Mayor Farkas fires back, calling the numbers preliminary “wishlists” and warning of real consequences, including financial penalties, for leaking sensitive info. Meanwhile, fellow councillor Andrew Yule says the leak breaches municipal ethics, even as the province finalizes its code of conduct — sparking a fierce debate over accountability and openness at the top of city government.
