A councillor from North Saanich, B.C., has resigned after referring to the mayor as “Mr. Hitler” during a council meeting.
Coun. Brett Smyth says in his letter of resignation that the decision to leave immediately was not an easy one but was made necessary – but not specifically – after an “offhanded comment” he made at a recent council meeting. At a March 20 meeting, Smyth took issue with a decision not to livestream advisory committee meetings about an official community plan or release committee members’ CVs.
Smyth said the move was done in a “very political way,” something that was denied by Mayor Peter Jones who said it was a “practical approach” before ending questions.In his letter released Monday, Smyth says he would have preferred a more positive environment but when all voices are not respected “it is difficult to practice the patience required of an elected official.”The district says details of a by-election to fill his seat will be made available soon.
