discussion continued into 2015
through an email exchange initiated
by resident Gilles Perron who further
its a well-known fact that public service has never paid well and suggested
the matter of raises for council be put
to a public vote.
Beaconsfield Citizen Association
(BCA) President Al Gardner said the
BCA would abstain from taking an official position on the topic other than
to echo then sentiment that any municipal remunerative increase should
be decided at the provincial level.
Council will vote on the resolution

The English
Indoor Gardener
PHOTO BY GREG JONES

efit immeasurably from a supplementary sprinkling with a treat of 20-2020 water-soluble fertilizer every two
weeks. Thats true of most of your indoor plants, by the way. But only every
two weeks and never more frequently
as you will be killing them with misplaced kindness!
CRYSTAL CLEAR - Speaking of
which, this is certainly not the case
with a Poinsettia - the profiled plant
in a column just before Christmas
owned by Hudsonite and YLJ reader,
Crystal Coupethwaite. Who emailed
me with a wonderful story about the
specimen she bought at Costco in November, 2013.
Explained Crystal, It was beautiful. I paid $19.99 which I thought was a
little expensive for my taste, but it was
big and beautiful. And I didnt want to
spend $4.99 at Walmart for one that
would be dead in a week.
As it turned out, this plant had a
hard time dying. A few green leaves
once in a while. Still, by spring, new
greenery showed up. I always kept it in
the house in the living room near light,
no sunshine, and kept watering the
poor thing, along with my Peace Lily
and Christmas Cactus.
Added Crystal - and Im fully in
agreement with her here - I hate to
throw out something that is still alive.
So summer came along, it was still
green, and so I thought okay outside
you go, because two plants in the
house were enough.
And so it sat alone on the deck,
sometimes with lots of sun and, if
lucky, watered by rain or from the hose
