Random Thoughts – Election Slogans, Self-Defeating Virtue Signalling and More
August 14, 2017
1. Dear Mayor Sendzik: Please fund your re-election campaign out of your own pocket, not mine. Slogans of elected officials have no place on official government signage.
1a. The Oxford Canadian dictionary defines “mayor” as “the head of a municipal corporation.” Sadly, Mayor Sendzik now defines it as “the municipal ambassador for the Liberal Party of Canada.”
2. Do Pen Center shoppers really need to text someone to help them find the food court? It isn’t exactly the West Edmonton Mall or the Mall of America. Go one way. If it’s not there, go the other way. It’s not that hard.
3. Overheard at the dentist’s office last week: “I’m here for a wallet biopsy.”
4. Dear CFL: Stop lecturing me on the virtues of “diversity.” Learn from the mistakes made by the NFL and its cable carrier, ES(JW)PN, a former giant of the industry whose fortunes have gone into the toilet as a direct result of trying to shove their left-wing agenda down our throats.
Remember that every preachy political message only reduces what little relevancy you have in this country. See Argonauts, Toronto. Stick to football. And try harder to protect your officials while you’re at it.
5. As the NFL anthem nonsense continues to go on, it is another clear indication that after suffering through a disastrous season in which ratings hit new lows, the league still doesn’t get it.
5a. Why does Roger Goodell still have a job?
6. Dear Paul Maurice: There’s going to be a bus rolling through Winnipeg this winter that Mark Chipman is getting ready to throw you under. Just so you know.
6a. If you need a good real estate agent, Paul, I can recommend one.
7. Dear Dale Hawerchuk: You will make a fine NHL coach one day. But not behind Chipman’s bench. That is not a job you want. Trust me.
