“To me, you don’t do that,” said Rheault.
In the Beaconsfield Community Facebook group, Bourelle had posted a list of his administration’s accomplishments over the past four years.

“By looking at the photo below, I would have a suggestion to improve your health. You can no doubt guess what it is.”
“You can say I disagree with you, which is what I say. But you cannot say, ‘Haha, you have a big belly,'” Rheault told Global News.
