How much of your municipality payments are made by cheques versus EFTs? After sharing many stories of fraud and forgeries in unit 5, what is stopping your municipality from doing most payments by a more secure way like EFT? Any thoughts/experience? #MGMT0180

From here in Canada, the US seems to have the best democracy money can buy. We have election spending laws which are followed by all parties. There is probably some cheating, but nothing approaching the obscene amounts of cash thrown around in the US to buy elections with disgusting attack ads.

I would argue that a CAO must posses excellent facilitation skills. This involves steering, coaching, aligning, structuring, and de-escalating … with council, staff, and ratepayers. #MGMT0180
