Below is every single tweet that was submitted to the Integrity Commissioner by Staff Sgt. Michael Elliott as part of his code of conduct complaint against Councillor Janz. Every single complaint was dismissed. Below we have two "known critics," Engel and Mohammed. #yegcc

Councillor @aaronpaquette makes his first appearance and in three of these cases Janz is retweeting and commenting on the work of journalists @mastermaq and @TheMaimann and our editor @duncankinney.

Another journalism outfit comes up in Elliot's complaint, this time it's @isthisforrealca. Michael Janz posting about the thin blue line flag that was, until very recently flying outside their building, seems to really rub Elliott and the EPA the wrong way.

The EPA do not like Janz bringing up just how little transparency there is around the police budget. We've also got the now infamous offer of free helicopter rides that was extended by Chief McFee to councillors. More thin blue line flag pictures and a RT of @mastermaq

Elliott and the EPA had an issue with Janz RTing Shannon Phillips talking about the harassment and illegal investigations she faced from Lethbridge Police?! Our report on McFee attending UCP fundraisers shows up oddly. Janz is just commenting on matters of public interest here

The final 3 images are all thin blue line related, including our report confirming that it is not permitted for EPS officers to have it on their uniform.
