Both hands in the candy dish. Once once more, executives caught in the act of lack of judgment, lack of consideration and lack of respect for Montrealers.
They travel, they stuff their face in restaurants, they buy screens, headphones, gifts without any embarrassment, with Montrealers’ credit cards.
Yesterday, we saw Dominique Ollivier come out publicly on several sets to defend his integrity and justify his spending choices. She seems shaken by the scandal that she refused to acknowledge just a few days ago. But was she shaken because she saw that she lacked judgment? No, she’s upset because she got caught.
She was trying to explain to us why international relations were so important to the consultancy office she chaired and how vital and necessary a 23-day trip on our backs to Mozambique was! It really goes a long way to consult and learn to consult.
The vast majority of Montrealers did not even know the existence of this obscure consultation body which escapes any verification, any accountability and clearly the basic rules of responsibility.
The explanations are so absurd that they become insulting. And to add insult to injury, the deafening silence of the current president of the office and that of Mayor Plante in the face of this orgy of spending is giving us the middle finger.
While it was announced yesterday that travel would now be suspended, the very friendly secretary general of the office, the one who shared platters of oysters with Ms. Ollivier in Paris on our backs, was in Brazil. Double middle finger.
Ms. Plante, are you not shocked? Aren’t you embarrassed? Are you not insulted as we are?
Stop hiding and face the music. Stop defending those who spend our money without explanation, without justification, with arrogance and contempt. Every day that passes without intervention makes you a silent accomplice in the eyes of Montrealers.
