After a decision to axe a planned waterslide elevator intended to assist kids with disabilities, a Regina city councillor had her microphone turned off as she expressed outrage about the reversal.

"How dare you take this away from the disabled community. The community that was so excited to finally go down a goddamn waterslide," Ward 7 Coun. Terina Nelson said.

“I hope you’re all ashamed of yourselves. We were going to be the first in the world [to have this] and because you didn’t build proper doorways and you didn’t build proper entranceways, now we are suffering for it," Nelson said, who's been highly supportive of the project.

At one point in the speech Nelson’s microphone was turned off, she was also warned not to swear by Mayor Sandra Masters. You can watch Nelson’s entire speech by using the player at the top of this story.

She began her remarks by saying she feels that if she disagrees with the majority of council on other decisions, something she is seeking will then be voted down.

“I’m learning that if I don’t vote for something then something gets demolished, if I don’t go this way then something gets taken out” she said.

"I am sick, absolutely sick."
