(North Huron, ON) – Things got spicy at last night’s (10 Oct 2024) council meeting when disgraced Reeve Paul Heffer tried to dodge a simple yes-or-no question. The crowd, armed with their finest eye-rolls, saw right through his verbal gymnastics and responded with boos, jeers, and a few zingers that would make even the toughest politicians break a sweat. It’s fitting that the date was 10/10—police code for “Fight in Progress.” Well, council certainly got one.

The moderator, clearly caught off guard by the audience’s refusal to back down, looked like he might faint, especially after council members doubled down with their arrogant, condescending remarks. Instead of taking control, he let the verbal smackdown continue, likely fearing the crowd would turn on him next. No surprise—it was one of *those* nights.

From the get-go, Reeve/Mayor Paul Heffer was roasted like a Thanksgiving turkey. After enduring relentless grilling, he finally agreed to stop the illegal practice of dumping snow on sidewalks so kids won’t have to play Frogger in traffic on their way to school. And with pedestrian deaths up 82% last year, Heffer must’ve realized it’s not a great look to have children dodging both snowbanks and speeding cars. Finally, the town staff will have to do what they’re paid to do—protect the little ones.

In a rare moment of clarity (or sheer panic), Paul Heffer openly admitted he’s a coward—yep, those exact words left his mouth. His reason? He’s terrified of questions because, you know, the whole *risk of further incriminating himself and his buddies* thing. When the crowd heard him confess to his spinelessness, they responded with a resounding “Admitting it is the first step!” Cue the laughter. It was just another humiliation for the man who couldn’t give an honest answer if his political career depended on it.

And by the looks of things, it just might.
