A Toronto City Council meeting went completely off the rails Wednesday evening when, after nearly 11 hours of exhausting deliberating and debating, a city staffer accidentally forgot to mute himself and swore at a city councillor.
The flub took place around 8:15 p.m. when speaker Frances Nunziata announced that the meeting would continue for 45 more minutes before the rest of the agenda would be deferred to April.
Councillor Paula Fletcher then asked Nunziata why the agenda would be deferred to next month, to which she responded that they wanted to end by 9 p.m. but a city staffer who clearly didn t know he was unmuted responded by cursing before she could even finish her sentence.

A Canadian view on Ceta trade deal
Thu, Mar 4, 2021, 00:12
Sir, – David O’Sullivan outlines his beliefs as to why Ireland should pass the Comprehensive and Economic Trade Agreement (Ceta) (“Causing EU crisis over Canada trade deal would be mistake for Ireland”, Opinion & Analysis, March 1st).
While the media has covered arguments both in favour and against the agreement in Ireland, there has been little coverage given into how Ceta is viewed in Canada.
Ceta has as many critics in Canada as it does in Ireland. In 2019, a range of civil society organisations, including the Council of Canadians, the National Farmers Union and the National Union of Public and General Employees, called on the French national assembly and senate to reject Ceta. The leaders of the New Democratic Party and the Green Party of Canada also wrote to their French counterparts urging them to vote against the agreement.
