"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

Apology If Required

I do not claim proficiency in naming  most valuable  hockey players who went on to make a living with guest appearances at public functions. I could have been mistaken.

If I  mis-identified a lewd speaker at a Police Chief's dinner twenty years ago, I apologize to the person wrongly named.

The day  after  the dinner, I was informed  by a friend  the offensive one  had  also been charged  with wife-abuse.

Apparently other than skill in a fast and furious game, there was little else to commend him .

Yet he was making a  post-heroic living by "entertaining"  people.

Looks like a meeting tonight to AGAIN discuss that proposed condo on Yonge. How many times do the opponents get to kick the same can of words around ? The problem was narrowed down the 2 lousy parking spots the last I heard.
will the event be streamed ?

The charges were dropped - the 'culprit ' was elsewhere.

I thought that was done after Cllr Gaertner tried initially to get the owner to promise a blasted awning & there were just the 3 usuals insisting on the additional parking spots........

The last White Knight on ice was Keon and Ballard [ not the one in Aurora ) worked him over.
