Coun. Evan Woolley apologized Monday for publicly calling Coun. Sean Chu an “ignorant moron,” a comment that the city’s integrity commissioner ruled a violation of city council’s code of conduct.
The council watchdog received four complaints about a late-night Twitter post Woolley made last November, in which he said Chu is “one of the most ignorant morons on city council,” adding that “every developer that donates to him is a target that I will push.”

Thunder Bay City Council meeting, March 23, 2020 (Screenshot)
A pat on the back for Thunder Bay city council from the Integrity Commissioners office.
In her report to council Monday night, Co-Principle Janice Atwood-Petkovski revealed in other cities, councillors have crossed the line and interfered with city staff, but not so in Thunder Bay.
“You are operating properly, you have a good code of conduct. You have a relationship, when there is a question, members can reach out to the Integrity Commissioner and get advice, and stay within the lines,” pointed out Atwood-Petkovski.
The commissioner added other cities have dealt with conflict of interest or too much interaction on social media.
