“This is our meeting, and we’ll have it the way we want it”
What you see here is how city council members, and mayors too, get tossed out by voters – when they treat the public with contempt.
Usually when it happens, it’s a little more subtle and behind the scenes, since most people who have enough social session to get elected to office – in, say, a city as large as Vancouver – realize that they look like arrogant tyrants when they abuse people at public meetings. Evidently not in this case, and this video seems to be in the process of going viral.
The opposition to Vancouver’s elected officials is apt to soon do likewise. Jeanne Harris (who among other things seems to think she’s the mayor) in particular, and maybe Tim Leavitt (who seems to have forgotten he is the mayor): Don’t be surprised if a recall effort gains some traction before long on the basis of this video.

Zounds! Jeanne Harris at least had the decency to leave the meeting after the guy she told to “get out” didn’t leave. (Good for him.)
That is one seriously dysfunctional city council, and one seriously toxic personality on it. Sorta makes you wanna go to their meetings, doesn’t it?
