That would be like moving to Michigan and picking up saying "pop" instead of "soda" like your southern ass craves to do! You're not fooling us!

They're also called "councils" in Canada (ie. the city council that has jurisdiction over the city and surrounding area) and the elected officials in it are called councillors. Another name for it is municipal government. I imagine that the closest thing to a council in the U.S. would be any county government and mayors and shit.

"Council" in a UK town means local government, really. You pay council tax which in theory pays for roads, refuse collection, streetlighting, schools and for the police to go around and do some arresting. Public owned housing is known as "council housing." And local elections are sometimes known as "council" elections. Why you ask? |

Question for the UK Mockers Can one of you enlighten me on what "council" means in the UK? Is it supposed to mean "middle class" or something? |
