CTV Pulls A Fast One

Mulder

This morning the issue of the “support our troops” decals has become front and centre on a national level. The boycott of Toronto is growing. And in an effort to stifle the support for our troops, the CTV has made a mockery of the question as indicated by the image below which shows their poll today.

The way this is poll is worded is quite misleading.

Troop Support Poll on CTV2

The issue today is not to question the use of decals on city vehicles for “causes” but for our troops. Our troops are NOT a cause.

The fact is that with such an ambiguous question, I myself would vote no. But if you change the word causes to troops, you can guarantee that the results would be far different.

Shame on you CTV.

David Miller Raises Rainbow Flag, Takes Down Support Our Troops Decals

Mulder

God Bless Lowell Green.

This morning he is raving mad and he has a right to be. The leftist mayor of Toronto, David Miller, is calling for Toronto’s firefighters, police, and ambulance services to remove the “We support our troops” magnetic decals off of the cities vehicles.

However, just a few short days ago, the mayor, himself, raised the rainbow flag to kick off Toronto’s Gay Pride parade.

Lowell Green is calling for an immediate boycott of Toronto and I, for one, am joining him.

What I find most ironic about the mayor’s stand is that it was the military that was called in to dig the Big Smoke out of a blizzard back in the days of mayor Lastman.

I encourage Canadians out there to join this boycott until mayor Miller comes to his senses and I encourage everyone to email the mayor at mayor_miller@toronto.ca and let them know that if they continue to insult our troops, we are giving up on this modern day Sodom and Gomorrah.

$80/Glass Cognac On Zaccardelli's Expenses

Mulder

Not only was the pension fund being mismanaged but now we have the ex-Commissioner of the RCMP blowing tax dollars on expensive alcohol.

At a modest 16% income tax rate, the average person would have to earn $500 to generate $80 of taxes so that Julian “Livin’ The High Life” Zaccardelli could expense that $80/Glass Cognac.

Just something to chew on if you want to get your blood pressure up.

Talk about getting OfficiallyScrewed!!

Cookie Earns Silver At Provincials

Mulder

I hope I am not boring too many of those who read this blog for the politics but I have to give some kudos to my daughter Cookie and her best friend Moogles for earning a silver medal today at the Ontario Provincial Rhythmic Gymnastics Championship held here in Ottawa at the gorgeous Ashbury College.

The two were pretty much flawless in their duo ball routine and both me, the better half and Moogles parents are very proud of these two.

Second in the province and first in our hearts.

Way to go you two.
