Mississauga News - Jan. 7, 2010 - Letter by Karen Carstensen Grow up, councillorDear Editor: Comments by others - 3 - to this web-page at time of posting; Think About It Jan 9, 2010 4:16 PM Fraternity birds of the same feather Rather than promising to cut their Mayoral salaries by 10% and freezing it for the remainder of terms, two seagulls fighting for the same fish are taking the higher tax road unofficially declaring themselves first and second place winners bogarting most of the media attention on themselves. * Agree 1 The Mississauga Muse Jan 9, 2010 12:43 PM Stephen, me-thinks (regrettably) that I was right 1. MISSISSAUGA INC runs Mississauga. 2. MISSISSAUGA INC prospers on secrecy (while touting "accountabilty and transparency"). 3. MISSISSAUGA INC does not want residents to know THEY run Mississauga. 4. To protect/perpetuate the MYTH of MYTHissauga ("It's all Hazel") MISSISSAUGA INC **must find** a Hazel2 at any costs. 5. Seems today's Ted "Friend of Hazel" Woloshyn's column has unfortunately proven me right. See http://tinyurl.com/yady7dp Stephen Wahl Jan 9, 2010 11:54 AM Missy News egged me on Lord be geeez Missy News editorial types, whom choose letters for editors for this here publication. Are you feeding these suckers to me just for fun, or are you seriously just givin every wunnabee a chance to expressing thar opium inion. I have tried and tried to be ah voiden this temptation to comment but I a feels that you bin a eggen me on. Now I am a gonna have to waste my time and yours to goes on a bit about this here Stephen Wahl Jan 9, 2010 11:54 AM Meltdown This descriptive has already been overused and talked about, but I guess I will have to repeat my earlier comment. The description of the incident as reported by the prime witness to the meltdown of Councillor Parrish indicates Carolyn took down an outdated poster, tore it into four pieces, then smirking and laughing she stepped on them. Definitely silly, kind of rude and certainty inappropriate behavior for a public figure; but a meltdown it was not. * Agree - Disagree 1 Stephen Wahl Jan 9, 2010 11:53 AM Out on the town Going to a restaurant in Port Credit is considered going out on the town? If it is then is the writer opining that there is something wrong with that? Stephen Wahl Jan 9, 2010 11:53 AM Cannot control her hate Although Carolyn Parrish has some serious differences with some of the Mayors actions, she does not hate Mayor McCallion and the Mayor does not hate Carolyn Parrish. To categorically state such an opinion as the writer has could be considered libelous. Stephen Wahl Jan 9, 2010 11:52 AM Tearing up a poster I will just repeat myself yet again. The description of the incident as reported by the prime witness to the incident indicates Carolyn took down an outdated poster and tore it into four pieces Stephen Wahl Jan 9, 2010 11:52 AM In a private business In a public restaurant open to the public Stephen Wahl Jan 9, 2010 11:51 AM Is stupid Noooo your stupid. No. YOUR stupid. No Im not your stupid. I am not. You ARE. . . . Stephen Wahl Jan 9, 2010 11:51 AM Who egged her on What does it matter Stephen Wahl Jan 9, 2010 11:50 AM Mystery person who paid the bill Whether they were two couples or just four friends going out together, there is nothing unusual or nefarious about one person picking up the check for a diner for four. In fact it would have been unusual for the restaurant to issue separate checks. What did the other patrons in the restaurant have to eat and drink, and who from their table picked up the cheque. Im sure that if the restaurant owner had known the name of the fourth person he would have been indiscrete and rude enough to disclose it. Stephen Wahl Jan 9, 2010 11:50 AM She called it a tension reliever And it was for the moment and then it backfired. What is your point? Stephen Wahl Jan 9, 2010 11:49 AM Disrespect is nothing new and getting worse Yes it is. Carolyns act of disrespect prompted the restaurant owner to escalate the situation by showing great disrespect to the other 3 people dining with Carolyn by disclosing private information about them to the general public. The restaurant owner has also shown great disrespect to his past and present customers by making them conscious of the fact that their personal information, tastes, finances and relationships could be disclosed on a whim should the owner or staff ever feel slighted. Stephen Wahl Jan 9, 2010 11:49 AM Voters expect a diligent leader Diligent? Well how then did the Borealis veto power thingy just slip through? How do the Minutes of meetings get altered? Stephen Wahl Jan 9, 2010 11:48 AM Next election cannot come soon enough You mean like before the Inquiry is finished? Uatu Jan 8, 2010 12:05 PM Mantis reveals disappearance of 5,566 Mississaugans! Mantis claims there are about 5 Barber supporters in Mississauga and they are all posting here. Since the last municipal election, 5,566 voters must have vanished. Apparently we, the only ones left, are ruining the Mississauga News for Mantis. (To that I say, YAY!) Except... searching the posts here doesn't turn up even five Barber supporters. Only the Muse has ever expressed support for Barber, and that was carefully qualified. Now Mantis, you're not assuming that anyone who posts an opinion opposing yours supports Barebr are you? Because that would be, you know, monumentally stupid. * Agree 3 - Disagree 1 Mantis Jan 8, 2010 10:51 AM Ms. Carstensen Is Absolutely Correct Ms. Carstensen is absolutely correct. Parrish is a disgrace to this city. We need to ensure that she loses and loses big in the coming municipal election. About the only person that I wouldn't vote for in order to defeat her is Donald Barber. It's funny how there are about 5 Barber supporters in the city of Mississauga and they are responsible for posting about 90% of the stuff that gets plastered all over this site. It's at the point where nobody bothers to read the blogs because they don't make any sense and it's all the same tired old rubbish. Look at the feedback comments to articles and letters - it's the same thing. Post after post after post by the same handful of people who have completely obliterated the utility of that particular site feature through their repeated inane and usually completely off-base and nonsense rantings. * Agree 2 - Disagree 3 - Offensive 1 The Mississauga Muse Jan 7, 2010 11:16 PM Oh. And this City doesn't embarrass! To be capable of embarrassment demands a conscience as a pre-requisite. * Agree 3 - Disagree 2 Home Page - Main Table of Contents - Back up a page - Back to Top [COMMENTS BY DON B. - ] |
