WINDSOR, ONT. The Essex County Chinese Canadian Association (ECCCA) has made a statement in regard to Ward 3 Essex town councilor Chris Vander Doelen s tweet, Friday. The tweet read, Damn. My test for the Chinese flu came back positive. So I hafta law low for another week a punishment worse than the illness proved to be. While they wish Vander Doelen a speedy recovery, they state, …his Twitter statement is unacceptable for someone in his position holding public office. For forty-five years, the ECCCA has contributed positively to our Windsor and Essex community working with our partners in civil society. We believe that Mr. Vander Doelen’s comments are unnecessary and harmful.
