"Like a red rag to a bull"
It's a familiar saying. It means an incitement to rage.
If it has been discounted asa myth, I haven't heard it.
Not being terribly familiar ,I would still not risk entering a field with a bull wearing a red jacket.
That was the sense I took of the criticism of The Honorable Kathleen Wynn's campaign advert.
I don't think criticism of a campaign ad is disrespectful.
I haven't seen that one but there are certainly plenty of them. Without attention to content, they are attractive. But they are political campaign ads.
All feature the Premier.
Maybe if the message was more profound than locations schools,universities,hospitals,factories.train platforms,and now apparently on the family farm the Premier's wardrobe not draw any attention.
I just realized ......it's all about entitlements in the Wonderful World of Wynn.
Ads do not show the Premier in hard hat and construction boots at the chained and rusty gate of the
abandoned construction sites of gas-fired Hydro generation plants in Sousa and McCallion
land. Nor does she appear in those locations offering apologies with the appalling monuments to entitlement; $1.2 billion worth. as a back-drop.
We have an oddly similar circumstance right here in River City.
The Hydro building needed for our purpose was transferred to use of the Federal Department of National Defense. As a result, we are now contemplating construction of a $26.9 million works yard and garage complete with an $814.000. treatment facility to remove non-existent salt from snow melting in Spring temperatures.
Maybe during this campaign ,we will see Aurora/Newmarket Liberal candidate in a brand new dress uniform of the Queen's York Rangers accepting honors from the Regiment for favors received.
More entitlement so willingly provided.
Ads can be tolerated only if one brings their own experience into them. Wynne should not have worn that outfit if she was visiting a working farm. Quite simple. I saw a shot of Mr Martin sandwiched between 2 local individuals . Not for a moment did I consider the gents from Aurora. My thought was that when I knew Mr Martin we were both younger & I think he had different teeth.
ReplyDeleteTake it easy today- going to be a scorcher in May.
ReplyDeleteWell, who was the dumb-ass who thought that we would put one over on the DOD by renting them a building for which we apparently had no use? And, of course, the details had to be kept "behind the green door."
It mattered not that we had to pay tens of thousands to make the building habitable for the new tenant, improvements that will trickle their way back to us in dribs and drabs over the course of years.
And then the effrontery to give the DOD an option to extend for several years or terms of years while the rental escalation barely covers the cost of cutting the grass, of which there is little - mainly weeds.
Congrats to the former for another boondoggle. We simply couldn't afford you so you had to go, and with a wave of the magic wand off you went in a small puff of black smoke.
I saw a photo of that outfit. The white boots were hilarious. I wonder if she even considered what she might step on or in.
ReplyDelete9:29- That was a planned and well executed "boondoggle". It was definitely no "Ooops"!

ReplyDeleteI never figured out what was in all that paper was shredding before the new council took office. It might not be so easy to wipe paw prints off now.
