The first is outgoing Vancouver Mayor, Sam Sullivan. Let's face it. Sam was elected because Vancouverites, under the illusion that the entire world monitors Vancouver politics, wanted to make a statement to the world by electing a silly man in a wheelchair. The world doesn't care.
The other, is of course, Wally Oppal. This is a man who was born here, who was favoured with a wonderful education all the way to law school, but still pimps himself out as an Indo-Canadian, as though he arrived from the Punjab and picked cranberries. The man is as dumb as a sack of hammers. I know a number of real Indo-Canadian people who don't rely on ethnic leverage to succeed.
We have a Merritt Festival in Merritt BC.We need a merit festival in politics.
"We have a Merritt Festival in Merritt BC.We need a merit festival in politics". Well put David, in a ONE sentence you spoke volumes! Heard Wally Offal talking about the Street racing tragedy yesterday on the airwaves. He was crying crocodile tears, lamenting that the Victims were returning from a wedding. They were not. He said that the Perp's car is in a Shop being repaired somewhere. It is not. It was UPSIDE DOWN in the street. His glibness gives a bad name to crocodiles. Gary.
ReplyDeleteWally Awful is a terrible Attorney General and province is suffering for it. At a time where a strong and independent Attorney General is needed, we get 'slick' Wally, it just furthers embarrasses the province.
ReplyDeleteSam (the Unwise) Sullivan is/was just a peanut, using his wheelchair as an election tool.
But here is the real issue David, the world doesn't give a damn about Vancouver, its politicos, SkyTrain or what have you. Find another rotting foot in a shoe and we will get world attention. for the rest, no one cares.
