23 year old Quebec mayor steps down due to 'burnout'

[@BobzUrUncle-te6dj]

"A town of 1,500 people?" Im sure that the wildfire situation was terrible, but, once that was over, how much work could there possibly be for a town of 1500 people? Is it even a Full-time position? Better that she steps down and let's someone else step up to handle things.

[@commonsense82]

It's not a ft job. I live in a town of 13,000 and the mayor and councilors work 2 or 3 nights a week. They all have ft jobs elsewhere. They keep costs low and taxes low. We haven't had a property tax increase in the last 7 years. They are the best.

[@sheppardrj]

Here’s a suggestion, rather than de-stigmatizing “giving up” we de-stigmatize what it means to be a politician. We need to be kinder and more humane to our governors rather than destroy and publicly humiliate them and their families. However, signing up to do the job means you know what your getting into and you accept the challenge and see it through. At 23 there’s no way she had the experience, knowledge or wisdom to have stepped into that role.

[@Michael-pg7rv]

I respect her decision to step down. It is honourable to swallow your pride when you know that you can't bring your best or hold yourself to the promises you made to those who voted you in. On the flip side though it is kind of crazy that you could be "burnt out" at 23 years old.

[@nickyalousakis3851]

this is more of a statemen on gen Z than it is on politics. i think part of it is that housing has gotten so out of control particularly the last eight years.... that gen z and some gen Y have just given up. it's disheartening to see this how terrible it's been in canada lately and what it's doing to our younger generation.

When the going gets tough the snowflakes melt… 🇨🇦

[@juliawindstar]

Well said😂

[@Princessthickness]

Burnout? Try working in healthcare

[@realmikeq]

Maybe just maybe being 6 years out of high school she shouldn’t have been mayor in the first place, but hey let’s celebrate, so brave.

[@arricammarques1955]

How can a 23 year run a major city?

[@Jay-mm1kw]

It’s far from a major city lmao 1500 people

[@MoCo-vw8vy]

Major City🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@juliawindstar]

Arson not wild fires get the facts straight!

[@jobber1984]

Buddy wanted to tell the world about his undergrad degree. Lol

[@rhetorical1488]

ah another strong independent woman who needs no.....

[@annatar6453]

Man

[@martynobs6970]

💯

[@thepriest98]

Ah yes the snowflake generation who will retire/quit or burnout because they weren't taught real work ethic.

[@pawprint8167]

Quebec is an eastern province. They suck out of Canada and only put back for themselves. Not surprised a youngster has no stamina😂😂😂

[@Xocolatben]

Wtf??? It looks like it was some farmers popular kid running the town. None of us have the intellectual stamina or management experience to run a fortune 5000 company let alone one with 1200 clients.

[@TheTruth-n3k]

“Sense of boundaries.” You mean sense of laziness. This panel is one of the issues. People like this enable weakness, incompetence and selfishness. Finally, it doesn’t take courage to quit.

[@rideswift]

Agreed 100%

[@juliawindstar]

She saw the crazy criminal corruption and could not handle it😂 PM of Newzeland was a criminal!

[@antoniohenriquelopes5880]

Young ok , but to be a mayor asks experiencie. It’s ok at least try but the office requires more .

[@eleanorgliddon256]

Really?

[@gorgeousgeorge5173]

WTF is electing a 23 year old for mayor?

[@alhumphreys5784]

She campaigned on 2 new Starbucks

[@alexpereira6528]

A lie. Arden became an awful PM and anyone who isn't biased and can seek their news from other sources besides CBC will know how poor of a job she did

[@juliawindstar]

Let's read between the lines here. Trudeau being a narcisist has to believe that stepping down is courageous 😂 come on Justin! Step down straight to prison!

[@user__100]

Canada uses Newcomers to pay pensions of old Europeans through tax

[@larscederberg8564]

She probably got burned out due to incompetence among her colleagues she is too good to be a mayor

[@kevinbudgetkitchen551]

About having long meetings and not doing anything.....thats everywhere....let that sink in

[@very_awake]

She’s 23? What an achievement. Too bad she didn’t stick around.

[@philc824]

A lot of stress working for a public corporation in Canada. What stress when a Canadian city has a problem, they just raise taxes.

[@maranorth]

This 23 y/o Mayor handled the wildfires in her part of Quebec and served her people. I respect that, no matter her age. Jacinda Arden, PM of Zealand, who I deeply admire also served her country during COVID and she faced burnout. Maybe male politicians stay in their roles *too long* (eg. John Tory). Maybe term limits would be a healthy solution in all political roles.

[@martynobs6970]

Arden was likely the most deceitful, dishonest leader in NZ 's history - Covid-19 management.....disgraceful

[@darrenmolleson238]

awesome at 23 to get voted in at 23 it's amazing i wish in my jobs i did that do you think trump and others would do this i don't lean right or left i will vote for the person

[@karinturkington2455]

It doesn't matter what age your are, if you're burned out, you're burned out. Good for her for speaking out.

[@northhaven2501]

This story kinda has a Meghan Markle taste to it. They love the fame but not the commitment

[@dreal500]

Soft!

[@colleentaylor399]

Two women who can’t handle the job…they know their limits and that’s it! If a man had those jobs would he give in to pressure or soldier on?!

[@MBdad264]

More feminist bs

[@BurtTurbo]

jesus christ, it's 2023 Colleen. Do you know women are world leaders, ceo's, brain surgeons, astronauts...

[@martynobs6970]

Newsflash, men have built EVERYTHING - roads, skyscrapers, homes, telecommunication etc etc. Women are consumers not builders or inventors

[@neildcruz3227]

She looks 33 lol

[@rogergiddy2634]

😂

[@debbiejones6779]

Bahahahaha thats funny

[@MarkWickenheiser-yg7ny]

Let me guess, she still lives with mommy and daddy and has no responsibilities to care for.

[@ArtyMcMuffin]

​@brianlongmire2217Probably, especially since it's a remote village in Northern Québec and probably not that fun of a place to live, especially in winters. If that girl has any credentials, she went south to get an actual job.

[@marceldagenais1893]

Comes with the job to bad your not the PM him and boyfriend just jump on Airfarce one.
