Time constraints and an end to battles

My Don Quixotic dream gained no traction.

Alas I will fade to black here, continuing with the quiet word to a couple and old fashioned letter to a couple of others.

Thank you for dropping by, I'll still see an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or find me at work:

Days until the election

276 days to go until Voting Day, October 25th. Yes, a new, earlier date after Liberal Government changed it from November 8th.

Sad suggestion from questionable camp

Sunday, 06 December 2009 10:13 | Author: Alan Forde |

I got a copy of this course of action advised by Cheryl Glasford (StopCarolynParrish.com) :

"Here is a suggestion from one of our supporters and I like it. I will do a sample letter but please if you decide to join this e-mail campaign feel free to personalize your message:

Cheryl

Perhaps we can inundate all of their e–mail mailboxes with letters of condemnation and distaste.

I’d be delighted to write them something but if you could send out a simple form letter which everyone could forward , that would be helpful.

Also helpful to me would be an easily copyable list of the seedy, self-serving seven and their e-mail addresses.

Here are the famous seven:"

(councilor's email addresses were then displayed) Fortunately she listened to a writer (lawyer Peter Smith) and later questioned her request, but did not retract nor apologize for the clutter and waste of time she caused.

This is what I'd written to a couple of friends:

"So if I read the intent of the attached note... Can I conclude that they remain bullies, social miscreants and frivolous civic detractors?

Shame on Cheryl for considering lowly childish tactics.

Let's start an anti Hazel gathering? Can we rent an underused City property like the Living Arts Centre?"

Of course all of that last line is in jest.

For those interested in clarity - you might take a look at the Privacy Policy of Ms. Glasford's website. Funny in all three web browsers I use. Just like the message she is trying to spread.

Old beliefs (since proven false)

New Dec 26, 2006 - from the Globe & Mail, instead of Toronto's Amalgamation delivering $300,000,000 in savings per annum and leading to lower staff counts - staff is up 4,031 in 10 years, no sign of the savings anywhere.

Christopher you fool, the Earth is flat.
Don't believe them, Germany won't attack.
That Smoking is good for you.
The Holocast did not happen.
Thalidomide is a "wonder drug" for insomnia, coughs, colds and headaches - and safe for expectant mothers.
Montreal Olympics will not have a deficit - Budget $310 million - Final bill $1.455 Billion.
Of course Rock Hudson is straight.
The President insisted attacking Cambodia was necessary.
Smoking in Ontario movie theatres is OK (front four rows + balcony prior to '75 or so).
(your choice) wasn't a drug cheat in athletics.
The 100 MPG Carburetor will save you money.
There's gold at Bre-X.
Milly Vanilly is 1990's Best New Artist, despite getting caught lip synching on MTV Live five months prior.
Too big to fail = Enron, GM, NorTel, AIG, Royal Trust,
Ontarians received fair value for Smart Systems for Health Agency ('02-'07) - bill $647,000,000. Now add in EHealth.
The changed Minutes at City Hall were a simple mistake.

A reader notes that "U.F.F.I. (Urea Formaldehyde Foam Insulation) is a health concern and we need to spend 5000 taxpayer dollars/UFFI home to aleviate that concern. I don't believe the National Research Council (NRC) found one case of illness due to the installation of U.F.F.I." I found one quick background piece to support him.

Mission Statement

Wednesday, 09 September 2009 00:00 | Author: Alan Forde |

One man's effort to improve voter turnout in the October 25th, 2010 civic election.

There are so many better causes - but as the 100,000th person to get active about the atrocities in Darfur, global pollution, missing aboriginal women, systemic violence, poverty and more - I bring no impact. I do like our City, lived here for 24 years in three homes, and I expect a lot more from it. Being part of the best is a wonderful feeling. Without being partisan I hope to get people informed, involved and voting Nov. 08, 2010 - even if against my own choices, just vote. I hope this can be a starting point for anyone wishing to shorten their learning curve to "get up to speed" about issues in Mississauga before heading to the polls.

Please use your real name if posting- how else can we pursue transparency and accountability? That said - if I know who you are and we can figure out the disclaimer and your rationale is sound - there may be a reason to move from that ideal. You will note many invitations to write with critique and suggestions - all input is valuable and welcome.

My goal with this project is to get more people engaged in the issues, involved in the process and casting a ballot November 8, 2010. One week after the results are final, I'll write a closing commentary and wind-up the site.
