Literally just mocking democracy at this point.

I found more details about when those resignations happened from a link in OP's link:

Feb 9 - council approves a zoning change "to allow the AI data centre to proceed to a design stage"

March 16 - another closed meeting, this time something about ethics complaints

March 18 - 4 of the 7 council members resign and they're all mum about it. Maybe an NDA?

With the four resignations, Sherwood’s council no longer has quorum to conduct any meetings to address regular business. [...] In the meantime, per The Municipalities Act, the Minister of Government Relations will appoint “one or more persons to act as members of council” to meet quorum requirements until the fall.

Also Middle of March, the Bell Canada President and Scott Moe came out and said "the data centre would be moving ahead in this spring."

Now, April 20, another closed-door meeting. "We get so many emails tho." "Oops, our audio was off until the vote part! Our bad!" "Don't worry - they did a self-assessment." It's so blatant, it's almost funny.
