That’s what Watson does best ,and don’t forget his back door deals,cause when he don’t get his way he comes at u like a idiot and starts name calling behind co- works back cause he’s a coward and won’t tell them to there face Thk god this coward is leaving and never seen again.

May the meek inherit the occupation!

He is only saying that as he isn't running for mayor. If anyone thinks different. You need a serious wake up call

says the former Liberal Cabinet Minister.

Complaining again Mr. Mayor. You have completed your term . Enjoy

It's not undemocratic. It's antidemocratic. Like Jim Watson, when in normal mode.

If he was running again he would be singing a different tune!

But inside he's saying 'why now, why not my last few terms?'.

Pretty rich coming from this crooked Liberal. JimWatsonOttawa

Would he still be saying this if he were running for mayor again in 2 months?

Liberals are all undemocratic.

Undemocratic? Considering the source (JimWatsonOttawa) that’s a bit rich. Back channel messages on the biggest P3 project ottcity has seen, muting mics to stifle debate, ensuring block voting etc, etc. ottnews

Imagine JimWatsonOttawa accusing anyone of being undemocratic ? 😂😂

Poor Jimmy can’t take the Twitter heat, he has his comments turned off on almost all of his tweets.

Isn't this clown gone yet? Leave town already. Did anyone ask him about the transit dumpster fire or no point since he's as useless as ....you know what! ottnews
