It is sad and tragic that LangfordB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s Stew Young could not accept his resounding mayoral (and councilB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s) defeat with any glimmer of dignity and grace.

You would have thought he would have used the occasion to congratulate and offer support to bring the Langford community together after a hard-fought election. But his so-called B´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·˜concession speechB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™ on CFAX was filled with attacks, misinformation, and attempts to discredit and disparage the intelligence and capabilities of the new mayor-elect and incoming councilors. He could not find it in himself to dial back the arrogance and show some humility.

ItB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s truly sad that Stew decided to end his long run as mayor on such a contemptuous, sour, low note.
