uj ttithiiikisjj economist suntribune opinion thursday jan 17 2002 irr it it triune i jj7 c v thank goodness oiir mayors know how to behave mel mel mel what can i say im just glad waynes my mayor in whitchurchstouffville while markham has don king has margaret newmarket has tom aurora has tim richmond hill has bill and east gwillimbury has james then again we dont follow every word of the mayors inrork region the mayor of toronto is at it again public relations blunder number 72 zillion a few days ago mel had a choice mayor mel lastman could have stayed home where it was quiet and safe or he could have sauntered down to the holiday inn in downtown toronto and rubbed shoulders with a bunch of outlaws mel made his choice he stepped onto the public stage to shake the hands of a few members of the notorious hells angels his reason was simple to keep the streets of toronto safe at first i was willing to give mayor mel the benefit of the doubt i thought the mayor of the largest city in canada knew something the rest of us didnt i figured something bloody awful was brewing and mel came to the rescue i figured mel the brave one stuck his head out and was willing to risk all he was showing leader ship at its best by putting the fire out before the city burned to the ground of course we found out later that this was not the case mel was just being mel again mel now says he didnt know the hells angels are bad guys a day or two after the handshake with the bad angels mayor mel had a lit tle talk with toronto police chiefjulian fantino york regions former how does he get away with making so many mistakes unlike most politicians mel lastman is easy to forgive joan ransberry head cop outlined the well- earned reputation of the angels from hell mel was flabbergasted to say the least it was reported in a national newspaper that mel didnt know the hells angels make money from illegal drugs when he shook the hand of a gang member these guys are in drugs this is drug money i didnt know that phooey i heard the stories but yes the chief explained it to me weve gone over it the mayor told reporters after a morning spent trying to contain the dam age torontos mel is indeed the king of gaffes ill remind- everyone that a few short months ago mayor mel was about to go to a city in africa instead of keeping quiet he babbled about having an image of being boiled in a pot with natives dancing around his comments upset the entire world mel lastman does nothing in half measure and then theres his fam ily like everyone mel has trouble with his kids except with him its a little different mayor mel has 45-and- 48yearold boys demand ing child support how does he get away with making so many mis takes unlike most politi cians mel lastman is easy to forgive canadian kalp

reg 1495 ea this week i had the occasion this week to visit my trieria stan mintsoulis at travel lovers who firstly accused hie of foul play at hockey not true arid then of selling cantaloupes that were disappointing in flavour s i explained that during this period of the year despite our best efforts- melons are not pf the flavour that they are during april to july and since theyre not in full season the quantity is less and the price is higher doesnt always make sense i explained that i had just that day bought a shipment of cantaloupes which have greatflavour and that theyd be on sale
