This is my final* video about what happened at the Ward 4 Town Hall meeting. It's been very distracting and different from my other content. You might say that I was inspired by Louis Rossmann, who holds companies accountable - and more recently has been getting into local politics.

Councillor Susan Stevenson has been talking to news reporters, and what she is saying about me is not true. I'm here to set the record straight and show you what really happened.

This video features the uncut visuals from my phone recording while I talk, throughout the video.

I believe in transparency and filming public meetings, so everyone can see what's going on in their parts of the city. It's a public service.

So, in this video, I break down Susan's claims, read the email I sent here that she never answered weeks later, and explain why it's so important for citizens to hold their leaders accountable.

This isn't about causing trouble; it's about making our community more open and accessible for EVERYONE.

*hopefully my final video. Depends on what happens in the future and what Susan's responses are.
