I don't know too much about your local politics, but it appears that what your councillor is doing is not too outrageous in itself, but is in its timing. Many politicians in Canada are accepting a salary freeze and a cap on expenses ... it is a fitting gesture given the tough economic times the world is facing. Seems like your councillor is kinda dense, or insensitive ... or maybe both. A time when your PM admits that the UK is officially in recession .... (he did this in an interview he had with the CBC; so he must have said something about it to the British public) ... is no time to stick one's snout a little deeper into the public trough.
