That result came after the decision that led to the plebiscite so could not be factored into the decision. Unless you think they had a crystal ball telling them the outcome ahead of time.

A plebiscite is, by definition, the means by which a governing body lets the people decide. You can easily argue that an outcome should be valid only if there is, say, 2/3 majority, but that's not the system we have.

Also, I'm not a huge fan of being called a twat when I was being civil, respectful, and thoughtful. I'm too old to put up with much shit, so... blocked.

I could care less if you block me, they chose the plebiscite instead of dealing with it in council because they thought the town was better than this, but like it's Alberta....
