Brett Smyth has resigned from North Saanich council effective immediately, just five months after his election, and shortly after publicly comparing his mayor to the leader of Nazi Germany.
In Smyth91裸聊视频檚 letter of resignation, he said the decision was not made lightly and was 91裸聊视频渕ade necessary, but not specifically,91裸聊视频� in light of an 91裸聊视频渙ff-handed comment91裸聊视频� he made at a recent council meeting.
While Smyth did not provide further details on the 91裸聊视频渙ff-handed comment91裸聊视频� he made, during the March 20 regular council meeting he and Mayor Peter Jones sparred briefly during the mayor91裸聊视频檚 report.
