Congratulations, Whitehorse!

Your laziness and lack of concern for this town glow as bright as the star on your Xmas tree.

Only 2,000 people out of 11,000 voters turned up to cast a ballot last Thursday (Star, Dec. 2), which is seriously pathetic.

I guess you are happy living under a dictatorship, where accountability only exists in the dictionary on your shelf.

Time after time, you people prove you are scared of change.

Time after time, your silence screams, "I love paying more and more for less! How far do you want me to bend over?”

Awww, was your favourite show on today?

Maybe you forgot to vote.

Maybe you don't care.

Well I do. I'm tired of a council and mayor who decide what is best for us, ignores the voice of the people, and uses lies to further their agenda.

And I'm equally tired of how my Yukon has changed in such a short time.

But hey, that's me. I'm a thirdgeneration Yukoner. My grandfather and grandmother were Mr. and Mrs Yukon.

As well, we have a street named after us in Carcross. My grandfather is buried almost next to Skookum Jim in Carcross.

For people who need a refresher course on Yukon history, Skookum Jim was partly responsible for the Gold Rush in 1898.

I'm embarrassed of what the Yukon has become, and I'm sure my grandparents would be too.

It's turning our great territory into what the south is like, as I've lived down there in the past.

But that's what Bev and crew want for this town: a mirror image of the garbage down south. That's all we hear – comparisons of down south.

Blah blah blah ... no one cares about what other cities are doing.

Stop comparing our town to southern jurisdictions and do your job and run the town!

And you seem to forget that those cities have actual services which "serve the people.” Not bailing out private ski hills or taking people to court because they dared to stand up to Queen Bev.

Or constantly raising fees because you clowns don't know how to manage money at all.

From stupid roundabouts, to a bus service that serves no one, to wreacking sensitive wildlife habitats, to destroying what democracy is all about, they take the cake.

What exactly are you guys being paid for? I could round up 10 ravens, and they would do a better job than all of you combined.

If anyone remembers, I was the only one to object to the roundabout in Riverdale. I was 100-percent right, like I usually am.

How many accidents have there been now, Bev?

Exactly.

Where are you, Riverdale Association, or whatever your name is?

You supported something that is now hurting people, and yes, will kill someone eventually. The cow created a hazard out of nothing; do you people care?

What happens when a child is killed there? Because it's only a matter of time, and you know it.

Your fake group doesn't represent Riverdale. All you represent are your own special interests.

If anyone should be in charge of your association, it is me. I've probably lived in Riverdale longer than everyone in your fake group combined. Because anyone with a brain would have stood up and said no.

And it's funny that I was the only one to oppose it, and I guess that means I'm the only one around here with any brains.

No one cares about your failed legacy that you want to leave in this town, Bev. You have no business running this town, period.

Please do us all a favour and go back to hairdressing, as you have proved a long time ago that you are no leader, and never will be one.

You think you know best. Well, you don't, and never will.

Why can't you have the snow removed, Bev? It seems it gets worse as years go by.

But leave it to your spin doctors to say, "People are happy with the services they get."

Funny how I'm never asked to do your surveys; neither has anyone I know.

As far as I can tell, there probably aren't any surveys, just propaganda.

I guess having your road plowed once a year is good enough, right?

Back in the day, snow removal was never any issue. Our only chance at accountability was to elect Duke Connelly last Thursday.

Leave if to the residents of Whitehorse to screw that up– yet again.

Have fun paying more for the same thing year after year, with less and less to show for it.

Have fun knowing you live under a dictatorship.

Have fun knowing your apathy is to blame for all of this.

Please, Duke, run again next year. Heck, run for mayor; we need someone like you.

We can take back our town back,.

And we will.
