CFN – It was a rare Monday council meeting in South Stormont and I couldn’t be in two places at the same time so SSN editor Reg Coffey covered the event.
He and the room were boggled when Deputy Mayor Tammy Hart unleashed a threatening verbal barrage against the South Stormont News which was captured on video.
Of course there are elections on and the feisty DM is facing strong competition from current councilor Cindy Woods and former councilor Ray Beauregard.
She recently finished a 4 week penalty from Integrity Commissioner Robert Swayze for her conduct including releasing a memo to the public stating that SSN was to receive loans and start up monies which of course were never on the table.
The South Stormont News only asked for the township to purchase ad space for its bulletin, which it being the only local paper in the township kind of makes sense.
Under new business at the end of the meeting she let loose.
I would like to say that I’m very disappointed with that Stormont News….the bias that’s in that news…and I would assuredly hear that it will be one of my objectives is to get rid of that newspaper.
She nodded her head fiercely after making her statement. Council and staff didn’t respond and moved on with the meeting. It was surreal watching this video after and hearing from some of the people in attendance.
The Deputy Mayor is also active in a Boycott South Stormont News facebook group as well has being a member of a known area hate group on facebook that has now gone underground.
The South Stormont News is a local media corporation based in Ingleside that started in 2013. Ms Hart seems to favor a Quebec owned media chain.
The drama started when CFN covered the Deputy Mayor’s first spanking from the integrity commissioner. From that point on she and her “team” have conspired to attack not only myself, but this very newspaper and of course the new South Stormont News which has included at least two sponsors being harassed.
Ms Hart also has filed a complaint to have a restraining order against myself; but oddly enough in the disclosure from Crown Jennifer Burke (who has since been removed from the file) Ms Hart does not claim to be fearful or afraid, but instead complained that she received emails such as the one I sent her suggesting that she resign after the false memo, and she also complained of me taking video of her at Township meetings.
A pending lawsuit against the Deputy Mayor for Defamation is also in motion, as well as the new complaint with the Integrity Commissioner and complaint about workplace harassment and code of conduct.
Tammy doesn’t play well with others, I presume.
Putting Tammy and friends and all of their politically retarded shenanigans aside — anyone visiting the little underground hate group’s site will find themselves embarrassed for them and their incoherent insults and ramblings.
The membership has one intellectual foot in the cave at all times… on the one hand, validating each other’s social irresponsibility, and on (or with) the other, stroking each other’s damaged personalities in one big self pitying circle jerk.
And it’s more than a little disconcerting that a former MPP and now Canadian Army Honorary Colonel would lend credibility (by his association) to this gaggle of miscreants.
Simon, I don’t agree with everyone on that Facebook page, in fact I don’t know any of them personally but one thing I will hand to them…I know each and every one of their names. They aren’t afraid to give their opinion with their name and I applaud that. Here, everyone’s hiding behind an alias and feeling like the big man with all the power anonymity brings. I give a lot less weight to an opinion from someone afraid to stand behind what they say. I know, people have said they are afraid of the repercussions for their job etc. Then keep your mouth shut. If you think what you have to say matters, have the testicular fortitude (as Jamie likes to say) to put your name to it.
Marc that’s not true. Joseph Roberto is a fake id for Bob Noble and there are many others in the hate groups.
Marc Houde….some of us have very valid reasons for using an alias. In my case my wife works for a local municipality. I will not jeopardize her career by posting under my real name. I explained to Jaime when I started commenting why I was using an alias.
@ Marc Houde. I live in an ultra hardcore conservative part of eastern Ontario. Anyone who would openly express my political views would have a hard time finding or keeping employment.
How can someone get to be Bob Noble’s age and still not have a life?
Sad, really.
@ Marc Houde (about anonymity): I don’t think one can compare an online news site – whether it’s the National Post, the Toronto Star or CFN – with a cyber-gang. In the case of the latter (and even though some of them post with pseudonyms like J. sais-pas (Becca?)) there’s a big difference. Here, we’re individuals. Jamie will tell you himself that I challenge his views, and he challenges mine. Jamie does not expect people to fall in line. No, the issue is that the X-files/Boycott SSN is a gang . They accept a hierarchy of follow-the-leader; have a logo and tagline; can wear gang-member colours if they wish (t-shirts are available); hold group events; etc. In other words, gang members feel emboldened by forgoing anonymity because they share one major goal in common. In this case: to force Jamie out of town. They say it all the time. And all their side-ventures (attacks) are against any person who stands up for Jamie. Debbie, Reg and Mary, in particular. I have never met either Debbie or Mary. But I know they would never expect me to share their views. Point being, anonymity isn’t necessarily a “bad thing.” Scientific studies have shown there are many upsides: creativity and community involvement, for example. And, that the “nasty effect” of online comments is not necessarily exacerbated by anonymity. People can Google the literature themselves. Bottom line: people act differently when they’re members of a gang. Just watch how members “wait” till their leader posts comments. You can observe them hanging back until he starts a thread. All quite fascinating, even if disgusting and often obscene i.e.) the noble-one’s “organisms” and recently the meat-handling video in Dockery’s garage. (Tif: You don’t/didn’t deserve that.) Course, we live in a town that feature “promotional girls” for a local hockey team. (I hope the women at get paid for being a bit of T&A.) Seaway News coverage on “heating up” the ice failed to ask that germane question.
Marc,
You might want to super-size your argument by uploading a passport-style photo of yourself as your “avatar”, and maybe put your address and phone number under all of your comments… but don’t really Marc, …really don’t, … just kidding.
