"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

My Call

When a resident enters public debate with  political criticism , they are not seeking privacy or obscurity .

A negative reaction is to be expected

Not necessarily in my space.

Enough about the former Councillor .

I will pick the topic for the week-end.

This is a very unusual story.

NORAD diverted two CF-18 fighter jets based out of Bagotville, Que., to escort a Sunwing Airways flight back to a landing at Pearson Airport, Toronto, following "disruptive behaviour of a pair of female passengers aboard a commercial jet travelling from Toronto to Cuba.

NORAD stands for North American Aerospace Defence Command.

The two unruly females were arrested by Peel Regional Police officers.

The air carrier said the female passengers apparently consumed a "significant quantity of their duty free alcohol purchases in the plane's lavatory." A cigarette was lit, a fire alarm was set off and the two got into "physical altercation with each other."

Life can certainly be exciting!

You're right Evelyn. Truth is we all know we've had much worse. And we have a few players now that are worse.

Christopher Watts has dealt with the matter quite satisfactorily.

Off you go to plant some seeds in virgin soil.
