"Tell Mel Doesn't Exist Anymore"

For the first time since he became Mayor, Mel Norton is getting some flak stemming from the SPCA's threat to close down.

Former Mayoral candidate Matthew Thompson charges you can't tell Mel anything because he doesn't return calls. He goes on to say Tell Mel hasn't existed since the May Municipal election. 

Thompson, who describes himself as an SPCA supporter, says he has heard back from some of the councillors but those who do support the animal shelter don't want their names publicised.

In what may be the earliest such announcement ever, Thompson is already saying he will run for Mayor again in 2016.
