immobility or disgust?

I had recently a very interesting discussion on the status quo with some friends. I was going to write a post on the subject, but here I am overtaken by the Old Henry who delivers a heartfelt text on the issue.

It would be interesting to analyze from a sociological point of view this current citizen opposition to any major project. Are we witnessing a redefinition of collective development, innovation and progress, where the contrary, the progress of a lack of vision endemic? The public confidence in elected officials, agencies and developers, she has so eroded that we prefer, as a precaution, always oppose any project? Are we so mired in the soft consensus that any initiative runs out in consultation, studies and discussions to finally die in the egg?

Are we, collectively, to develop a more critical or more cynical?

Beyond the very real syndrome "not in my backyard, maybe we in fact witnessing the emergence a more critical attitude towards the proposals of developers. This is at least a hypothesis to explore. Mismanagement, cost overruns, incompetence of stakeholders, "brown envelopes" and lack of transparency may have led citizens to adopt an attitude of mistrust sometimes excessive. The promises are no longer sufficient, the results should be at the rendezvous. What

opposed to just people? With the nature of a project, or methods of management and implementation? The issue arises because often, the project announced that it is not delivered. The economic crisis which currently prevails, particularly in the United States, demonstrates that some economic models lead to a costly failure and socially unacceptable. Several economic creeds must be reviewed and corrected.

In this context, we must speak of stagnation or disgust?

Great is the mystery of bad faith

Herr Ratzinger, aka Benedict XVI, he would become a vector for AIDS in Africa by sending beliefs rather than facts? The successor of St. Peter, who has a troubled relationship with condoms, argues that abstinence and faithfulness among partners are better condoms in the fight to stem the AIDS pandemic in Africa. He added by saying they could even make it worse. The black continent, already hard hit by poverty, plagues, conflict, atrocities and disasters of all kinds, "he really needs a visit to this messenger of myths and legends?

Yannik Villedieu wrote in his book : "For over a quarter century as the human immunodeficiency virus, HIV, started to wreak havoc, the only preventive measure that we have found is condoms. It was proved that the little gizmo latex protects against transmission of the virus. That condom promotion campaigns help slow the spread of the disease. And that condom distribution does not reduce the age at first intercourse or increase the number of partners. "

is a matter of fact, not belief. In trying to convince people of Africa to the contrary, Herr Ratzinger is likely to worsen the situation. His comments also reflect his lack of sexual mores of that continent, believing naively that Africans abstain and be faithful, just because the pope their order. There are only a few years, some Africans living in small villages believed to escape the disease by washing their genitals with acid battery. Education and condom use are a key to the fight against AIDS in Africa. This is not the case with wild imaginings of the holy fool.

spiritual leaders, gurus, Magister, pundits, and pastors 'wise men' of this world are more damaging than all diseases combined.

Academy Session

is the only title that fits with what I witnessed yesterday during the broadcast of the City Council meeting adélois. A flashback that recalls a short, yet strangely disturbing episode of adélois policy, that of Marlene Houle, the deputy mayor whose "style" did not pass and visibly acted as "election fodder" killed by a box public relations and other lawyers who both sniffed the jackpot.

Mayor Descoteaux in the footsteps of Acting it has fallen so fiercely denounced during a debate organized by the Chamber of Commerce of Sainte-Adèle. It frieze outright rudeness by pounding people with his "what is your question?" Which appears as a song while they are just trying to make a decent preamble to their questions. An annoying habit, for pressing, intimidate, voluntarily or not, and most importantly, an approach that aims to disconcert the citizen who tries to speak. And it works, because sometimes, tired, some of them prefer to leave and return to their seats without asking their question properly. Not all are equal before a microphone, the role of a municipal government is certainly not to push those who, perhaps clumsily, trying to contribute to participatory democracy. For their part, citizens are entitled to bombard elected officials turn to the question: what is your answer, what is your response? For answers, there is none. Or very little.

Another questionable method appears to be a marked tendency to the mayor Descoteaux is to invite the citizen who asks a question of public interest to call for the City to know response. We know that most of the time, citizens will not call. And if, perchance, there is risk, it will likely result in a mailbox. Or, he says, as was the case yesterday, which left him a message, then the citizen says he has no answering machine or voice mail and wonders who is has been addressed in this post. A more or less clever red herring.

Team Descoteaux, recently registered with the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), seems to be losing feathers and support and especially not account for the time that Councillor Nicole Durand. Thus, the counselor Mainville, who was yet part of the team Descoteaux in the last elections, will not be a member of the staff of the Mayor's election next fall, any more than Gabriel D. Latour, André Lamarche and Gary Quenneville. Advisers who had yet affirmed their allegiance to the new mayor in the aftermath of the elections of February 2008. A reliable source recently noted that there was significant dissent within the board adélois, and has been since the beginning. The little support expressed for the new team seems to confirm Descoteaux. It would not surprising to learn that many advisers will end their political careers

The last meeting of the council reflects the improvisation that reigns in this team fray. Unprepared, apparently overwhelmed by the records, clumsy in its actions with citizens and adopting a haughty attitude, the mayor Descoteaux will be accountable to the public next fall. The priority issues contained in its election platform did not move one iota. The case Lupien stagnates, taxes go up no one can explain it properly to the people Rolland and bogged down. The mayor imposed a condition that results in funding the Chamber of Commerce of Sainte-Adele will soon establish its own balance sheet, which until now, nothing stellar.

The most disturbing moment of the session was when Eric Veilleux, president of the company Maerix located in the business park Rolland, came to the microphone. Mr. Veilleux is pursued by the corporation the business since 2004 Rolland. He had to spend nearly $ 75 000 in legal fees. It is reasonable to believe that the City has paid a similar sum in this case. The issue, very simple, the contractor sent to elected officials is: "Do you know why you go after me?" After a heavy silence and an exchange of glances between elected officials, the answer finally fell from the lips of Councillor Latour, only board member who was stationed in 2004: "Rather than saying stupid things and say anything, the answer is no, I have no idea." This response

Advisor Latour has the merit of being honest, but does raise many questions about other issues to judicial control involving the City of Sainte-Adele: Case Lupien, the record the antenna Rogers, etc..

To many observers, the election of Mayor Descoteaux and his team did not change the management of Sainte-Adele. Some even claim that the records identified as priorities by the mayor stalled further. The haughty attitude of the mayor and his team is heavily criticized within the population adéloise and is the subject of most of the comments provided to me. At
