Just realized tomorrow is the last meeting of our beloved 2018-2022 city council.
Which also means that its the final council meeting for longtime councillor, Jan Harder and before we listen to tomorrow's praise and accolades I've compiled some of her greatest hits (🧵a thread):

Who can forget one of our all-time favourite Jan Harder moments with her iconic line: "I withdraw what you didn't hear me say" when she told fellow councillor Riley Brockington to "shut up" during a hot mic moment at a tense council meeting:

Or that time that she was forced to resign from the Planning Committee for findings that she breached the Council Code of Conduct for hiring the daughter of a developer and long-time friend (Jack Stirling) in her office while also doing business with him.
Ah. Good times.
Ah. Good times.
Oh yes and that time that she opposed Councillor Catherine McKenney's motion to declare a housing emergency because she thought the word "emergency" was too "extreme" of a way to describe the ongoing housing crisis in #Ottawa.
Wouldn't want to anger her developer friends.
Wouldn't want to anger her developer friends.
And of course this classic moment in the good ole days of 2003 when she blamed "non-whites" for "causing trouble" in her community of Barrhaven.
It's been fun. We'll miss you Jan.
