He argues council lacks vision and hides too much behind closed doors, especially on matters of public interest. With no provincial code of conduct since 2025, there’s no clear penalty for breaches, sparking fears of future leaks and eroding accountability. Mayor Farkas refuses to comment, while Johnston accuses him of trying to oust him—something Farkas denies. The fallout highlights a growing crisis in local government transparency.
