Village Media editor Carol Martin explains the legal ruling that led to Chris Patrie's ouster — and how the next mayor will be chosen
Earlier this week, an Ontario Superior Court judge ordered Chris Patrie removed from office after concluding that he violated two sections of the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act during his previous term as a city councillor.
Patrie, who has vowed to appeal the ruling, is staying quiet for the time being.
