As many of you may already know, the Coalition petition is in circulation and moving forward. We ask everyone who is in agreement with this movement, to refrain from being negative. We ask that you think positive, and behave as such. While there are many attacks being launched at those spearheading this cause, it is important to understand that stooping to the lows of those attackers discredits the whole process.

The framers of the Home Rule Charter had the foresight to place checks and balances in the document for situations just like the existing one relating to the sale of Gracedale, and indeed we are glad they did. But we the people must not become like, or act like those with who we disagree. Let them talk, let them continue their attacks. The Coalition suggests that we walk the walk of the people we would like council to be, and possibly, by our example they will see and understand our position. If they don't, then we continue using the law to move forward and allow our great democracy to work as intended.

The COAF mission in this matter is to assist residents of NorCo who are not familiar with the processes available to voice their views, become familiar. But please, let us not become the people we disagree with.
