I'm covered politics both at Queen's Park and on Parliament Hill.

The mayor's office called the special GIC meeting for Jan 27th.

Shortly thereafter, they realized the Mayor's schedule had a prior committment.

They emailed City Council requesting the meeting be rescheduled due to the Mayor's scheduling conflict.

The mistake was a scheduling one - the Mayor was double booked and called a meeting at a time he was not available.

I wrote this was a mistake that should not have happened but City Council should've accomodated the Mayor and rescheduled the meeting - instead personality differences got in the way and the meeting was not changed.

This is a correct and accurate assessment of the situation.

The Mayor's office offered different stories:

1) that they intended to have the scheduling conflict and it was not a mistake.

2) the Mayor did not have to be at the meeting

3) The Mayor never requested the rescheduling, it was city staff. (A statement denied by city staff)
